A belated update: I've started a postdoc at the Department of Political Science @au.dk ! I'll be working with Jakob Tolstrup and Alexander Baturo on the personalization of power in contemporary autocracies. After 4 wonderful years @ucdpolitics.bsky.social, I'm looking forward to this next chapter!

I think draw overs are one of the cutest personalization an artist can do. Like the fact that you can just slap a draw over on a selfie or onto a picture of your taken in any place is sick as fuck!
I'd have done it all the time if I could draw that's for sure
