hello, i've recently been liking many of your drawings, and i would just like to say your work has really brightened up my view in life.

for a while, i have struggled with depression, ptsd, and even great flashes of anger. the messages in your work have inspired me to take better care of my mental health, and to look for a more positive view for the future.

thank you ❤️

AWWH :’) I’m so glad!!!!!!

thank you for taking the time to message me this, it means a lot to me.

life is really hard, but please remember you are strong enough to overcome whatever comes your way! be kind and patient with yourself and never feel bad for doing what you need to do to look after yourself ❤️

Hey! I love your art, and I was just wondering if you had any options to buy pdfs of your work? I know that you sell prints in your shop, but I'd really like to be able to turn some of your art into full posters to hang on my wa. Thanks :)

i would absolutely be open to individual sale of PDFs. just email or message me on instagram and we can organise this! i could receive payment via ko-fi or paypal. would have to figure out how to get the PDFs to you as the files are large, maybe either a listing on my ko-fi shop or google drop box.

I saw on your Instagram account you made a comment about having a partner!! Congratulations!! That makes me so happy for you. I feel a lot of hope with it too so if you feel comfortable I was wondering if you maybe you could share how you met and what they are like ?

Love your art so much ♥️

this is such an incredibly sweet message 🥲 i showed it to my partner as well and he thought it was so lovely haha. i don’t think i’ve actually updated anywhere publicly that i decided to try dating men again, but yeah i identify as bisexual or queer now. a lot has happened for me over the past year, i’ve changed a lot as a person in many ways. i never would have thought i’d date a man again, because i couldn’t see myself being happy long term because in my experience i’ve had a lot of difficultly connecting with men emotionally and feeling like my needs are never met in that regard.

i met my partner at the gym. he’s similar to me in that we both have similar interests and enjoy chatting about all sorts of things for hours, which i felt was always lacking with men who i’ve dated in the past. it was hard to have in depth, deep and emotionally intimate/vulnerable conversation, and i found i’d always have to resort to talking to my mum or female friends about a lot of stuff. but he meets all my needs and makes me so unbelievably happy. i think this is my first time experiencing real healthy love. it’s very special and i want him in my life forever.

other than having similar interests and core values, we are very different people in terms of our personalities. i’ve never dated someone who is so different to me before, but i think it’s been a huge factor in what makes us work so well. we balance each other out.

it’s definitely not how i pictured my dating life going, but it’s been one of the biggest blessings in my life and i wouldn’t want my life any other way.

i hope you can find someone just as special very soon ❤️ meeting new people and dating can be very draining. i struggled the most with being let down/disappointed time and time again, over and over, being straight out lied to/or given false hope, - then on top of all that i felt so lonely. i’m glad i didn’t give up and kept trying, it was all worth it ❤️ all the best and thank you again for your kind message! x

it’s been a really intense year for me so far (realised I’m trans, splitting up with my partner of 13 years) and your art is giving me hope that things will work out 💜 thank you for sharing it with us, I hope you’re doing well and that life is treating you kindly

I'm so sorry to hear 2025 has been rough so far... you are doing amazing by pushing through it all and showing up every day. I'm really glad to hear my art is helping you in some way, this makes me so glad :') I'm so proud of you for allowing yourself to make the choice to embrace your true self. I can't imagine how difficult that decision was to make, but you have made the right choice 1000% and you deserve to find happiness in your life. This pain will only be temporary. Hope you don't mind me sharing your ask publicly as it may help other trans people to see they are not alone. I hope the rest of 2025 is much kinder to you and I will be wishing you all the best <3
