Trying to reestablish the early morning habit of studio time. The first week I got mostly cleaning done. Today I did a little sketchbook warm ups 💜💗
No paint brush used. Just a rubber spatula! #intuitiveart #mixedmedia #artjournal

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other.

I can’t believe that after eight months of campaigning, we’re finally just two days from election day. As frightening as these times are, I’ve never been more hopeful about the future of our city. This has never been about me — this is about all of us.

Todays progress it's a tricky part and it's easy to get sucked into details. It's important for me to still be loose and make brave marks. This is the time to put it on the wall and stand back from it. See it as a whole 🌐

A loose start to a new painting 🎨🎨
Getting down the basic composition, and colors that will be under other colors.
In my head I only have a basic idea, and am open to any change.I fully expect this to end up very different.

More testing Japanese calligraphy paper this time 7.5kg extra thick. It handles the paint and other media so much better then the last one. Next I'll try the bamboo.

Testing Japanese paper (rice paper) for the next journal I make.
Quick sketches and scribbles using every medium I have.
So far I found it bleeds through, doesn't hold up too well to wet on wet. But is beautiful for neo and Stabilo crayons. The pages wrinkle but I like a wrinkly page 😁

What's your automatic doodle? The one you do while talking on the phone or scribble down when you're not thinking? Mine is loopy loops.

Sadly it turns out my PC is not just pining for the fjords. It has passed on and is no more.
I'm trying to have a new build up in the next few days but it's going to be expensive. If you want to throw a few bucks my way it's appreciated but never expected. Watching my VODs/YouTube helps for free! 💜

WELP! My PC might be well and truly dead. Been trying to get it running in safe mode all morning but it looks like I'll need to take it apart.
Please wish me luck that I can fix it and get back to streaming later this week.
Until then if you want to support me:
