We missed #caturday. Perilla was too busy partying and now she's experiencing the consequences 😂

I like my weird little painting. I've named it 'Buffy' because for some reason, it really makes me think of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' 😅
A landscape oriented painting on a self-stretched blue canvas. The painting is of lime green silk fabric background with a shiny green stone and dried pink flower in front of a brown stone to the left, a floating bean shaped object to the middle left and pothos leaves above a pink crocodile shape cut of paper to the right.

Things on the farm that are making me happy this week 🌱
I've gotta say, there is an insane amount of mental and physical work that goes into food production.

Made this set of 2 for a commission. Message if you'd like a (or more) painting and we can work on your colours, size, feel etc!

First harvest of the season: green garlic! I made a potato and green garlic soup and a green garlic risotto with them 😋

I've had those too! But since getting Perilla I'm not worried anymore. She woke me up at 2am because she wanted me to mix her dry food with water 🥹

A photo of a sheet of rectangular stickers that say "Trans people, Immigrants, Women, Black people, Indigenous people, Drug users, Unhoused people, 2SLGBTQIA+" in list format all crossed out with "Billionaires are the enemy" below the list indicating that the people listed aren't the problem, it's billionaires that are the problem.

I have been on the UBC farm for 3 weeks now and wow - it's already been so healing for me.
After burning out in tech and having my love of design beaten out of me, working with and on the land with such wonderful people has been everything I needed. I have energy again, I'm inspired again. Thankful

The last of the blind contour batch. This was such a great ice breaker activity!
A piece of paper divided into four panels with 3 profile images drawn in blind contour style with a brown crayon. The lower right panel is left blank.

Collage is a great way to inspire a painting. This painting came out after I did my collage yesterday!

This weekend I took a wilderness survival course and built my own shelter to sleep in! I was mostly cosy even in the -4 degree weather. Except for my toes, those were cold 🥶

Today is Vancouver's bi-election and there are 2 seats up for grabs. Go vote! Bonus points if you stop by an Elections Canada office to vote early in the federal election! #vancouver #vote

I soldered around some sea glass to prep it for jewelry making! It was the first time I've done it and it was fun and strangely very relaxing!
19 pieces of random sea glass with the edges of each soldered.

On trans day of visibility I want to remind everyone who the enemy is: billionaires. If you're in Vancouver message me for some free stickers or I can also send the file for ppl who want to print!
