One of the things I love about my studio location is the two story windows that perfectly frame the autumn colors. I can sit on my couch and feel okay in those moments.

Fairly quiet day at the studio. Did some printing. Skeleton longs to be friends with the wire spiders.

The only comfort I have been able to take is what this Oregon national guard general stated the other day

Hosting a monthly market pop up at my studio tomorrow.

It's a perfect excuse to come downtown, enjoy some art, pop next door for some excellent coffee at Sinister and perhaps a walk?

Hop the max to the downtown to 3rd and Morrison.

Good news-- I was accepted into Geek Girl Con & Market of the Beast.

Not so good news-- I need to scare up the funds to cover the booth fees.

One of the things I'm selling is my copic collection. 32markers, 33 25ml refills, some other related goodies for $350

Portland Pride Festival is this weekend and as part of the festivities I'm holding a grand opening celebration at my new store front/print studio!

Found a fun use for screen transparencies I used before switching to paper and baby oil.

Honestly one of my favorite displays in my vase of monster roses. Could definitely use more monster flowers

A quick shop update. Got some work up on the wall, a general floor layout. Just need to get more signs and more art up.

A little video of the studio Friday of last week just before the soft opening. Looking forward to sharing updates, new merch, and mural installations.
June 17, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Holding a soft opening of my studio today from 4-8pm in conjunction with Sinister coffee.

We are both hosting local artists. Come by for a snack, chat and learn more what each business is doing and have planned for summer

The whole experience from start to finish has been a unique journey.

Im glad I took the job even if it felt a little out of my normal work. It was nice to do something different. Also my first time attending a professional soccer game.

While I didn't have a breath taking moment seeing the stands with people twirling my scarf design in the air (it was 95f, wtf with a heavy woven scarf)

It was still impactful being on the giant screens.

Was told while leaving that someone said "that's the person who designed the scarf"

Studio update time! Got some coats of red down. Need to get a telescoping pole to do edging details.

Did a couple coats black in the rest of the space (so forgot to snag a couple pics). Vision is starting to come together

Gofundme update-- made the $1200 goal over the weekend. Currently at 33% funded, which is so exciting! Thank you for everyone who has helped so far.

New goal is $3000 so I can buy a nice washout station(one I don't have to McGyver) and flash dryer for curing stuff onsite

I have another run of crows to do and wrap up the embellishing on my sphinx bandanas. Hopefully printing up some new stuff here very soon.

Be sure to check out all the stuff I have up for pre-order to help fund opening Grave Raiment Studio.
