“I see myself as Joseph Gordon Levitt” – the best possible answer to that incredibly awkward question we’re all getting asked far too often.

Omg yes, I need to stop using it as my default every time teachers/family member/random friends of my grandparents ask me about my ***future*** but seriously it’s the only answer I have!!!

I feel like you are inside my head! I love crayons. And I like to give people weird art when I like them, but not everyone understands the red panda. You art is so fun and surprising. Thanks for sharing!
BethanyOctober 11th, 20149:20 AM
Oh this is such a lovely comment!! :’) And yesss I feel u, whenever I say to my friends I’ve got you an awesome present, they’re like ummmm ‘it’s not another watercolour of some kind of weird creature is it???’ And ooh do you have a blog or site for your own art? I’d love to see it! Fangirling over other people’s strange creations is pretty much my favourite thing ever!!!

Wow, love it! The colors are so nice, and each piece seems so…. full. Very expressive. I would love to see more! Is there any other place on the wild wild internet where I could feast my eyes? Thanks for sharing these(:
BethanyOctober 21st, 201410:38 AM
Ahhh these comments are giving me life! Ooh and I do actually-I have a cargo collective site, which is the closest thing to a a grown up human portfolio, it has all my rookie stuff on, as well as some collages and installation thingies, tho I really need to update it!
I also have a generic blog which i guess is my main site, where I shove all my art and writing/keep a journal/make mood boards/take bad outfit pictures etc in:
I checked out your blog also! I love your post on the idea of autumn, it is such an idealistic season! More like a Gilmore Girls rerun than anything else! But I guess that’s why I like it!
