#PortfolioDay As a paper artist I look to see where I would make cut lines if I was doing a layered paper piece. I do these studies by drawing over pics with a limited palette of color (5-8 tones) and deciding at what point a color should break. I could draw these reference but that’s not the point.

My four eye studies from the series The Heart Killers. Realized I hadn’t shared them here.

Wheel of Time, y’all. I loved those books as a teen and then hated those books in my 20s and spitefully finished the books in my 30s. And now? In my 40s? The show is giving me everything I never could have imagined it could be. The queer is text. It is so much better than the source material. 🤯

Decided to do some quick eye studies with limited palette. Thought I’d do my favorite vampire family. Each one probably took like 20-30 mins? Enjoy!

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead.

You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

Every time my energy company emails me trying to get me to join the gamification of our power grid by ranking me against my neighbors I’m reminded we live in the lamest dystopia.

Reading straight romances is so confusing. Which one of them is the mech pilot? Which one of them is the handler? I don't get it.

Today’s progress on a piece many years in the making. 🧡

Been having a cat 5 hurricane of a week with elder care but had some downtime to finish up this drawing.

My gremlin cats being weird little dudes.

I only have one playlist that I constantly switch up with music I’m in the mood for at any given time. I’ll remove songs when I’ve skipped them a few times. I call it “Current”.

My partner carefully curates meticulous scores of playlists for mood and vibes. I think I must confound and confuse him.

I love painting my nails. I love sparkly shiny glittery things. My little magpie brain can’t get enough.

Butters is experiencing an existential moment. Please keep her two brain cells in your thoughts.

This can’t be comfortable. Why she sleep like this?

Show me your pet and what they’re named after.

Some little pieces of illuminated art to start this off on a positive note.
