Serene Joy. Newly back in Bend, OR. Sometime architect, hypnotist-coach, designer. Full time human, nature, fascinations.
Two pieces of media that interact wonderfully: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLpQ... via kottke.org (watch it! Cool, relaxing, who doesn't like Orinoco Flow?) and this photo: www.space.com/space-explor...

(Bonus third media, book fin. last night: More Everything Forever - great, crushing :\ )

Weird tic I’m just now, today, 100% conscious of: when I click and drag highlights when reading web articles (aware of this tic already) - I’m trying to match the line lengths to finger lengths. I find it very satisfying, and having realized it - I’ve been doing it forever. 🤷‍♀️

An excessive number of excellent toe beans and supermodel long legs. ❤️

“How are you this morning?” “Welp, you know, accidentally read the news, so….” :|| for the next 🤢 four years minimum. (I don’t want to be this way. I also don’t want what’s happening nationally.)

Happy New Year! Lots of the news is whatever, but 2024 pulled out the apology stops and since November I’ve got a new job (starting tomorrow!), a brand new house for February, family and friends nearby, and just a whole lot of goodness to get the year started ☺️

#ArtAdventCalendar
Glad I didn’t number these - still posted a lot for a whirlwind of a month! New job, partner’s new business, and a new home/first owned home mostly acquired 🥰. Happy to post this and wish you all the loveliest hope in this dark of the year.

I did over a hundred of these self-portraits from the Linda Barry syllabus/books. So fun! And this one Christmas-y 🎄 #ArtAdventCalendar #comics

#ArtAdventCaendar I’ve constrained the art advent to non-photography for no particular reason, but today I felt just like this photo. It was a stretch! Good things are happening 💛.

Apparently I like the idea of getting people terrible presents (after some sincere gift- finding and wrapping today): this made me giggle many times. And links to more at the bottom! naomikritzer.com/2024/12/09/g...
Gifts for People You Hate, 2024

#ArtAdventCalendar Playing with a new style and new (tiny!) Wacom, long before iPad magic. This was magic enough!

#ArtAdventCalendar Live sketchy painting of my man, Willy Nelson. (Not that huge a fan, or I would have been dancing!)

#ArtAdventCalendar a competition submission. Didn’t win, still love the concept and that squirrel! Digital.

#ArtAdventCalendar Still from an animation; is quite widescreen and I’m not sure Bluesky is showing the whole thing. Maybe on click-through? Experiments!

Noted for when summer comes again.
Do not sit in the sun. Remain at least ninety million miles away from it at all times

#ArtAdventCalendar I drew this alongside an Aaron Blaise video, not quite a tutorial - still proud of how it turned out, and really want to finish the drawing course. Someday!

DAY 11
I took the opportunity to collab with an artist and a longarm quilter to create this queen sized quilt (I did the piecework). It's to be a gift for a super deserving couple. 💙💙💙

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

My joy when counting #ArtAdventCalendar posts and I have unfilled ~slots for something I’m playing with today!

#pixelart or cross-stitch - disappearing bear claw quilt pattern, layout/colors based on a Carolyn Manning pattern. Not sold on [a lot] - not done! - but it’s fun enough to share!

#ArtAdventCalendar A less rigid mandala with spirals interacting from the center. A favorite from the series.

#ArtAdventCalendar This was about as far as I got with calligraphy - it was a fun obsession for a little while. ❤️
