Roger and Eddie
Here’s an outtake from a challenge I was planning to do. There’s an error in this one, but I love how it turned out, so here you go!
Roger the Roster and Eddie the Eagle spent their days on the balcony, indulging in marshmallows and sipping wine. A violin’s soothing melody floated through the air, enhancing their wishy-washy atmosphere. Despite the music’s charm, their lives felt stagnant, with financial troubles looming. The stark reality was that their car was about to be impounded, a constant reminder of their struggles. Yet, they chose to focus on trivial pleasures, seemingly unfazed by the precariousness of their situation.

Something New
I have been encouraged by others to sell some of my artwork as postcards, stickers, prints, and more. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I should pursue this idea, but after discussing it with many friends who were really enthusiastic, I decided to go for it. Since I started this project, I’ve felt more excited than I have in a long time. I’m beginning to believe that this is something I am meant to do. I plan to take my time and enjoy the journey.
