This fought me for the better part of a year. I got angry with scale, trudged through her colors, and I’m still not sure about her. But be kind to her, we’ve been through a lot together. // “Beginning”

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

I have been incapable of doing any sort of creative work work but I got 4 shiny vulpixes, a shiny scyther, and a shiny charcadet all in one weekend in Pokemon Violet, and cleared up a ton of space in Pokemon Home

I am devoid of creative will, but little pixels WILL be moved around

Wrote a lil bit reflecting on the dumb trope of the suffering artist, and how much I missed selling my art open.substack.com/pub/martirol... #baltimore #makersmarket #queerscape #artscape #asianorth
making again
Local small markets are a lot of work, but are honestly the coolest experiences.

Writing down your values feels cheesy and self-aggrandizing but I do think it's helpful in creating a safe working environment for myself and whoever I'm working with

So I'm writing more now, and I have a substack. This latest post is reflecting on habits I've formed that help during unemployment, and hopefully someone will find it helpful too.

What platforms do people use to write nowadays? I'm looking for something that's not terribly long-form, but a platform like Blue Sky would probably be too short-form.

Is it Substack? Medium? A blog you built yourself? 👀

☁️ Soft reminder ☁️ to make something with your hands. Anything. Doesn’t have to be “pretty” or presentable. You don’t have to be “creative.” You don't have to post it. It’s about the Doing of the Thing, not the thing itself.

Hooo this is a long time coming. Hey bluesky 👋 Designer, #CSS engineer, and silly sticker maker here. Portfolio for the stuff that pays the bills is michellemartir.com

I'm also planning on doing some writing now, so expect to see me be a bit more active here 🏃‍♀️
