I'm a reclusive vegan artist. I live on pumpkin seeds, spinach, and acorn squash in the Wintertime. I collect pretty rocks. Sometimes I sleep with them at night. Sleeping is a rare and beautiful thing. The most elusive creature I've known.

There are no such things as breaks for me. They're as nonexistent as the perfect painting that satisfies all of my creative needs. My ceiling fan is draped with strings and knick knacks. I can't use it, but I like it that way.

I'm 17 years old, and I've wanted to be an artist since I was 6 or so. I think past me would be proud.

I'm non-confrontational, the opposite of flaky, and easy to work with. I'm determined, and quite frankly, too kind for my own good.

I have a website, ArtBySquids.weebly.com. Visit if you'd like to see the plethora of things I create.
