about me

gar + friend = garfriend. like girlfriend

Hello! I'm garfriend aka Izzy, getbogged, or boggie. I am 25 and living in Minnesota. I enjoy gardening, crocheting, drawing, and wandering. I live off of coffee, herbal teas, and Zack's Mighty chile lime chips. You can find me taking pictures of small things with my 2011 FinePix, chasing lightning, or losing my balance trying to look at things in the night sky.

Materials I use, like my cameras, can be found at: materials.

I graduated college with a BFA in Illustration and Arts Entrepreneurship, and I occasionally work on freelance illustration projects. I'm completely new to coding (if it wasn't obvious), and I have been having so much fun with it! To support myself and my hobbies, I keep a "day job" bartending for an event space.

I am all about small, strange critters and things that often go overlooked. Things like bugs, lichen, slugs, etc. I'm currently all about freshwater fish, meteorology, and veggie gardens. I also have an unbreakable obsession with the Subaru Baja.

Below is my current piercing setup:

♥ ear lobes (idk it was when I was an infant); now stretched to 9MM

♥ helix (2015)

♥ vertical labret (2018)

♥ septum (2019)

♥ nostrils; one on each side w/ chain across (2024)
