Hi. I'm Ene and I draw things. Sometimes it's frogs, sometimes it's people, other times it's my every day anxieties. Most of the time, I don't draw at all.

This is my euphoria
If they want to adapt any more delightfully queer web comics into tv series might a suggest
Watched Heartstopper ! And my take is : maybe, love IS real ? ... I don't know
I’m on fire, but I’m trying not to show it. FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
It Is I !
(working on my little digital face)
i think not a single word you write is ever wasted. i think your unfinished stories taught you more than you know, i think your notebook margins are full of doodles and every one of them has meaning, every scrap and perpetual work in progress lives inside your heart. art is not ever “wasted” just because you put effort into something that’s not suitable for mass consumption. there is value inherent in the act of creation!
Reminds me of one of my favorite poems by Jack Gilbert called 'Failing and flying'.
"Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
It's the same when love comes to an end,
or the marriage fails and people say
they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
said it would never work. That she was
old enough to know better. But anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.
Like being there by that summer ocean
on the other side of the island while
love was fading out of her, the stars
burning so extravagantly those nights that
anyone could tell you they would never last.
Every morning she was asleep in my bed
like a visitation, the gentleness in her
like antelope standing in the dawn mist.
Each afternoon I watched her coming back
through the hot stony field after swimming,
the sea light behind her and the huge sky
on the other side of that. Listened to her
while we ate lunch. How can they say
the marriage failed? Like the people who
came back from Provence (when it was Provence)
and said it was pretty but the food was greasy.
I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
but just coming to the end of his triumph."
I think everyone should remember that : anything worth doing is worth doing badly
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.
The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
Playing the monthly game : "Menstruation or Depression"!!!
Hadn't seen this over on tumblr yet. Thieving artist alert:
(Note I am not OP) Just sharing along form my ofmd peeps.
Tuning Out the World
Honestly, I hate the fact that I can't seem to be able to color properly. It's truly bothering me. When I see other people's artwork and process it seems so clear-cut, but when I do it, it's just so hazardous and ultimately shit. It keeps me from doing the pieces I wanna do, so fucking frustrating...
Feeling my master's thesis deadline looming oh so very menacingly
i love when tragedies are like “the love was there. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the love was there”

I am watching the gay pirate show, and I am trying very hard not to let it take over my life, but like Sisyphus, it's a task I attempt knowing I will fail
Yours truly !
Autoportrait procrastination.

Had a great day today !
Wore some snazzy pants, bought a puzzle and a new board game, got matcha latte with a friend, ate a pecan and chocolate cookie and cherry on top : got some excellent news for the future !! 🍀✨
When I walked through the park yesterday morning I looked up at the surrounding buildings and in the shadows of the sun, against the blue sky, the man working on the roof there looked like a seated Sphinx.
Vex and Vax from Vox Machina baby !
(Look ! I don't know how to color this ??? Thankfully, I really like the line art and I want to draw something else now)
