Could be anything…

A quiet study of restraint at altitude. Framed through an aircraft window, the world below drifts by while the interior remains still—objects worn, familiar, and waiting. Subtle distortions in perspective and muted tones emphasize the tension between motion and pause, progress and endurance. This piece captures the discipline of waiting while suspended between departure and arrival, where patience is not passive, but practiced under pressure.

Getting that celtic groove on again…

Happy Solstice one and all :-)

In my pursuit of advancing my career in technology I came across an advertisement for a Harvard Blockchain Certificate program that immediately caught my attention. The website was impressively crafted featuring official logos, detailed course descriptions and what appeared to be genuine testimonials from "alumni."

There was no login portal, no customer support and no way to recover my funds, just an empty void where the program had once existed.

Jury Duty, June 2013 Fifty of us sat in that room, each one staring at a phone or scribbling in a notebook, killing time. The lawyers asked their questions, picking us off one by one like a slow game of dodgeball. I wasn’t chosen, so I drew instead—earbuds, slouched shoulders, the hum of waiting caught in a few quick lines.

For a long period had viewed cryptocurrency as both a horizon of possibility and a landscape fraught with peril. My investment in XRP was meant to be a deliberate and disciplined step toward financial independence grounded in careful research and measured reasoning. Yet despite vigilance I became entangled in one of the most calculated frauds I have ever encountered.The ordeal began with an unsolicited approach from a man who styled himself as a broker. He spoke with eloquence about volatility cycles, algorithmic trading and insider strategies that promised to turn market unpredictability into consistent profit. The platform he introduced appeared impeccably crafted with real-time charts, seamless dashboards and a professional façade designed to inspire confidence. His promise was irresistible: daily profits, exponential growth and supposedly guaranteed returns. Though instinct urged caution, ambition and misplaced trust compelled me to transfer $85,000 worth of XRP.At first the illusion was flawless. My balance multiplied at a dizzying pace supported by polished reports and reassuring communication. I convinced myself I had made the right decision. But the moment I tried to withdraw the deception unraveled. Excuses surfaced such as verification delays, system maintenance and compliance reviews. The pretexts grew increasingly elaborate until without warning the entire platform disappeared. My login failed, the website dissolved and the so-called broker vanished into digital oblivion. My funds were gone.The financial blow was heavy but the deeper wound was humiliation knowing I had been manipulated so completely. In my desperation to find recourse I discovered Salvage Asset Recovery. Unlike the fraudsters their team projected candor and expertise. They offered no grandiose guarantees, only a clear plan of action: trace the stolen assets across the blockchain, analyze wallet addresses and engage with exchanges to intercept and freeze funds before they vanished into anonymity.Their pursuit was methodical. Using advanced forensic techniques they followed every digital footprint, identified laundering attempts and compiled evidence robust enough to withstand scrutiny. They kept me informed at every stage, never exaggerating progress, only presenting facts. Weeks later against all my expectations, Salvage Asset Recovery succeeded in recovering $70,000 worth of XRP. Though not the entirety of my loss it was an extraordinary victory and proof that justice in the digital wilderness is still possible.This reshaped my perspective. In cryptocurrency greed is the trap and vigilance the shield. Yet with the right expertise recovery can be achieved. For their relentless dedication, integrity and results I remain profoundly indebted to Salvage Asset Recovery. You can connect with them via below Telegram +16592200206

As it says on the tin!

Just some of my bat creations. Also, training at work was very boring.

I took an older character I had made and reinvented her.

I had some inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft and Disney. The tentacles come out from under her dress. I guess I'm embracing my inner villain or anti-hero, she is...disturbing but in an innocent sorta way.

old but thought I share

hes just so weird

My favorite Oc, not a perfect sketch, but I love drawing her when I get a chance

I went to sleep while going over various self-defense scenarios, and when I woke up this outfit in my head. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm sure there's some deep, dark, involved backstory behind that tatoo

Sharky swimming >:3

As a lifelong Indiana resident, I never thought I would fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam especially not one that would wipe out $30,000 of my hard-earned savings. It all began when I was contacted by a woman named “Sophia” through Facebook. She claimed to be a professional crypto investment advisor based in Manhattan and came across as incredibly knowledgeable and confident. Her profile was convincing, filled with images of high-end offices, client testimonials, and even fake endorsements from celebrities, all crafted to earn my trust. At first, I had always been cautious with my money, but her pitch was persuasive. She promised a “low-risk” investment opportunity with high returns, backed by what appeared to be credible audits and consistent performance reports. I decided to test the waters by investing $200. To my surprise, I was able to withdraw the money with no issues, which made the platform seem trustworthy. Feeling more confident, I went all in. Over the next few weeks, I invested $25,000 into what I believed were Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions through her platform. The dashboard displayed constant growth. My account balance soared, and I felt thrilled watching my so-called earnings increase. It looked like the investment was paying off until things took a turn. To unlock my “profits,” I was asked to send an additional $4,800 to cover something called “gas fees.” Hesitant but eager to access my growing funds, I sent the money. Then, just like that, the platform disappeared. My account was inaccessible, Sophia stopped responding, and I was left with nothing. My savings were gone, and I felt betrayed and ashamed. Just when I thought I had lost everything, I came across HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS, a cyber forensics group specializing in retrieving stolen cryptocurrency. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them. They used advanced tools like Chainalysis to trace the stolen crypto across blockchain and collaborated with international authorities and exchanges to freeze the assets. Amazingly, just last week, HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS recovered 100% of my lost funds. I was stunned and overjoyed. Thanks to their determination, what I thought was gone forever was returned to me. I learned a painful lesson, but I’m grateful for the second chance. Their contact details are listed below.

I made stickers!

It has been a delight to share with my students the incredible resource of people. Over the years, I’ve had the great privilege of connecting them with inspiring individuals such as Lois Ehlert, Dave Nice, Gregory Martens, Colette Odya Smith, and—as seen in this “Behind the Professor” sketch—Dr. Gaylund Stone. There’s something powerful about the presence of someone who lives their craft with humility and depth. In moments like these, my students are reminded that more is often caught than taught.

Hey! I'm back! Working hard on my outfits, got inspired by some steampunk pirates and decided to try my hand.
