More Pink Milky Way, Please

I walked into the neon shop, saw this pink squiggle, and immediately had to have it. No overthinking. It just made me happy.

Somewhere along the way, we learn to second-guess the things we love. Is it too bright? Too much? Too unserious? For a while, I did that with my work too, thinking being a serious artist meant editing out some of the things that came most naturally to me.

Maybe growing into yourself is really just getting back to the things you liked before you learned to question them.
