I've been feeling crappy about having frizzy hair but I realized yesterday that in the last year I've had nearly 40 electrodes glued to my hair and ripped off. So now I feel less bad but I'm also embracing the need for a haircut.

Just wrapped up my second sleep test, this time it was overnight plus all morning and most of the afternoon. I got 100% on my nap test, which is a bad thing but I have to wait for an official review before I know why I'm such a sleepyhead. #brokenbrainclub

Art I made today. My alcohol marker class is coming up at @pushpullseattle.bsky.social and I think I did ok with this one so maybe come learn from me. Also gouache Kingfisher which is the bird with the best colors.

Our annual Book Club show opens this Saturday, featuring various works inspired by The Winged Histories by Sofia Samata. If you've read the book, come marvel at the cool art and connect pieces to the narrative! If you haven't, perhaps you'll be inspired to!

RSVP so you remember to come!

Tasked with making a cute print for a 2 year old, I was inspired by every toddler's favorite word. From screen printing class at @pushpullseattle.bsky.social

I made a postcard for @pushpullseattle.bsky.social inspired by what I wake up to on my pillow every morning.

I painted this pigeon months ago but it literally melted everything when I tried a new varnish. I listened to Seth today and stayed home to paint and here's where the second version is now.

I put rotting potatoes in the ground and I got edible potatoes in 2 months. Magic is real.

I am too exhausted for social media or news or *gestures at everything* but I painted this beach yesterday at @pushpullseattle.bsky.social for the Acrylic Landscape Class so that's a thing. 🤷‍♀️🏖

Bernie says it's time for a general strike so we can get back to worrying about important things, like if he's getting enough cuddles

Things are ROUGH. Here's some irises you can see and draw with me at Botanical Sketching with @pushpullseattle.bsky.social on Friday because it's the best way I know to escape the mess.

Is it the mental illness or is it the medication you just upped for it? Yay! Please allow me to just cry on the couch all night while I figure it out.
Bi Polar #1 means it's the best one... right... right?
