Artist, mom, enjoyer of shenanigans.
I feel fulfilled. I no longer feel guilty about not drawing. I will pick it back up again during the winter months. Now is the time for veggie gardens and chickens and yard sales.

We don’t celebrate Easter so we were outside working on the yard. I was laying in my kid’s outdoor tent cuddling her and listening to the birds. I thought with all the shit in the world, at least I have this right here, right now.

Having a smoke and a drink on the porch tonight in the breeze. It feels nice.

Need friends over next time for sure 🙂

I setup a tent for my daughter with plushies and pillows and my mom saw it and said to her, “wow! Everything your heart desires!” And the tone felt a bit chastising and I thought “no, everything MY heart desires!” I want her to experience the childhood joys that I wish I had and that’s not spoiling.

Needs some touch-ups but hey, at least it’s not fucking AI!

I’m trying, guys.

I’ve been beating myself up for not drawing and then I realized that I’ve been under constant anxiety basically since the election so… yeah. I guess that’ll do it.

Last time was “Captain Thunderpantz”

This is the name I put Michael’s food pickup order under 😜

Stop doomscrolling, stop buying stuff you don’t actually need, donate to people in need, delete your Amazon lists and buy local. Not everyone can stand at the picket line to fight so fight however you can. We will survive this.

I’m sitting on the toilet and my daughter comes in and puts a hat and necklace on me. I’m not sure but I think I’m the Emperor now.

I’m so excited to do some cooking! I went to the local Asian grocery store and bought all kinds of sauces, marinades, soup bases, dried shiitake mushrooms and noodles. I haven’t been there in ages.

Now that I’m feeling better I can get back to what matters- making sock puppets for my daughter.

Norovirus is going around and it kicked the ever-loving shit out of me. Never been sicker in my life. This close to calling an ambulance bad. CT scan of my abdomen showed everything inflamed from the virus. Been sick since 8am and at the ER for about 4 hrs. God, water never tasted so good.

I tweaked an older drawing. The reference for this is from a black and white photo of Otto Seppalainen. I loved his intense eyes. I feel like it still needs something or something is a little off?

Omg nobody told me how cute these sets are! They have bunnies and penguins and sheep with little houses, a restaurant, and a clinic and so much more. Ahhh!! 😍 I love these. I got Faye this set. I’m going to live out my childhood dreams with my daughter.

Faye loves watching Spidey and his Amazing Friends on Disney. What’s her takeaway? She’s running around shouting, “I’m the Green Goblin!” You sure are, kiddo.

I love how mundane things become bonding time for Faye and I. She loves to help out, especially in the kitchen. Tonight, I had her pull the stems off the cherries and sort them into bowls. Seeing her delight in something so small warms my heart.

“That’s the perfect chocolaty brown!”

“Thanks! It’s a slippery slope to poop brown.” 💩

Fun fact: Baby birds often ‘gape,’ opening their mouths wide to signal hunger. Parents feed them by regurgitating food until they’re weaned and learn to eat on their own. 🐥🍽️🦜 BLACK FRIDAY MERCH HERE

Holy cow! As of today, Faye 3’2”! She’s still a few months away from being 3 yrs old too! I predict she’ll be at least 5’8” when she’s grown, and that’s what the calculation from the Mayo Clinic comes out to, but it’s not set in stone. I would not be surprised if it’s closer to 5’10”.

I’m glad I revisited this portrait! My Great Aunt, who is an accomplished artist and has done many, many pet portraits suggested it would look better if I took the drawing all the way to the bottom of the canvas. She was right! Her mind was blown when I told her about drawing digitally.

Working on a new kitchen windowsill setup. My goal for spring is to grow more fresh herbs in the kitchen where I won’t forget about them 🙃
