The people at Lifetime pitching a movie - Okay, our next film is kinda like "Saw", but instead of adults it's kids and we're swapping out Jigsaw with their mother. Dark, we know, but it will end with an upbeat court hearing.

I miss the old Internet. I miss sharing my life with friends on Instagram. I hate trying to be a brand. I wanna be a person. I wanna see your breakfast and I wanna post pictures of flowers and my shoes.

I hate the phrases "Girl Dad" and "Boy Mom." I just don't feel the gender of your child should dictate how you parent or your experience of being a parent. Everyone is different and we shouldn't box in people's self expression or life experience based on gender.

Here in Renton, WA, we have the Dragons Landing Festival coming up. A local art group takes submissions for their booth from local artist. This little guy will be my entry. Wish me luck 🤞 #gouache #dragon #illustration

I wish there was a stronger connection between communities who like to sew and those who like to create surface pattern designs. I want to know what kinds of designs sewists want to use in their art. I want to work collaboratively with y'all. #sewing #surfacepatterndesign #collaborativeart

'One Battle After Another' gets to share a spread with the Philadelphia Zoo. I don't always immediately get to drawing sketch after watching a movie in theaters. Most of the time I paste the ticket in my sketchbook and then come back to it later. I'll eventually catch up. #sketchbook #bskyart

Sketchbook spread from our visit to the Philadelphia Zoo featuring a lemur and the other page is an illustrated scene from the movie 'One Battle After Another' where Leonardo DiCaprio is anger on a payphone.

The downside to thermal paper is that it doesn't last, they usually fade. I still like saving movie tickets, anyway. Elio was cute. Not the most memorable, but I don't recall hating it. [ #sketchbook #illustrator #bskyart ]

Last summer we visited Seattle to see if we wanted to move here, and now we do! I did this page in my strawberry themed sketchbook after our visit. I was inspired by all the 'hot rat summer' art I saw around town. #seattle #sketchbook

Part of my senior thesis at MICA was designing a real product, so I made these fabric wristlets using kewpie-inspired prints I designed. They’re some of my favorite patterns I made last year, and they’re now up in my Spoonflower shop. www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/20...

Sinners (2025). For some reason, I didnt get a printed ticket for this one, which is just as well seeing how the thermal paper doesn't last anyway. Fantastic movie! #watercolor #sketchbook #sinners

Y'all need to cool it with all this "theory" talk. The word you're looking for is analogy. It's not an "Apple Theory" or a "Porcupine Theory." What y'all are describing are analogies. We've already abused the hell out of the words hack and literally, let's leave theory alone.

We lost our little baby man on Friday. It was sudden, his health declined rapidly. We could see he was miserable. We took him to the vet and they said his kidneys were failing, possibly due to cancer, and that he was unlikely to survive. We made the decision to let him go.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
