I'm Brie! I make a variety of art. It's usually spookyish, but sometimes it's pets.

I bet doom scroll meant something way cooler in the middle ages.

Life is too short to not draw that weird shit that your heart desires

at the dealership for what feels like forever. As my two year old nephew would say "I tuck"
A sketchbook with a desert background drawn. Plenty of saguaros. Main focus is a bobcat stuck on the arm of a saguaro cactus. He looks very irritated.

Woke up today and my brain has not been able to shut up about everything. I distracted it with some paint.

I don't have a great name for this one yet. Enjoy.

A 10 inch round painted in various shades of greens, swirling and bubbling. There's a polygon on the right filled with hearts. Swirls of darker reds and oranges attack, trying to break it open. A close-up of the polygon figure filled with hearts. It's a pink organ color. The hearts are outlined in a dark indigo. The polygon is surrounded on all sides.

I'm trying to get better about reading again and taking the time for it. Maybe #booksky 📚💙 will help with some accountability?

I finished Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson this month and started Someone to Build a Nest In by John Wiswell earlier today!

pick up an analog hobby, I'm so serious. something that holds your attention and is fun for you, literally anything.

Collect and identify bread tags or something, just don't fall into the trap of doomscroll paralysis again

Biggest moment of joy for the day: arms full of bat books at Bookman's - store worker saw my obsession and told me to wait a sec, and grabbed a book they got in from the back. Died with overexcitement.

Took this guy home and he's so pretty!
A picture of a book called an illustrated guide to bats by Marianne Taylor. There are various bats all over the cover.

Just remembered my sleep deprived self last night put library books about bats on hold at my public library 🦇🦇

It's like waking up to discover drunk you left sober you a little present you thought you'd enjoy!

Fucked up that one day I’ll die and won’t be able to draw skeletons anymore. Stupid.

"After Hours" acrylic on 30x40 canvas heavily based on Gates Pass here in #Tucson from May of last year.

I constantly crave some variety of spooky, and adding eternal friends to the desert seemed apt.

How many ghosties can you spot when you zoom in?

A desert painted canvas at sunset. The sky is a gradient from orange up to dark blue. A full moon in the sky. There are mountains and rocks, leaving a valley towards the center. There are saguaros casting shadows throughout. Behind several saguaros are typical white ghosts peeking from behind. On the right there's a lizard skeleton. On the left there's a small snake slithering through sand. On the top right in the sky are two bats.

I've had my septum pierced for so long that it's always SO strange when I have to take it out.

I immediately become NotBrie or perhaps an evil clone, and can only be defeated by putting my septum back in.

NotBrie has been defeated for today.

Getting sapphic vibes from this valentine's day treat 💞

if that vampire never became a father, can it still be a dad joke? or does that make it a vlad joke? a dead joke?
a dark turquoise bucket on a baby pink background. the bucket says in script happy Valentine’s Day. In the bucket there are two blood pouches on ice - one says +ABsolutely love you and the other says You’re mine, -Obvi.

Been feeling kind of puny and sick this week, but at least I've got these to remind me what the outside looks like!

funfact: these were a mother's day gift to my MIL last year of twp saguaros growing on their property here in tucson!

Two cactuses central in the square frame, surrounded by a variety of green vegetation. The ground appears darker purple-brown. The sky is a sunset, bright neon oranges being enveloped in dark blues and purples. Two cactuses central in a square frame. surrounded by sparse green vegetation. the sky is a cloudless blue. the ground is a red-brown reminiscent of clay. two cactuses in a square frame. they're quite short. the ground is a lighter red-brown. the sky is being lit up with the sun coming up over a mountain, various rays sprouting. there's more vegetation in the background but not as much in the foreground. there's dark shadows from the cactuses on the lower half of the canvas.

This was such a refreshing read - it's definitely been hard to circumvent the panic that exists with the new administration. I really appreciate the breakdown here!

Feeling overwhelmed by Trump’s first week? A little piece of advice: skip the doomscrolling and go straight to the facts. This read is a great place to start.

going through old works - forgot how magical this one feels! referenced fort lowell park highly throughout this one - golden dragonflies included. they're my favorite 💛🧡

#art #acrylicpainting #goldenhour
a picture of a painting. a dark tree with branches reaching across to the left side of the canvas. water with hues of blues and greens highlighted with white go up two thirds of the way. the top is highlighted greens and yellows in the trees. golden dragonflies flutter around the lower half of the painting. dark shadowy leaves and their reflections in the water make up the bottom.

Totally wrapped up in you, Valentine! 💛

#art #valentinesday #procreate
A dark red background. Pale yellow text that has a texture similar to mummy bandages that says unwind with me, valentine. It’s connected up to a sideways sarcophagus on top of the page with a wrapped hand emerging. The sarcophagus has heart eyes and faded reds and blues along each side.
