My birthday was on the 10th, and I went to a pottery painting studio with two of my friends. We went back today to pick up what we'd painted and to paint more. The paintbrush handle on this was what won me initially and I really like the way it came out. It looks like one of my actual brushes ❤️

...Spotify does indeed know I tend to put on ABBA when I'm cleaning.

All of the playlists I've been saving lately were a little more melancholic and that was not what I wanted today. I decided to see if the algorithm was paying attention. I went to the search bar and put in "up" and Spotify autofilled and understood what I wanted. Good job, Spotify!

Again, solid choices. Spotify is probably aware that I've been listening to @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social since...uhhh...before Spotify even though I usually switch over to the bandcamp app these days.

However, I wanted to see if Spotify would tell me what it thinks "fairycore" is.

Turns out the stressed playlist is pretty great.

This afternoon's genres weren't quite as intriguing as romantasy

I have a dozen closeups from this project already, because the wildest part of my soul is just so in love with these colors.

I got this book recently for art purposes.

I wonder who Kristal and Liesl are/were.

Also, this book was apparently printed in a country that no longer exists: Yugoslavia.

Nikki life. What a luxury after so, so many years of roaming with the seasons and living out of duffle bags.

"Mirror Mirror". 11x14, mixed media.

It's been three years since I signed my name to a serious project that made me feel like this. Three years of absolutely getting my ass kicked by the universe at large.
I am still here. I am still alive. I am still an artist.

This made me laugh, so Imma follow.

I snickered. Smartass badge reels are very popular in the ED.

The quiet contented hum in my bones that comes with tending to my plants on a gray December morning. Look at this beautiful baby.

His life is very hard.

I love this goober.

Well, isn't this just delightful.

The fact that you can take a plant cutting, park it in water and get a brand new plant is already pretty magical.
The fact that they will sometimes also produce flowers is an unexpected bonus dopamine source.

But this one is extra special. It's the only one that has also given me flowers.
July 23, 2023 at 1:23 AM
I mean, look at this. They're all beautiful. No complaints. I would have been happy with any of these propagating successfully. The fact that they ALL did feels like magic.

When I ordered the mystery box, all I wanted was for one of the cuttings to be purple. I was absolutely thrilled with all of the plantlings, but this one was especially exciting.

Living art.
