How much highlighter can I get away with on my face to cover the fact that I’m crashing out 🫠

I really enjoy creating ads for the businesses I work with that want an ad in the zine. It’s a free offering- and helps prevent AI slop graphics. As Kenozia will never put AI in our zine. Fuck AI. Anyways, here’s a picture of me taking a product photo for an upcoming ad in the next issue.

A photo of me on a step stool taking a photo of a tea set up for Southport Tea for an upcoming full page ad in the next issue of Kenozia.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of us carry tote bags full of books from our independent bookstore or public library. The weight threatens to crush us, but we persevere.

Fellow artists and writers: what do you do to make passive income that works for you? My goal for 2027 is to be able to work for myself. And I know my zine won’t fully cover that. Thanks in advance!!

Say you read one book a month. If you buy the book at your indie, it might cost a few more dollars than from a megaretailer. Now imagine if 9 more people in your community made that switch. What may feel like a small thing is often actually big, especially when we work together 💓

Finally got to see my own section at the Southwest branch of the Kenosha Public Library. Look at that. Kenozia at a place I used to go to all the time growing up after school. Feels surreal.

A photo of the magazine display racks. You can see the Kenozia section down one and to the left.

A close up of the Kenozia section at the library. Looks like the summer issue has been checked out. 😎

Danny’s been dealing with Pancreatitis for almost a week now. He’s in a lot of pain. Doctor said lots of rest and liquids. But there’s gotta be something that helps?Anyone deal with this before, suggestions? He’s supposed to do a small film screening in Baraboo, WI tomorrow- would hate to cancel.

Finished this pet commission today. It’s not quite perfect, but I think he turned out pretty cute. Hope the owner likes it. 🖤 See original photo I worked off of and final painting below 👇 #acrylicpainting

Photo of Loki, a black lab I believe, standing on a deck and looking at the camera

A photo of my hand holding the finished painting of the first photo. There is a nice varnish on top of the painting that makes it kind of shiny. I don’t normally paint animals so i wouldn’t say this is my forte.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Got the stooges their first collars. 😭 they’re just so cute. #kittens

Curly is in a blue plaid bow tie, Larry is in an orange plaid bow tie, and Moe is in the green plain bow tie. They are all eating their food as that’s the only way I could get a picture of all 3 in one photo.

I need both.

Starting a medication for my ADHD today and I’m kinda nervous about it. I hope it helps but I also want to stay me. Also, i was told I had to severely cut down my coffee intake as I drink about a half pot of coffee a day and they want me down to less than a cup. 😩 Hope it’s worth it.

Things I was diagnosed with later in my life that I wish I knew growing up: 1. Chronic anxiety- age 26. I thought everyone was handling their anxiety better than me. 2. ADHD- age 34. I thought everyone’s brain worked like mine and masking was normal. 3. OCD & Autism spectrum- 2 months ago, age 37.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

I’m in the acknowledgment page 😭😭😭😭 omg. I’m so honored to even know Brighton and look at this, I made her write book 5 in this series and I’m not mad about it. If you love contemporary, spicy, romances, you need to know Brighton Walsh and buy her books 🖤

A screenshot of the acknowledgment page that says, For Sarah who said, “I thought there were five brothers?” turns out you were right.

It also says- and to the person I saw wearing the eat out your girl or I will shirt. Thank you for catapulting a fully-formed Maverick into my head.

I wonder how much is the thought process: -Most artists can't support themselves on art alone -"Being an artist" is therefore a dream people grow out of -Therefore artists are people who refused to grow up -Therefore artists are naive With a dash of "I gave up my childhood dream, so sour grapes"

Also you'll never get better at art if you just give up and let a computer do it for you. Don't forget the immortal words of Jake the Dog:
