I survived my first Pokemon card show, and my kiddo walked away super excited to get some packs of the Japanese cards.
But that place was hella overwhelming 😬

In June I started an art mentorship. 2 sessions in, and it's already been canceled. :( I don't want to start over with a whole new person, but I also don't know that I want to just go back to doing my own thing without helpful feedback, either.
This sucks.

That feeling of needing to express feelings but you can't say them to the person, but you also can't just vent them out online for the whole world because it's all just so... raw and messy and gut wrenchingly painful to even try.

Went for a walk in the park. Had a chipmunk stop *right* in front of me. Had to try drawing/ painting one to commemorate 🥹
I tried gouache over an acrylic ink base and i have to say - i think I really am starting to prefer gouache over my watercolors.

I just got invited to display some art at a local show opportunity. Cue overwhelming panic about not feeling good enough to show among other, more seasoned artists 😬 also, most all my art is in sketchbooks and I dont know that I have anything worth sharing that I can pull out

L O fucking L. I've been telling people that small business is going to die off and some people look at me like I'm being dramatic. But one of my wholesalers is asking us to accept an even smaller profit margin, which is probably fine if you're big but small/indie retailers? It's a death sentence.
![A screenshot of a section from a wholesale supplier about tariff price increases that reads: "We want to be transparent: [redacted] cannot absorb these tariff costs alone, nor should consumers be expected to. Therefore, we are asking our distributors and retailers to share in the burden by accepting a reduced profit margin if further increases become necessary."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zqkwnsw5pwe2ggaw4brvtacl/bafkreid4qhw2rojzqw6iwxicsvv4z34ymqnj7xc75hi4bqdeqdk2hp4e3u@jpeg)

I know I'm processing some big feelings when I'm in the middle of lifting heavy weights at the gym and suddenly feel like I want to cry.

I don't know why, but trees felt super intimidating so I've avoided drawing them.
So drawing this today feels a bit like I've leveled up somehow 🥳

Moth May - Peppered Moth. My hand hurts from trying to stipple to capture the moth's coloring/texture. Pen again, though i did do an initial outline with pencil this time.

Tried a ballpoint pen sketch for the first time ever, too. Mistakes were made, but I'm proud of it :) now to decide if I want to add color to it, or leave it as-is. Maybe I'll fill the page and then add color later?

Spent my afternoon on the front porch soaking up this gorgeous weather and knocking out a first page in a new sketchbook. Not sure this sketchbook will hold up to everything i throw at it, though.

I may not get Easter baskets anymore, but I can be my own Easter Bunny and order art supplies.
Soft pastels, pastel paper, and a travel watercolor kit for the upcoming summer of finally getting to go to local urban sketching group events. 🐰
