This year has been hard, navigating life under an increasingly authoritarian regime. More corruption, more distortion. But we can still create with honesty. And I get to do that for a living bc you all support my work. I'm so so grateful.

I hope you spend a little time art-making too 💫

Just so everyone knows. The cats all have a little cat-sized hatch on the back, so they are not trapped 💙

Working on some last minute Astronaut Vessels for Saturday's restock. But they're a little different than usual...😸

I was thinking about cats and how the world can be falling apart around them but they still go about their day, hiding discomfort, quietly enduring.

Today's #SpacetoberChallenge: Spacecraft.

So here are a few Astronaut Vessels. Each one shows an astronaut traveling in a well-worn craft. I started painting these after a health scare, but they evolved to reflect the marks life makes on our physical and mental state over time.
Angled cup collage featuring a green weathered spacecraft design with a round window and astronaut peering out to see branches wrapping around the craft. Vase collage featuring a blue weathered spacecraft design with a round window and astronaut looking up. The exterior has impact marks and words etched on a panel "NOT SAFE, GO". Angled cup collage featuring a spacecraft design painted as if it's made from wood with a round window and two child astronauts playfully sword fighting inside. There are childlike etchings on the wooden exterior. Angled cup collage featuring a pink weathered spacecraft design with a round window and astronaut resting their head on their arms. The back has a square panel with a smudged smiley face looking aged and worn in the center.
