I had another retinal tear and I'm two days post op from that. My eye looks like a horror movie, but I'm still painting because fuck my limitations RIGHT IN THE (other) EYE. This is day 13 of a 30 day painting practice.

I'm ok. <3

In order to get used to having new lenses in my eyes + a retinal reattachment surgery (dude, they burned my retina back onto my eyeball in my ONLY GOOD EYE LEFT!) I've been doing a daily ten minute painting practice.

Finally used to my lens implants enough to paint without going cross-eyed. No, I'm not kidding. That was actually happening. :D #artist #mixedmediaart

She's unfinished, I think. What would you do with her?

Just in case anyone who isn't Canadian is worried that we are considering and that we've lost our damned minds, we aren't, and we didn't.

My Inuit kid and I talking about his height. He's wearing boots today so he's coming in at a staggering 6'8"
This is where it went.

Got my sight back only to go down with a terrible ear infection (the second one this year) and I am annoyed. BUT! Still #sober.

Still sober, still
