actually if a company advertised to me that they don't use any generative ai I would be 1000% more likely to buy/use their product

I wish I had more time with this before the sun set. I like the shapes that were happening. #acrylic

I brought a bouquet home from work yesterday.

This Chie Katayama magnet has been on my fridge since 2016, the color has changed a bit.

I continue to paint pictures of cats drawn by other people. Also included: a small whale shark with purple ribbon, greeting card from Alyse, gold bee magnet, a handwritten note reminding me of how much water to use in the rice cooker written on stationary by Niniwanted.

I think this guy's done. I'll be a little sad when the tape comes off, I've become fond of the working edge. #acrylic

A cat gazes out from the plate it inhabits. Its expression, created in another time and another place by another artist, unchanging, in extreme contrast to the world beyond. And some other things I bought on my recent trip to Japan.

The downside of a clean(ish) apartment is a relative lack of interesting clutter. Please: two discarded lunch bags before being folded and placed back in their home in the silverware drawer. #art #acrylic

Two Baby Baggu stacked unceremonious on a reflective surface.

I wrote you a poem this morning.

Everything is Terrible So Here’s a Picture of a Tree

Everything is terrible so here’s a picture of a tree
here’s a picture of a cat
I’m sorry for sending you a picture of a cat when everything is terrible
No, don’t be, please
I want the pictures of cats
of trees
Maybe it’s me who’s irresponsible, wanting those pictures of trees
of cats
when everything is so terrible
No, it’s not
It’s not irresponsible to want to remember the fragility of a leaf
and its power too
the way it buds and grows and changes color and falls. The way it feeds some and shelters others, all while powering something mighty, with such deep roots
It’s not irresponsible to want to look at soft warm fur, and imagine pressing your face into that softness, or to contemplate the miracle of toes spread wide in pleasure, or smile at some small naughtiness captured in pixels
You send me these things because you love me.
And I send them to you because I love you
yes, even if I don’t know you
I am sending you this picture of a tree, this picture of a cat, because I love you and I want you to know that you are loved enough for me to want you to remember trees
and to remember cats
even when it feels wrong to do so.
Let us both remember that trees have roots that dig into the earth
and branches that reach to the sky
even on the worst days.
And cats—
cats especially—
for they are famous for enjoying the soft caress of a friend one moment
and turning into a ferocious ball of claws and teeth and bristling fur and indignation the next
as must we.
So send me your pictures of cats
of trees
And let us both save our apologies for what we cannot do
instead of what we can.

Dad brought me oranges and Girl Scout cookies.

Eight small oranges in a green plastic shopping bag rendered quickly, lovingly in the retreating sunlight.

I caught the tail end of the light today just before the sun went down and was able to paint for 30min. I want to be better at painting light and shadows. I have a long way to go 😂 #art #acrylic

Orange Miffy and Hiyatan in a plastic bowl, my go-to painting subject because the shapes are good and ひやひや is the vibe.

“I don’t want to do anything today. There are days like that.” Pokantotan is the most relatable mascot character.

I have recently become aware of the 1981 album A Long Vacation by Eiichi Ohtaki, and I love it.

That's everything. We're caught up. Only new things now.

And in an effort to be looser, here's a stack of books and a box of pastels sitting under a trivet. I love these, i love where this is going.

@ryremi.bsky.social and I spent some time drawing the Witch Hat Atelier themed figure drawing session from Zeet Studio last year, and it took me until now to follow through with my threat to finish one of the sketches.

Over the holidays while cleaning, I decided to paint this pile of clutter instead of clean it up. I was (am) afraid it looks like something from college, but maybe that's a challenge in itself– to keep it from looking like college work. 😂
