I dream of becoming a full-time potter one day and quitting my day job.
I've been seeing some posts that are critical of artists sharing/selling their work, but I'm hoping Mastodon will be able to become a sustainable alternative for artists.

I’m doing a watercolour course where one of the challenges is to do a landscape painting in ten brushstrokes or less. This is the result and I honestly love it.
I was a wild child, and I couldn't imagine a future where I wasn't a child who climbed rocks and slept in caves. At school, a sentence, a word, or a comma was enough to shoot me to some remote place, a landscape to explore, full of life and details. I rarely finished reading their books, and then there would be a test I couldn't complete. They never asked me about those second places, about all the places I escaped to. 20 years have passed, and I'm still there.

#scavengersreign is a rare bird, a shooting star. I was lucky enough to see it inside, work on it. Now it's re-released, let's keep this anomaly shining.
