I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭
$1 for your first month a prevents your profile from being impersonated and people are able to find you when they search$3.29 for your first month means ppl can find you in the search feature and you get a sticker$10 for your first month means you get to be in the search feature, can add links to reels and custom chats$33.49 for your first month means you are special so we promote you

Made grilled cheese yesterday that cut my mouth up so bad that today's is a microwave-cheese sandwich instead... and I think this may be a superior sandwich. Soft, fluffy, chewy and gooey.

Taddoo from a while ago. A tandem session between @dwam.bsky.social and I. It's a collab flash design as well.

I've now taken to calling the space where my uterus used to be "my void", which feels very Janet from Good Place even though that's not what I was thinking when I came up with it.

I paid for a snack with cash and then the gen Z cashier reaches toward me with a fist bump. I stare in confusion, thinking maybe he's being cute because he knows it's my bday (I got my free bday drink at the same time). Finally, I realize he's trying to hand me my change 💀

You forget your phone in the house (yet again) and are about to go get it when your partner discovers it in her own pocket. You put it away only to pull it out seconds later and exclaim "oh here's my phone!" as if the last two steps didn't just occur.

Watched Frankenstein and, as everyone said, it was fantastic. I keep thinking about the scene where Victor is having his little existential crisis yet is being objectified by the camera. It's like a nod to all the times women characters in films made by straight men have breakdowns sexily 😆

My laptop is too old to update anymore, and everything I read about *new things* is frightening. I'll use my unsupported Chrome browser, which is the only browser left that I can use, until the bitter end. Maybe I'll just stop using a computer after this.

Montreal, you are lovely!
View from my hotel downtown that captures the pink and blue clouds at sunset over Mont Royal and an urban cityscape.Another angle of my view from the hotel. The sun sits behind a glass condo building, illuminating the street to the left and the hazy sky to the right. The reflection of the hotel and blue sky in the sunlight can be seen on the glass condo front.Le Plateau Neighborhood buildings with a bright red modern Art sculpture in the foreground. The trees have lost their leaves but there are some green bushes. The buildings have staircases up to their front doors, and each has a unique design window and various colors - reds, Browns, black and grey - on their frontage.The Redpath museum interior, perhaps in the Victorian style, with sunlight shining onto the hardwood floors in patterns cast from the decorative openings in the handrails.

My partner is really getting into art now that she's tried oil pastels. After struggling through a painting that ended up turning out well, she commented how difficult art is; that a piece will be ugly until suddenly it's not, and somehow you have to keep going. She's an earthquake engineering!

My dog got 2 dinners last night because she feigned starvation when I came home and my girlfriend had already gone out. I should have known better, but my mind always jumps to the worst case scenario - like what if she didn't eat anything and a mysterious deadly illness takes her because of it.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

I was telling someone recently that there was a cable tv channel that would show completely uncensored plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures in the middle of the afternoon, no content warnings or anything. I loved it as a kid! It seems unthinkable now.

Took myself to the Museum of Anthropology to do research and, of course, I'm in awe of Indigenous knowledge and craftsmanship. The new exhibitions convey tons of context and it made the experience even more incredible.

I had a whole idea for a summer artist residency come to me last night in a Benadryl-fueled fugue. The residency will be in my own studio (ha!) but treating my space like it's a temporary residency will help me stay focused (if it's anything like my last residency). I'm starting today!

I was sent a healed photo of this pixiu that I tattooed last month-ish and I'm so happy about it. The forest fire smoke really created the perfect diffused light 🙃
A pixiu tattoo that fills the upper outside of a right arm. The pixiu is a Chinese mythological female creature that has a dragon head, lion body and bird wings. This design was based off of jade statues and so has a more angular look to it than my usual art, which I really enjoy. Grey clouds float in the background.

I love this neighbourhood
A photo of a flyer stapled to a pole purporting to advertise Bandit (R) Organic Raccoon Milk. There’s a logo of a raccoon face and a photo of a female raccoon lounging on a deck with very visible nipples like she’s just had or is about to have young. There’s a cartoon raccoon with a baby bottle. Text reads in all caps:

Bandit Brand Raccoon Milk offers many benefits that other milk alternatives don’t 

-stronger digestion and ability to eat almost anything 
-stronger immune system 
-increased athleticism and ability to climb
-stronger nails/claws
-stronger sharper teeth 
-wide variety of flavours depending on what trash has been consumed 


Ask for it by name at your local grocer

I was chatting with someone and expressing my sadness at watching another artist stop making art; how it really feels like the world is losing something important. I realized I could probably apply this to myself, as someone who is on the verge of stopping.

Tiger chimera. Love the unusual placement of this one - when you have short arms but want to go big. The heads sit high enough that they don't distort when the elbow bends.
A tattoo on an outer arm of a chimera with 2 Tiger heads and one human head. The tiger body stretches from wrist to the elbow, with the heads sitting just above the elbow crease. The chimera reaches out with one delicate human hand. Curling clouds sit in the background, adding more flow to the design.
