Introducing “Home Is Where Your Head’s At” :-)
Starting a new sketchbook as we leave the summer and head into the autumn again… with things like Halloween and Samhuinn rearing their heads it’s liable to sway what goes on here as it always does!
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

Mixed media on toned tan paper.
Starting next week, I'm going back to college. I'm very excited for my courses, especially art & writing. It will be a great opportunity to explore my curiosities, improve my art skills, and grow as a person. I will share my art assignments if my instructors allow it. I would also like to write a little about each piece, which may be required for my assignments anyway.
Lately, I've been inspired by fantasy & fairytale artwork. I think fantasy & horror will make good focuses for my pre-BFA portfolio. This was a little experiment with a fairytale aesthetic. One of my goals is to use limited art supply sets & swap out colours as they run out. I feel the first colours I picked out fit with aesthetic well.
I'm proud of this drawing, especially the dress & the night sky. However, I can see some areas that I should've done differently. I'm not happy with the proportions & foreshortening of the limbs. Also, I shouldn't have used a background colour for the flowers. I added the colour to cover up a smear from the watercolour. I should avoid making large areas of solid colour, especially with my coloured pencils. I am learning & improving.
