You ever know those people whose mental filter on what should and should not be said just doesn’t work quite right? – – – – – I have a piece of additional Selkie art to share today! I am doing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Up until now, with the exception of Todd we’ve only seen Selkie interact with people who were already accustomed to her (the kids and caretakers at the orphanage). Even Todd was a little weirded out when he first saw her.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
