as a kid i got scared i’d lose all my front teeth in one go so when they finally got wobbly i just didn’t tell anyone for months and i let my adult teeth grow in behind them. it looked like this (fig 1) and i hid it like this (fig 2)
i got my first tattoo two years ago, it was based off this sick wall i saw in paris

for my beloved @minasheep.bsky.social, thank you! 💚 ángel from kof, as is tradition I went kind of too hard with the first one of these but it came out sick so it's all good, here's the "actual" sketch for comparison lol
! sad to miss this one, sold out already! Ambiguous Girls was beautiful, the peek of gloss on the inside cover was an inspired choice 🩷
trying out different desk configurations while we work together in the office

had to (hopefully temporarily) go private for medical treatment, so I'm tentatively opening ko-fi sketch commissions to help pay it off. minimum payment £15 for a little colour sketch, but the higher the donation the more detail you get. tank u everyone 👼 ko-fi.com/sna1l/
the wind carried him into the neighbour's front garden so I finally got a better look at what had become of him... their little black cat made off with his body not long after.
at the time I was a NEET so pretty much all I did was watch this thing from my window... until one day a full year later when a nesting jackdaw couple came by, tore him out of the wall, and threw him down to the ground
there he stayed for months, unbeknownst to the neighbour, turning completely hollow. fledgling sparrows came and went. young magpies came by every now and then to scream in terror at him, as they do. every morning I woke up to the sight of this dead magpie flapping in the wind
speaking of birdwatching, here's a story about a dead one (with pictures!) years ago, not long after I moved back into my parents' house, a magpie chased a sparrow back to the nest between two sandstone bricks. his head got stuck and presumably the family pecked the shit out of it until he died
