TadpoleDraws

Just wanna let you all know that I haven't forgotten about this page, nor have I forgotten about drawing and painting. I frequent this page a lot and I'm so grateful for all of your favorites and comments and it's just way more publicity than I ever thought would come from my artwork! I've had so many medical struggles these past few years and it seems like every time I get my feet under me and like I can almost start drawing again, something else happens, and my life reorients itself once again.

A lot of my artwork was intended to be ~4k desktop background and print-worthy sizes, designed for everyone to enjoy in high quality however they saw fit. Hopefully this NFT craze dies down eventually and I can go back to sharing art in full quality again. I know I haven't posted much in the way of art for

So lemme fill you in on what's been happening with me for the past few months, and hopefully I can explain why I've had an abrupt and and near-complete afk on this account. So if my last drawing didn't clue you in, towards the beginning of May I came to a world-shattering discovery: I'm transgender and bisexual.  So basically at the beginning of the year I went from being a cis hetero dude, to being neither cis, nor hetero, nor a dude, and it's kind of been a bit of a wild rollercoaster.  Now normally this sort of life altering change doesn't affect how much I draw, maybe a delay for a few weeks and then I'm back at it, because honestly draw
