Amelia is in face jail bc she won’t stop licking/biting her toes (assuming allergies but keeping an eye on it). However, she still insists on hanging out under my desk.

In the meantime, my gf asked for a “slutty cake” for her birthday and mentioned she likes tiramisu so I made tiramisu cupcakes (cocoa powder is under the frosting) in the shape of an ejaculating penis

Also, I became “official” with a lovely muppet of a human being. He told me i asked him 3 months to the day of our first date (because he’s the type that enjoys commemorating such things).

Amelia met her first goats today, as a neighbor apparently has two tending their garden. She was terrified and didn’t believe me when I said they were just giant dogs who could be her friends.

How I ensure I stay awake to make my 9am appointment in Metarie: give Amelia the empty water bottle I just chugged.

My bed frame arrives tonight & I’ll stop sleeping on the ground finally.

And then after I fell asleep at 6am, I was woken up an hour later knowing something was wrong, but unsure what. There was rain, that much I knew. Came out to find my canopy collapsed (but inside was fine). Others weren’t so lucky. We all sprung into emergency relief mode.

Went to Engulf this weekend. Our effigy this year was a cicada that I helped do painting on the belly for. What a rebirth.

She kept most of it clenched in her jaws/cheek the 6 block walk home then scarfed it down the minute we stepped on the porch before I could wrangle it out her mouth. Photo of her chipmunk cheeks

It’s been something like 7 years since I last touched a silkscreen and yet, managed a fine coat and burn all on my own earlier today at the local community printshop.

And she is a silly goober

Bringing back having private drawing sessions at my house with my lovely friends. I’ve missed figure drawing.

Finally tore into the Lego sets I picked up when I visited my brother in LV this past June. Some were Xmas gifts I hadn’t received yet, but the carnivorous plants one was my own pickup at the Lego store.

I’m not supposed to have dairy or gluten but I will literally poison myself for a good tiramisu

Finally catching up on overdue taxidermy.

My bird is almost done (he needs a few more strands of beads that’ll go on tonight when the others are glued in), my 10+ year old king rat finally has a proper base glued in last night, and I’ll get around to my Easter bunny this weekend.

My friends salvaged a huge lot of backdrops and murals painted throughout the 1900s in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and theatrical productions. I was able to purchase one off them (the one in the photo is their staged shot, not my house).

Now to begin restoration, sealing & hanging in my house.

Looks like I’m going to Flipside in May.
