Hi, I'm Mara! A queer artist with AuDHD and a constant headache (among other things) and with that a lot of exhaustion.

I do a lot of different art.
Currently I'm mainly focusing on rubber stamps. But I also do lino printing and love painting picture frames for art. And I love a good side project.
A DIN A4 piece of paper with a lot of different stamped illustrations. A seahorse, a goose, a church with the text "Post aus Mainz", a pigeon holding a letter with the text "für dich", a mouse with a letter, a fast snail holding a letter, a whale, a pillow with the text "Kissenstempel", a fish, several butterflies, tomatoes, stars and flowers, apples and an apple tree. Some seal stamps (as in wax seals but stamps), one of them a heart, one a fish, one leaves and a flower and one my artist sign. a photo of a framed lino print. The print is red and shows a package of passata. The frame is dark and square. Is has small tomatoes all over it. The mat or passepartout is white with prints of red tomatoes with green tomatoe greens. A blue lino print on white paper showing a negative printed fish and the text eat the rich in caps. The fish is vertical and has different textures. It has a white head with a big round eye and a small mouth. The fins all have fine lines on them, the backfin ones are very parallel, the other ones a bit more organic looking. It has scales on its body except for the belly. The belly is striped in the direction of the fish. The print is titled "Eat the fish", it's also numbers "#1" and signed by me. The print lays on background with an illustrated flower pattern.

Of course the best print was a test on cheap copy paper. #art
A framed, blue lino print of a fish in front of a wavy background. The frame is standing on a cd shelf, the sun shines on it.

Did a small, spontaneous print, because I cut paper for sth I wanted to reprint today and had some over. And since I didn't want to set up a printing station and not use the small paper, I did this design too.
#art

(And of course I didn't do the print I planned to do... 😶)
A lino print and the corresponding block of a fish on a wavy background. The print and the paper it's on are small. The print is about 3cm x 4.5cm. The print is number 1 and is called "Kleinfisch macht auch Mist". It is datet to January 2026

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Woke up because of a car(?) alarm that sounded a bit like a werid siren. So after a minute or so, I suddenly panicked myself into "maybe it's an emergency siren?? I need to look at my phone, at the news, bluesky if sth happened" 🫠

My plan was a buzz cut and then yellow and pink color. But now I'm unsure, because we got a new cheap trimmer (because the other broke) and I mainly wanted a buzz cut because our trimmer was already shit and it made transitions hard and everything so exhausting. And I like the longer top part.

Watercolour painting of a bunch of white bunnies around a glass of whipped cream matcha boba with strawberries, on a light green background. Two of the bunnies are climbing a rose gold metal straw poking out of the whipped cream on top, most of the others are just chilling, except one who is in the air, mid leap. Tea leaves and strawberries are scattered around the scene

The car repair shop just called and told us they had no idea what's wrong with our car. 💀
Apparently the error memory didn't tell them anything and they're taking a closer look at it tomorrow.

We took the car to the repair shop. Let's hope it's not too bad. 🥲

I want to talk about the "Engagement Hacker" that is @mytipme.com!

They blocked me on my original post calling out their deceptive practices, so I wanted to create a proper one for you!

today's friend is... a platypus!
#art ✧ #painting ✧ #platypus
Photo of a 20x20cm square acrylic marker painting. There is a stylized platypus in the middle. Around the animal there are bubbles and some seaweed on a dark turquoise background. That image has very thick light grey frames that have some kelp or vines in both of the sides, the upper and lower parts have both three platypus eggs.

I painted some rainbow carrots in my sketchbook! 🥕 #art
An open sketchbook page next to a handful of paint markers and a pencil sharpener. The page is full of red, orange, yellow, white and purple carrots! Some have little faces drawn on them :o)

I hate that you can't find anything online anymore.
Like I would bet that someone already made a diy slide viewer and talked about it on a blog or a forum, but I cannot find anything about it.

I'm sorting through things and found this beautiful print by @inkythoughts.bsky.social in my treasure chest. ❤️
I think I should (finally...) frame it and hang it up on my wall. 😅
Apostcard sized print of a drawing. It shows a small river full of lantern boats on it in a snowy landscape. The lanterns are being placed inside the water by a ling haired person kneeling in the snow at the edge of the water. They're wearing very noble and puffy garments u would describe as royal, in the similar colors to the rest of the landscape. The person has a calm and kind face, illuminated by the lanterns. The lanterns and their light are a beautiful yellow-orange contrast to the blue landscape.
