If you noticed my hiatus its because I moved into a new apartment, got a promotion at work and took on more freelance work than physical time can handle. 🫠 Quick context: I moved my family of 4 from a 1 bed/1 bath place to a 2 bed/3(!) bath space. Triple the square footage.

First task, paint the livingroom walls burgundy

Whelp was going to buy this cozy looking autumn coloring book until I realized it was all AI. Apparently, you can buy these on Nettecom and Amazon, and it's just some company spewing out AI generated coloring books. This was 99 cents at a thrift shop, and I still wouldn't buy it...gross

Autumn themed coloring book filled with AI generated images

One very human experience is going to a party or gathering with a bunch of friends after a traumatic period has passed. Finally, you're laughing until your cheeks hurt, eating until your belly feels like it's going to burst, coming home and crawling into your cozy bed. Life is so weird and awesome.

Okay, this is the first time StickerApp has pissed me off, I've used them for years, but I think it's just the representative being pissy and not listening to me. Not a reflection of StickerApp as a whole. The irony is the sticker we are arguing over is this one below LOL! Girllll, can you not...

sticker design of tulips in a coffe mug surrounded by the words "Girlll Life is Beautiful" The colors are pink, red, yellow, and green.

I mean they inspire me, I can't help to watch them!😊 Best advice for Gen Z and Gen Alpha artists as a Millennial... Use the internet for good and use it to your advantage. Don't create with the intention to capitalize (that shit will burn you out real quick). Create for fun and for YOU.

I got a shiny new fountain pen today and can't stop writing and sketching random stuff. This is proof my adhd needs shiny new stuff to finally do a task I've been trying to push my brain to do for weeks.

I take comfort in knowing if the internet or technology didn't exist, I'm still an artist, and I can still be a creative machine without all of this.

3 tips as an elderly woman at the ripe age of 37: 1. Lather yourself like a slug before bed. You'll wake up with your skin looking like a babies bottom. 2. Wear a mouth guard at night because stress will eventually grind the shit out of your teeth. 3. Walk EVERY DAY movement/vitamin D is vital.

I'm in that zone again where my full-time design job and freelance work is taking over my life, and I loathhhhhhe this period. I ask myself every day why the heck did I turn my love for art into a career, I should have been a teacher or a librarian. Then, I could be creative for fun.

It's official I started the outline for my first illustrated history book! My book is on women who shaped New York State. I'll cover every region of NY. Lil' background: I went to a community college for illustration, I got a BA in graphic design and a BA in history. Time to combine it all!

"In my grandparents' time, it was believed that spirits existed everywhere...in trees, rivers, insects, wells, anything... I like the idea that we should all treasure everything because spirits might exist there, and we should treasure everything because there is a kind of life to everything."

First time with oil pastels, and I'm...OBSESSED. I took this photo of water lilies last year in Upstate NY. Can't wait to start turning all my scenic photos into oil pastel art.

No of course it doesn't make sense to buy a book just because I like the cover and then immediately stick it in a bookshelf forever, but in my defense I'm VERY irresponsible with my money

My red flag is I've never considered myself an attractive person, so when I do feel like I look attractive, I dont know how to act. I do know how to play unattractive me tho Which also had made me miss flirting cues so much! I have NO clue if someone is flirting with me. To me, they're being nice 😊

I started an experiment in January by deleting all my socials except BlueSky. I have YouTube and Pinterest, but they're a search engine to me. The results so far: - More art created than I've ever created before. - Confidence through the roof. - More sales and commsions. - No doom scrolling.

I played school today with my daughter. Good news I got a 100 on the spelling test! But, I had to look up how to multiple 15 by 42. If you're stumped too, this method helped me the most: 15x42=15x(40+2) 15×40=600 15x2=30 630 Math was my worst subject. My best was History and Art.

Found a perfectly good journal with dotted grid paper at the thrift store. The only issue was the cover was an AI image, ewwwww. It's okay, I fixed it with a layer of stickers and post-it note. This is now my messy Brain Dump Journal. Also, it was 50 cents! What a deal.

Journal cover covered in coffee themed stickers designed by me. I taped a post-it note in the middle of it that says, Brain Dump Journal.
