My youngest was cast as the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland at school. So I’m pitching in to help with the costumes for the snobby flowers, they’ve asked me to paint their tshirts to show which flower they’re playing. I got the roses done, 8 more shirts to go!
A messy wooden dining table littered with paint bottles, brushes, and empty wine glass, and a murky jar of rinse water. Several pastel colored clothespins hold red Tshirts stretched over cardboard (visible only where it peaks out from under the collar). On the t-shirts are painted tattoo-style roses with glamorous faces sporting very snobby faces inspired by drag queens or Bratz dolls. Thick, pouting lips and heavy lidded eyes with exaggerated eyelashes are sprinkled with glitter, as the roses give hard side-eye. The leaves below the roses are positioned to look like the hands of someone who is in the middle of putting you in your place.

Visiting my in-laws in southern Maryland. Mornings on this porch overlooking Breton Bay are incredible. Two osprey sit patiently in the trees overlooking the water, while a flock of easily over 100 ducks or fowl of some kind have their morning promenade. I can hear a giant woodpecker somewhere.

Great start to this piece today! I loved this clients approach- he didn’t know what he wanted, just where it was going and what he wanted it to symbolize and we brainstormed this whole piece together.

A general sense of unease has been upon me all morning- but a few moments puttering around in the garden, and seeing the bees awake and busy assures me that I am of earth, and to earth one day I may return. But not yet. Not yet.

I’ve been doing neuro-feedback training to help with anxiety, depression, difficulty understanding peoples meaning and intentions in communication, memory loss, and adhd symptoms. This weekend I had an experience that assured me of my progress, and this trash can purse was the catalyst. A thread.

When you sit down for a second and the pup settles in for a snuggle and your coffee and your book are… over there….

Snow- my reason for living in the dead of winter! Fun day sledding in the park down the block. It’s always a party here on snow days, always running into friends from around the community
Fronkie laughing in the snow, wearing a Burton snowboarding jacket, mostly a muted berry color with large stripes of beige on the torso and small accent stripes of orange and greenish gold, with snowboarding pants that match the greenish gold. She’s also wearing cat-eye transition glasses and grey snow mittens. Black boots covered in snow. There is a mint green round sled on the ground and tiny specks of children playing in the distance.

Ok I tweaked it again a bit today, I thought the color on her face was too dark to work with the highlights and her eyes didn’t pop. One of the advantages of synthetic skin over real skin is that you can apply many layers over a color and lighten it. What do you think, better?

Todays progress on this fake skin tattoo painting I’m doing! This stuff is much harder to work with than real skin, it is really slow going. Today makes 10 hours of work on the skin so far (not including the time I spent designing it digitally).

With (gestures vaguely at everything) all this going on… now is the time to get deep into your community, whatever that looks like for you. This weekend a long-held dream of mine came true! I gathered my neighbors together to plan ways we could help meet each others needs.
Neighborhood resilience meeting notes page 1- “welcome, sign in and take a name tag. We take care of us!” A bubble in the center around the word “needs” branching out to a list of needs we all have and hope to help each other meet. “Food, clothes, entertainment, social time, toilets, toilet paper, childcare, tools, knowledge, potable h20, heat/cooling, transport, security, meds/1st aid, comms, power” Neighborhood resilience meeting notes page 2. Ideas in the top left corner- adopt-a-house, block parties- close the street, Sunday afternoons, newsletter. Another topic bubble- skills. Branches coming out from the bubble read “tech, sewing, childcare/teaching, homesteading, security/defense, medical, cooking/hospitality, vet (animals), handy person- plumbing, carpentry, electrician, growing food Neighborhood resilience meeting notes page 3- “phase 1- libraries- inventory, planning gardens, time bank, organizing, planning, committees. Phase 2- doing stuff. Build days

Sweet red panda lounging on a cherry blossom branch I did for my client recently. He wanted something to represent his husband and tie in with the cherry blossom tree sleeve we did several years ago.
#tattoo #colortattoo #redpanda
A tattoo on a man’s chest of a red panda lounging on a blooming branch of cherry blossoms. The branches come from the man’s arm and arch over the collarbones and down around the edge of the pectoral muscle. The red panda’s generous belly is resting on the branch and his limbs are dangling straight down on either side of it.
