I gotta stop beating myself up for not creating art on a consistent basis. I mean nobody is threatening me over it lol. I can just…. Not draw if I don’t feel like it.

What a concept. 😹

I'm not good. But that's ok bc I'm having a blast.

Find your joy where you can 💖

One of the prettier pages from my ephemera book/junk journal.

I hope amidst all this chaos you can find a slice of peace somewhere. Anywhere.

A page from a junk journal. The top entry is about a knitted weasel. The writing says "Knitted a little white weasel! I used some strange fluffy mystery yarn - no idea where I picked it up from XD" The bottom entry features a drawing of iridescent crystals on black paper and a sticker of a rose in a vase. The writing says "little acrylic marker drawing I did of iridescent crystals". Glittery blue washi tape and other stickers decorate the page.

Nationwide, hundreds of arts groups received emails telling them that their grants would either be terminated or withdrawn. In the emails, the National Endowment for the Arts specified that it was ending grants that don’t align with Trump’s policies.
Utah arts groups just saw thousands in funding pulled by the feds. Here’s what was cut.
Several Utah arts organizations got emails from the National Endowment of the Arts, saying that key grant money they had been promised was being pulled back.

Shoutout to all those artists out there who have been sticking it out for decades trying to find their tribe.

Grats to those who’ve found it.

To those of us who never have:

I make so many stupid jokes in my art that nobody gets because they’re stupid and only make sense to me and, you know, that’s alright I guess.

I heard one time she ate a bird. Yeah. A whole ass sparrow, feathers and all.

She's a friend to snails, though.

A #TrilobiteTuesday flashback: When I retired from @romtoronto.bsky.social at the end of 2016 one of my museum colleagues (& a good friend) made this for me. Phil isn't here on @bsky.app, but I can still thank him & acknowledge his talents & kindness! #stainedglass #SciArt #PalaeoArt #InverteFest
A human hand holds up a small, back-lit, stained glass panel depicting a graceful swimming trilobite in pale blue tones. It is surrounded by honey-coloured glass in a narrow metal frame.

Im not usually one to make oc's, but she's probably the closest I have to one. She means a lot to me. Her left and third eyes are open, but her right eye is closed and her throat chakra/voice is missing. She is benevolent & occupies the spaces in between realities.
