Thought I might share a life story from a few months ago to brighten your day. Back in March, I spotted a raccoon on the side of the interstate that had very clearly been run over. I pulled over thinking I’d have to put it out of its misery. We ended up becoming good friends.

My eldest requested Godzilla shoe makeover with both Goji King of Monsters and Zilla x Kong. Did my best for minimal space and two color palettes. (Bonus: worked in a G: Minus One)
Acrylic +sealant

An influencer is just a fancier name for salesman, they just don’t have any job security.

Some don't know it's a long ongoing story so I compiled all the previous years!
It began in 2017, will see how long I can keep this going!

Positive affirmations for (almost) everyone! 🎉💛😽
![A comic about positive affirmations. In the first panel, against a sunny yellow background, Bex is looking at the viewer with cloying concern. She says, "please don't give up! You're going to be OK!"
In the second panel, Bex makes a heart with her hands while smiling sweetly. She says, "you deserve so much love and happiness! You're literally so loved!" In the third panel, the sunny backdrop has been replaced with black. Looking directly into the camera with a straight face, Bex says, "Except you, [blanked out name]. You know who you are. Fuck you."
In the final panel, the sunny background colour has returned and Bex has pom poms for cheering you on. She winks into the camera with a smile and says, "but everyone else, keep going! You're amazing!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zzj7p5r57sl4vviqws3e7k4e/bafkreigkj47ymnp3v6wrawvgmdkt37slj2tgxkveztq7ijh2qb3fgu4zkm@jpeg)

People argue about Die Hard with Xmas but I prefer Die Hard 2. It’s fun to watch a Dulles Airport movie that is absolutely not in Dulles Airport. #lifenearIAD
Ignoring that, the international airports on the east coast are all SUPER close, so DH2 is a snowy dumb ppl movie that makes me feel smart.

I used to browse online adult coloring books since I’m creating my own, but since the advent of AI, it’s become so painfully discouraging that I have to limit what I look at.
The likelihood of that many artists with exactly the same style is slim to none. It’s AI. And if it’s AI, it’s stolen.

In an attempt to learn sculpey, I made a tiny cactus! (cacti??)
I want to make a matching set of cute little succulents, but srsly making the pot was the hardest part.
My child wanted to feel the little prickles, so they didn’t last long.

My youngest has a mighty hyper focus on animals (ALL of them) and likes to shows me all these weird things I’ve never heard of.
…I was not a fan of the barrel eye fish.
BUT- I liked this one. cute lil sea slug called a leaf sheep. after legit seeing it, how could I not draw this?

One of my most ambitious pieces to date (along with my Seasonal Art!). I wanted to do Mucha Mermay, and I did it! I think. I had lots of fun and I’m tempted to do another Mucha style piece - maybe for next year’s Halloween…
