*Ever so slightly* bent sideways to my left to put a bag (that was hanging from my shoulder) on the ground. The following week I was crawling everywhere because I couldn’t stand up without experiencing excruciating pain😭. My lower back hasn’t been the same since!
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

😅

I wanted to play with the visual vibration between a vivid red and ultramarine blue. It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped - I might try again some time with different pigments. #Art #Watercolor #Mermaid

Calling this done bc too much watercolor obscures my inks. I used my favorite blue purple a custom watercolor mix.

The cat “MEBOSHI” cannot speak with KOKEDAMACHAN. They don't share a common language. Yet they play together almost every day. Perhaps words aren't necessary to become friends.

Thank you to everyone who came to see me tonight at the Oxford Lane library! I'm glad you spent your first Friday evening of 2026 with me. For everyone else, look at this delightful thank you gift I got from the librarians there. One of them painted it! It's going on my office desk for sure.

I have a lot of traditional art followers and I was thinking—would anyone want to join a free art supplies trade?

Similar to an art share, post extra supplies you have and want to gift for free, say your country and if shipping is free or not, and find people to gift to or trade with!

I swear IG is actively trying to make it more difficult and frustrating to post images so you just give up and post a reel.

Happy New Year!🥳

I’m finally putting up some small artworks for sale. I’m starting with these Disney Princess paintings.

These won’t be in the store just yet. But I’ll have them available from the January 5th. Just to give people a fair chance to see this post!

2025 has been a huge year for me and Tangle Gully!
We had 3 event appearances, I produced my book and I got my website and store online :D

For 2026 I plan to finish book 2, attend more events, explore some new ideas and even get my video game project(s) to a presentable stage!

See you next year!
