Friendly neighborhood art witch
I don't always have a muppet print go viral, but when I do there's definitely a Canada Post strike.
How has this happened twice?

Layers upon layers of gouache and neon watercolours built up into this whimsical little mush painting. #artsky #canada

I have sold nearly every one of these new stickers in less than a week. I've reordered. Never underestimate that Canadian pride, y'all

On another platform I asked people about cheese and got massive engagement. Show my work and crickets.
Maybe I need to combine the two 🤔 😅

Imagine if Trump had to defend himself from a screaming toddler despot in a language that wasn't his first language. The man needs a translator for accented English.
This timeline sucks.

In times of upheaval, my instinct is to create art that speaks to the moment. And I just can't seem to get there. My brain works with phrases and assigns images to them, and the only place I seem to land, lately, is the idea of "freaking out together is better than freaking out alone" #artsky

The patriotic artwork is happening. Nice to have reclaimed the flag from the Convoy-ers.

Imagine you're a volunteer in a small (small) northern AB town and you and a group of passionate needs want to organize a youth play production of Over the Garden Wall by @patrickmchale.bsky.social .
How would you do this? Could you? Is there a script that could be acquired?

This is a town near me. I've met some of these people at protests in support of Trans rights. This is a scary truth about Alberta.
A shadow war on libraries
Some Canadian politicians and influencers, inspired by an American-born movement, are trying to roll back 2SLGBTQ+ rights in Canada — one book at a time.

The other day I got so bogged down by reading news and absorbing world info that I truly felt like I wanted to go to sleep. I felt SO despondent, my heart hurt, and I felt desperate for that feeling to stop (1/2)

This is a hand gesture I approve of.
