Meet Lark

.

Lark is a thirty year old self-taught artist living with their partner and two furry children in Ohio, US. Lark is an autistic introvert with a brain full of people. How they perceive the world and their personal identity is heavily impacted by their mental disorders and neurodivergence, and they use the labels genderqueer and transmasculine to best describe themselves. He uses he/they pronouns!Lark primarily draws art of their original characters and stories, mainly The Verses, as well as their partner’s characters. He also enjoys drawing for his friends and mutuals when he can! Besides creating art and stories, Lark codes and gardens as a hobby, enjoys cooking, collects vinyl records and thrifts, researches history, the natural world, theology, and outer space, likes watching old films and shows, especially of the horror and supernatural varieties, and loves art nouveau, art deco, medieval gothic, Victorian gothic, baroque, high fantasy and sci-fi (of many varieties.)

New Lewk

September 30 2025
.

Updated my website's leeeewwk. I really like the bluuuuue. I'm sure it'll change again but for now I'm satisfied with it!Also really like this temporary banner I slapped together for my social medias where I can have a banner:

It's actually a lot bigger than shown here but I didn't want it to take up half the page, lol.

Plans, plans, plans

September 29 2025
.

Lots has happened in my life since my last blog post. For one, our mom died a few months ago. This blog post is the first time anything about it has been said anywhere online besides in private to close friends. It's not something we really want to talk about with anyone but those we've already spoken to so I'd appreciate no messages about it if you're reading this and didn't know. There's still a lot of stuff to work through, so much there was never any closure on, and so, so much she's not going to be there for in life— not just in my life but also in my siblings. It's... a lot.There is positive stuff that happened this year but I'm most excited about the positive stuff being planned and coming in 2026! A lot of things have started being planned. Finally decided on a career path and I'm going to school for the first time. What I'm going for is UX design and then after that plan to also get UI as well! The two complement each other a lot. My goal is by this time next year I'll either be entering the job market with an original portfolio or already have landed a job! I intend to do some freelance work as well during schooling for it to build my portfolio while also my regular day job... haha, it's going to be a bit rough sometimes. Fingers crossed my current job will work with me and maybe let me do 4-40s or part time for school (or even pay for the tuition, because they do offer that.)Other stuff that's planned is 4 vacations in 2026. One of them would be to see my family and friends living in Texas, and I'm really looking forward to it! Then there's an anime convention, a concert, and a trip to the beach planned as well. It's going to be a busy year, but it being so busy and planned out will be nice. The world is so very uncertain and dark right now and feeling like my loved ones and I are safe in it is something I'm struggling with a lot lately.

Little Ramble

April 4 2025
.

Sooooo, 2025 has gotten off to a slow start for us with art and anything creative related, whoops. Burn out came for the throat shortly after January began, and personal life stuff has just been non-stop happening. Our partner and us are okay, but people around us we care about are having a time of it.(Also can’t forget the state of the world right now and what’s happening in the US, haha. Hah. I hate it here. Remember to check in with your friends and acquaintances that are a part of a vulnerable group, and keep yourself safe as you can.)Still working on things slowly here and there, and we’re definitely not as involved on social media as we used to be. This was already slowly happening over the course of 2024 and gotta say, it’s very refreshing not being so attached and constantly “on” online! Focusing on our life offline and building it has been really nice and rewarding, and it’s an experience we didn’t have a possibility of having until moving out.Anyways, just a tiny blog update, more of a ramble than anything.

Onwards to 2025! (Goals, rambles, and more…)

January 1 2025
.

Happy new years!
The last half of 2024 wasn’t very strong art wise I feel. Between my job, family emergencies, and how there’s so many damn holidays packed in at the end of the year, I’ve just not had time to devote as much to art or creative endeavors as much as I would have liked. I did finally start work on re-organizing and redoing my toyhouse though! It’s not finished yet but hey, it’s a start!In 2025 these are my goals:

  • Primary focus on art of my original character’s over gifts!

  • My sub-goal is to create one rendered piece of art per month!

  • I have a grace period for the month of January to finish gifts I’ve already been working on for the end of 2024, and then I have to LOCK IN to art for myself!

  • Worldbuilding and character development for Verses of Eternity

  • Fill out character profiles on toyhouse (likely going to be the hardest goal knowing me lol!)

  • Finish those lore reworks, Lark! (shakes fist at myself)

  • Worldbuild areas of VoE that aren’t as developed as others

  • More focus on developing the world and characters of Geria in general

  • Commission other artists way more!

  • I want — I NEED — more art of my OCs, haha! So please do share your favorite artists to commission or advertise yourself to me! I won’t be commissioning anyone right this second but I want to build up a list of artists to keep in mind for commissioning this year.

  • Start and maintain a workout routine

  • Save money for a future house

  • Enjoy life with my partner

.

Here’s to 2025 and it being a better year in whatever way it can be for not only myself but everyone else too!

Straw.Page!

October 18 2024
.

I created a straw.page! It’s pretty barebones right now, I need to make it prettier later, but I made one because you can do anon asks with them but also people can draw and send little doodles! Sending doodles is anonymous too but if you send me one and want me to know who you are then include your username on your main social media. Oh, and if you want me to share the doodle on my socials then add a little green checkmark to a corner somewhere on the doodle.

Checking-in

September 23 2024

Been a hot minute since a new blog post was made oops! My new job has kept me busy. I’m liking it and my coworkers so far, and my bosses too.I’m still working on art but things are definitely slower. I did finish something recently tho and it can be found in my gallery! It’s art of Camilla, who like almost all my ocs is heavily neglected in terms of art lmao. (Some of the brain is just very greedy to focus on very specific OCs. I am judging that part very hard (lovingly of course but also… squints))I also commissioned a friend recently for art of Sophia; Ivan’s daughter! I’m really excited, and I can’t wait to comm more of my friends and moots, and just other artists in gen! I couldn’t go crazy with it tho and commission a ton right away since there are somethings that need to be taken care of with our car first before winter hits.Anyways, I’d show some wips of what I’m working on art wise but there’s a high chance if I do that then I’ll be even slower to finish them lol. One of the things tho is going to be turned into a physical object since we can afford to mess around with that now hehe. Also excited about that! Oh! And some new clothes were bought recently. Just some comfy stuff to wear to work!Think that’s it for this little update to the blog. Thanks for reading!

Recovering from Covid

August 24 2024
.

I became ill with Covid shortly after my last blog entry and have been down for the count since. Thankfully I’m now in recovery for it and am just left with the aftermath as I’m no longer contagious or experiencing fevers. This would be my second time getting Covid and I’m very thankful it was not as severe as the first time. The first time I had it was so, so awful. I was either unconscious or delirious from fever with that one, no inbetween. While I’ve had the high fevers again with this round of Covid they haven’t lasted as long and I’m able to stay awake a lot more. My sinuses and eyes have been mimicking having an episode of allergies from hell though this time.Remember to keep masking and wash your hands always.

New logo!

August 19 2024
.

I designed a new logo (and watermark) for myself! I’m pretty pleased with it and can’t wait to slap it onto my art going forward. I’ll be using a black and white version (shown further below) with my website name on it for art watermarking, and the readability tests I did on some previously finished art really looked good.I’ve always liked the kind of big square (or just big image) watermarks I’d see a lot of my art idols growing up use way back on DeviantArt, so it’s exciting to have one of my own! I may eventually have to redo it on a different art program, since as far as I could look up CSP doesn’t do vector layers in the same way photoshop or other programs can/do.

The Blog LIVES! + Life updates & misc

August 09 2024
.

Hello! Finally finished the first version of a blog section for my site— I say first as this will likely evolve in appearance and setup as my site does— and what better first entry than about finishing this + updates in my life! I admit journaling like this is not something I’m used to anymore. I used to do it all the time as a kid and teenager but started to do it less and less as I went through my young adult years. Hoping to revive that journal writing bug in myself!In terms of life news, I got the job I wanted and I’m so very excited! It fits perfectly with my partner’s established schedule and it is at the same location, which will make our lives easier in terms of carpooling and planning. It’s a desk job and it’s not sales or a call center either! Most desk jobs I see nowadays are either one or both of those things, and although I will use the phone often in my department it’s in a different capacity. Now that I have consistent and steady full time job, I have also closed my commissions as I really do not want to spend my free time off work doing a secondary job unless absolutely needed. I’m sorry to anyone who potentially wanted to commission me! The future is not set in stone so perhaps one day I will reopen them in a limited capacity.Update #1: I am using tellonym for Q&A’s and my ask box link has been updated accordingly. With retrospring scheduled to close in 2025 I decided I might as well make a move to a new platform with a similar function now instead of wait. I am going to miss retrospring though. It’s been my favorite for Q&A style platforms. Eventually I want to have my own Q&A set-up without using another platform beyond whatever is hosting my website, but that is lower on my list of priorities at the moment.Update #2: I’m making use of my notion to put together an info hub for my OU, Verses of Eternity! Not sure when it’ll be in a state where I feel comfortable sharing it. Although I’m doing this that doesn’t mean I won’t be using my toyhouse still and also have info stored on there. My toyhouse is just a mess right now and I haven’t had the energy for fixing the coding up, so that’s a project I want to tackle after I’ve done a lot of the writing and info gathering work I need to do on VoE.
