I wish I had time to paint more often. Working on this was such a joy.

Oh.my.gosh...I won @jdawson001.bsky.social 's giveaway and expected 1 or 2 books. Instead, I got a care package that will get me through winter and then some 💜 This made my day. Really excited to get started on Murderbot. Thank you!!! You're too kind, Jennifer!

I had to change my fun plans because my body and mind weren't cooperating. Went for lunch and a walk instead with @maartnboot.bsky.social, who has the patience of an angel.

"Former HarperCollins employees alleged they were told to work with David Walliams, 54, in “pairs” and were advised not to visit his home." It makes me so angry how common this is. Experienced it first hand, being told "not to be alone with _" and seeing how that celeb is protected by the industry.

Changed a MtG Thrummingbird into a thrummingfrog for my frog deck. Such a chill dude. #mtg #alter #art

I have a Commander deck entirely made of frogs, except for a few essential cards. So my plan is to alter and frogify them 🐸 First up: Thrummingbird! #mtg #alter #art

A frog is chilling in a pond with its eyes closed. His croak makes ripples in the water. Pencil sketch

The switch to work AND rainy weather is rough for me. But then there are Orri tangerines and the countdown to Halloween keeping my spirits up.

I was about to reboot my shop with new prints and paintings. But then the import tariffs happened, and yesterday the #PPWR regulations. Throw in some exploitative AI on top of that...it's so f'ing bleak for artists. So my shop's closed until further notice 💔

Mental stability? In this economy? Dolphin and stars.

I also dabble in sewing. I needed shorts for the summer. It took me all day, but now I have shorts in beautiful blue linen that fit perfectly.

So happy how this is turning out. Get ready for my first MtG token 😍

I'm back from vacation, missing the beach already. But I'm also very much looking forward to painting, sewing, and baking for the next two weeks. Creativity is pouring out now that I finally have some free time.

Had to channel the sadness into something, so I made a weird game mockup :)

A pixel art mockup of a weird text-based / point-n-click game idea based on the Jurassic Park character Alan Grant, called Alan's Dream. On the left there's an inventory containing a velociraptor claw, broken eggs, a map, a pocket knife and two flares. In the middle there's the title 'Alan's Dream' and a screen with illustrations depicting Alan, holding a raptor claw, and a velociraptor saying "Alan, wake up!". Underneath there's some text: The velociraptor calls out your name. You have the feeling you've been here before. What would you like to do? 1. talk 2. use item 3. ignore. On the right border there are some decorative leaves and branches and maaaybe a hidden little critter (it's a snake, a sneaky little snake curled around a branch). In the bottom right there's a floppy disc save icon and a settings icon.

Still obsessed with Aunty Gladys, so of course I'll paint an MtG alter with her glorious face. Now I have to decide which card to pick.... #mtg #alter #horror

I've received the books 🥰 The first book starts with a few chapters of context about the writer and French politics in the 19th century and I'm so glad they did. It really helps to understand why someone would start such an elaborate hoax lasting 12 years 🫣 prank of the century!
