Ever see lighting that just makes you pause and look in awe? And cameras don't really do it justice but you try to capture it anyway and greedily register it in your brain like the visual treat it is?

No? Just me? Well here's a picture of Kai napping hard anyway...

In an attempt to make some more artsy ✨content✨ for my socials, I tried to make a palette cleaning ASMR video with my new scraper...

Oh dear... 😬

Another day, another pallette of very subtle changes in tone because I can't share the work itself.

Anyone else mix tiny puddles of paint as they go?

This powerful and thought-provoking piece of political theatre was written by Einat Weizman, an Israeli Jewish citizen, with two Palestinian political prisoners, shining a light on the collective experiences of the prisoners.

Evolution of an OC...

Left: (2007 ish) Polymer Clay Larriscocious (Larry) the Fearless. Anxiety monster, lives under a keyboard.

Right: (2022) Acrylic Painting of Larry. Unbothered, moisturized, happy, in his lane, focused, flourishing. Loves plants.

Some day I may have a fancy grey glass palette, but for now an old glass side from a PC case with rubber grommets for feet on a white desk top works just as well!
Another day of subtle blacks and whites, with a smattering of pink...

Can't share WIP as it's a gift. But boy howdy does my palette messy with all the tiny mixes...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

I hear can hear this in my head, but also feel it in my soul...

Whispering "trust the process" to myself in an increasingly more frantic tone as I try to multiple different whiles in the one painting...

My toxic trait is mixing too much or too little or a colour, but never the right amount...

It's hard work following sun puddles across the room all morning....

Spot the grumpy buddy who wasn't allowed walk in paints during a mini painting art date with @obrien.gg yesterday...

Me 8 years ago: ah ha! Yes this is a solid purchase and worth investing in!

Me now: wtf am I supposed to do with 2 life size resin cast human femurs!?

I uploaded a digital design to Red Bubble 10ish years ago, chancing my arm back in the day. (A crowned Cecaelia, topless, holding a skull and smirking.)

Today, a decade later, someone bought it on a mug...

I genuinely hope that person is very happy with their mug.

This is a veiled threat. Toasting himself on my PC case and looking cosy, sure... But that blue glow through his bib is the power button...

Semi ruined (might be able to stretch and fix) my lovely new cosy PJs...

Finally found a massive wide leg one with no cuffs. The white whale of PJ bottoms for me...

I didn't read the washing label right and now they're not floor length or super wide anymore... Gutted 😭

Prayer of the creative person that likes doing too many things:

I have a particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired through a lot of random bullshit. Skills that make me a nightmare to pin down and communicate succinctly.

Playing with the difference in underpainting colours for gold.

Same God paint, a type of Prussian Blue mix on top, and a Red Oxide on the bottom.

Love a good green wall... This is just a fraction of a massive one near our gate out of Schiphol airport.
