Text reads: when I’m working on my dolls, my mind goes to a peaceful place. a place where there’s no judgment or fear. just the work.

One comic panel in graphite. Closeup of the person staring lovingly at the finished doll. Below, the cat doll stands alone on the page, all painted and strung and sparkling like new.

Text reads: …Plus, they’re really, really cute. It’s hard to feel sad or lonely when you’re looking at them.
