Home Planets 💫

Saw a tiktok turning pride flags into planets.. so I thought I’d try something like that inspired by neurodivergent awareness / flags / symbols. Here’s the outcomes for ADHD & ASD, I quite like it, but it also maybe just gonna end up as another unfinished series ✨ I thought about Tourette’s for future versions.. if anyone has any wishes or something, just say so. Would be happy to have that motivation 😌

At LEAST 5 years ago I was presented with the opportunity to draw some space-themed 'TCG' art for a friend's class project. And every so often I have the urge to draw something stained-glass/art nouveau inspired. So I started with the Sun. And then Saturn.

But then I stopped to think about the 10 or so 40-year-olds that are always--ALWAYS--in the art class. Not the same people mind you. But the same sorts of people. 

So then I drew Uranus. 

I wish I could have been there. 

And now it's 2021. I've realized I'm Ace, I'm NB, and I'm more than I've ever been before. I'm HAPPIER than I was before. So I've decided to continue the Planets. I’ve still got four more left to finish, though.

Happy Solstice, Earthlings! Things have been quiescent here once again (for wonderful reasons! see here & here & here), but we would be remiss in our duties if we did not wish you a Happy Pride this month!
