On Being a Mother and an Artist

On Being a Mother and an Artist

Once upon a time I had a cute little studio/box room in our house. When our little baby came along, I kept it for a while, but when it was time for baby to have his own room I was shipped out to the garage to paint between the beer fridge and lawn mower (sob). Seriously though, I have tried so hard to keep going with my painting - even buying a nice big playpen to put next to my easel (see below!) because obviously baby was going to be absolutely fine playing next to me while I painted, not needing me at all...

It's really, really tricky to juggle motherhood and art. To be honest, the last thing I felt like doing in the sleep deprived first ten months (yes, ten!!) was putting paint to canvas. Even getting dressed felt like an effort. The best times I found to draw were when he was sleeping...but he has only just started sleeping in his cot (at 13 months). Before that I pushed the pram back and forth with one hand and drew with the other.

This blog is going to be about how I juggle my beloved little being and the relentless pull to create.

If not for the timely intervention of the smart contract audit engineers at American forensic firm TheHackersPro, I would have lost over 650 BTC to a fake airdrop posed as an Arbitrum-related site. After sharing transaction evidence with their team and Vladimir Kolarov, we identified the scam using Arbitrum’s logos and graphics. This scam looks convincing, especially given the legitimate airdrops of ARB tokens by the Arbitrum Foundation. It’s important to emphasize that this scam is not associated with the Arbitrum Orbit platform, Arbitrum Foundation, or any Arbitrum services. Promoted on the 2024arb[.]xyz page, it might also appear on other sites. Users are prompted to connect their digital wallets, risking exposure to a cryptocurrency-draining script that transfers funds to the scammers’ wallets. These transactions can be unclear and often go unnoticed—I discovered mine almost 10 hours later. Thankfully, I recovered 402 BTC into my Exodus wallet and am awaiting the Ethereum gas fee to retrieve the rest into my Coinbase. If your funds are missing without explanation, this might be what happened to you. I recommend contacting TheHackersPro’s smart contract experts at hack@thehackerspro.com or their 24/7 Telegram support at +1 971 915 6664 immediately. This information could be invaluable to someone.

I agreed to the idea of a rapid money making scheme because I wanted to break the chain and I wanted my family and mother to have a happy life, and I’m telling you this because the Bitcoin investment plan is a fast money making Ponzi and a scam.
