Are y’all ready for Inktober? ✨. . Trying it again this year. 🙏🏻 I learned from last year that fine pens took too long and I burnt out halfway. This time, I’m sticking with my brush pen. :) . . #PrincessLeia #StarWars #Doughnut #donutspacebuns #spacebuns #art #ink #illustration #blackworknow (at Pasadena, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoNjVUllh9G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=52ixbn92bmup

3 Important Life Lessons I Learned this Week. . 1) There is leadership in silence. “Even an introvert can lead,” says Tim Elmore. Listening and critical thinking is leadership. . 2) Fun ≠ Happiness. “Fun is temporary. Happiness is ongoing.” says Dennis Prager. Happiness is not just a feeling, it’s an attitude. . 3) Mosquitos are out to get me. . . #panda #fox #pincollector #enamelpins #enamelpingame #artistalley #artist #pandalover #foxlover #animalloversofinstagram (at Pasadena, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnu9GRpBfF_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4jv6j9uxfl86
