This piece is not a normal one that I enjoy doing. It's an exercise on personifying a part of my anxiety. #horrorart #drawing #mentalhealthmatters

While practicing digitizing my art for the first time, I scanned this #wip for a surprise for a friend. Can anyone tell me what the scarf says? 😅 #什么 #catdrawing #catart #cat

Learned how to digitize my art today. With the book archival quality scanner at my local public library. For free. Public libraries rule 🫶 #catart #publiclibrary

No seriously, got a tip from another artist at that art market about using the public library scanner to digitize art because if I know anything about my ADHD, I'll create something, sell it, and then ✨poor✨ it never existed 😭

I'm frantically rallying for the art market I'm in tomorrow and this little girl is an impossibly adorable distraction, intentionally of course 😮‍💨😭 #cat

@ashripley.bsky.social this could be us but we are unfortunately composed of more than just lines. Like losers 😭

I need everyone to stop having #cats #art and #plants for just a couple hours today. I need to get some work done 😭

There was an accident, had to do an emergency amputation but I'm hopeful the patient will survive... And propagate. #houseplants

I do things other than letting my cats zap my motivation. Things like doing my nails, and running the spotlight for a play my son is in.

I don't know, that mushroom was pretty charismatic 🤔

I don't have this friend on here so I can post this #wip without her knowing because it's a surprise 🫢

Nothing is more important than home renovations when I need to be focused on art creations for an impending market at the end of the month. My neck hurts 😭 #artist I swear

Willing to give a pre-owned kidney to get a heated greenhouse. Just don't ask where the kidney came from.

@ashripley.bsky.social this could be us. But you don't want to be a cat with me. 😢

Happy N7 Day! BioWare says they’re ‘heads-down and focused exclusively on Mass Effect.’ Same. I’ve been heads-down and focused exclusively on Mass Effect since 2007. My family is concerned. #N7Day #MassEffect #RollForInsight blog.bioware.com/2025/11/07/n...

Happy N7 Day, everyone! You guessed it … I come to you with another blog! But each year that I write these, they are important moments of reflection for me. I get to pause and think about how truly…

This one time over the summer I learned how to become a professional fly rig worker for a community play my son was starring in. New level for character development and trauma at the same time!

I was just thinking about Psycho Goreman and how sometimes the line between a horror movie and a family movie is just how sincerely someone says "You're welcome."

I watched the first episode of Season 8 of Rick and Morty and somehow ended up writing 1,700 words about leadership. "The Summer of All Fears" turned out to be a goldmine of lessons--from startup cults to bad mentorship. Full post: rollforinsight.net/blog/what-ri...

I was reading a leadership paper and realized it was describing "Batman Forever." This shouldn't be my niche, and yet here we are. New post: "Authentic Leadership, as Illustrated by a Billionaire in a Rubber Suit" rollforinsight.net/blog/authent...
