Small travel sketch. Are you curious what else I have in my travel art kit?

On this day of commercialization of romantic relationships, I hope you can find a way of self-love through art - whether that is devoting 3 hours to a painting, reading a poem, or just stop to take a quick picture of a flower.

Happy International Day of #WomenInScience! I'm not in research anymore but just taught our international students practical microbiology. Nothing to do with the purple going on here, but also so much fun! They did well, and I hope some will become great scientists. 💜👩‍🔬🧪

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Inspiration comes from anywhere. In this case, a newly thrifted backing book with photos looking so delicious that I decided to dedicate a sketchbook page to bake illustrations 🍰🧁🍩

I often do my art in tiny pockets of time. These are digital seascape sketches I did in just 5-10 min during lunch breaks with a single oil brush in Procreate. Instant calm and sensory joy 🖌️

We didn’t “lose skills.”

We lost access to energy that was being siphoned off by masking, fear, and hypervigilance.

Capacity doesn’t disappear randomly - it’s spent.

Autistic Burnout reveals what was never actually sustainable, only demanded.

Those that return are authentically ours.

I currently love these little sketchbook pieces with ink and watercolor pencils. So much fun to make (even with low spoons) and relaxing to watch (even at double speed).

I hope that this weekend you can take some time to do something creative. I wanted to let all of you know: Feel free to use the nature photos I post here as inspiration and reference. I know not everyone can go outside.

I'm having a collaboration coming up next month with 10 other artists, and I'm already so excited. Can't tell too much yet, but we will take you on an adventure 😊

I will start sharing my art here again to make this world a tiny bit more bearable (hopefully). I don't even have the money to donate anything. I feel like making art and staying connected is all I can do right now. What is it that gives you hope?
Small, unfinished seascape oil painting on brown cardboard background. It has a stormy, dark blue sky on the top half and a sandy beach area on the lower left side. The sea part itself is mostly showing the purple and pink underpainting.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

The only way I've been coping recently is by embracing my creative chaos and working hard on creating resources. We must not let them destroy our joy. We must help each other to keep on fighting.
