Hey so, I’m probably older than you think. In high school, I remember my friend bragging to me about an invite code he got for this new website, ‘DeviantArt.’ It was this cool new place users could post their art to, make friends, get inspired, so on. Once upon a time, that was a novelty. DA has never been my ‘main’ hub online, but it’s always had a special place in my heart. I’ve been active on this account since 2007. It really sucks they leaned so hard into the antithesis of art and the community that it once fostered. I appreciate all of you who read my comic here. I really, really do— you guys often have some of the best comments and reactions to things. I love it, so thank you. Bare with me, though, because I think this is important.

Happy St. Pádraigs Day! Lil bit of info: Patrick, is the anglicised/colonised version of the name Pádraig! :> Hence why we Irish say Paddy not Patty for anyone wondering!
