pnw artist, cat lady, forest nymph, activist for a better future, always learning and growing.
the world may be on fire, but I'm still an artist, and art is one of the things that brings me back to myself when everything threatens to swallow me up.

today I organized my supplies a bit, so I can inventory which colors I need to replenish, and to a picture of all my 2025 work.

PHD Psychologist Dr. Steven Hassan, who studies cults and how to extricate people from cults. BITE model of authoritarian control. (Behavior control, Information Control, Thought Control, Emotional Control). I think we see a lot of the Information and Thought control in MAGA groups.

sharing this chart from the codependency healing youtuber @marshallburtcher.bsky.social for our silent "leaders" to help them heal from their intense codependence. maybe they can break free and do what they were elected to do, honor their oaths, and stop cowering under the weight of fascism.

mixing up the elements of my linework recently has been fun. this is what tonight's piece looks like.

after trying out sharp linework, the obvious next step was trying to combine sharp with rounded. here's what I came up with. felt very apt for the mars-venus opposition this week.

these are the piles of the finished, and still needing touched up, paintings that I've made since moving into this space in May. I really need a real art space lol. making art in bed late at night this is what you get. one day I'll have a real studio space. 😍😊✨

here's the first sharp-lined one that I made. not sure if this was after I finished touchups or not. probably not. there was another sharp one I made, but I can't show that one yet, as it is a gift. I don't think the person is on bsky, or knows that I am, but you never know.

finished the painting from the other night. wondered what sharp lines would look like instead of rounded ones, and have since made a couple paintings in that vein. they're pretty neat. fixed a painting I was not liking, by making the white outline purple. hands always sore. night life of an artist.

hands are sore, and for once I'm listening to my body and pausing the work instead of pushing through. I like how playful it looks so far!
