I made a little YouTube channel that I’ve worked on a lot the last few years, and I’d greatly appreciate anyone who wanted to see it. There’s a link at the end of the video. #artist #illustrations #scarystories

I’m truly envious of this cat for not being able to comprehend how harrowing the news stories coming out are… today and every other single day. Happy Caturday.

My current mood going into 2026 is listening to my favorite songs from my teenage years and regretting everything that’s happened since 🥰

Kevin, a stray I feed, got super sick lately. Took him to the emergency vet, and after making preparations to adopt him, I found out he has FIV. He got meds, but it’s hard not think of the life he could’ve had as an indoor cat. I hope to one day find him a happy home. ❤️🩹

It’s my roommate’s birthday, so I made a pie that I’m going to eat by myself in front of him. I learned how to stabilize whipped cream and use a piping bag for it. It’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever baked - which isn’t saying much - but I wanted to preserve it here for posterity.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I just finished this with some leftover tones from another project (which became the equivalent of painting with dried tar. Never again).

It’s been five years since Kermit showed up two days before a tropical depression hit and decided not to be a stray anymore. He’s the best thing that ever happened to me. We survived a pandemic, a Category 4 hurricane, two tornado warnings, 12+ vet visits, and more. Here’s to many more years. ❤️🐱

Kermit is sleeping peacefully after violently destroying the couch that isn’t even paid off yet. Happy Caturday.

I just saw an ad to report schools who still practiced DE&I. How did Americans become so fucking fragile that the idea of giving someone other than straight white men a shot is bad? Why is this idea of tolerance so taboo? What the absolute fuck. Every day, it’s like a test to not become enraged.

I just opened the door to feed one of the outside cats—aptly named Pazuzu—and he was sitting on the porch with a fully cooked hotdog in his mouth. I have so many questions.

Every year when it gets to be close to autumn, I bake a ton of cookies for my friends. And then I remember that I don’t have any friends, and I eat them by myself.

Happy Caturday. I know times are bleak and many of us are struggling and discontented—believe me, I get it—but it’s more important than ever to find what you love and hold onto it. This is mine right here. 🖤

So my process has been to take some time off from writing lately, because it’s at the point where everything feels stuck. But mentally, I’ve been considering who/what to trim out.

I made this painting of C. Thomas Howell, and he shared it in his Instagram Stories! It’s pretty thrilling for me! 🎨🎭🖌️

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Happy Juneteenth! While it’s necessary to have a day that marks the end of slavery in the U.S., it’s equally important to acknowledge we still have a lot of work to do.
