Whoever lived in this house and straight up just painted over spilled candle wax...if I ever find you, I will fight you.

A light blue wall with a beige colour exposed around an electrical outlet. Where the beige is exposed is where paint scraped off BECAUSE THERE WAS CANDLE WAX UNDERNEATH.

Still not done...but we're almost there. Something about this painting really feels like an energy that is not quite my own. A break through, a muse, inspiration, something flowing through me. The lighting in this photo is bad because I need better studio lights, but god damn I feel alive.

So I did great and it was fun, but also I learned bingo is pure anxiety and rage. I never wish to play it for real.

Sometimes Aphantasia is weird and I can't notice my progress on paintings so I have to take photos to remind myself of the work I've done. I thought I barely did anything today. I was very wrong. #WIP #watercolour

Two Raturdays in a row! Specifically cause I forgot that yesterday wasn't Saturday, but also these two belong together. Milo is one of the funniest and hardest working people I know. They have an incredible passion for community and all nerdly passions. I miss them deeply. #Raturday #Art #Posca

Did you think #Raturday was over? WRONG I just have ADHD! This is a celebration of a queer community icon and friend @thebarton! How many flags can you identify on the bookshelves? Also are the cats small or the rats big? We may never know!

So our toilet is malfunctioning in the main upstairs bathroom. We thought, well before we replace it might as well remove the floor they put in to cover the tile. EXCUSE ME IT'S THE SAME. WHY WOULD YOU COVER ONE WITH THE OTHER?
