I may feel like absolute garbage but found a new GF chocolate donut recipe the fam has dubbed “bangin”—subbed in hazelnut butter for almond butter and 😋 recipe: bakeitpaleo.com/chocolate-zu...

Find Bam Bam! Last seen in NW PDX. Terrified of hands, but sucker for a peanut — here’s hoping the parrot & its person are soon reunited.

What’s keeping me going this summer? Berries, lots of berries. Oregon summers are bursting with roadside & alleyway fruit; I’ve been foraging and making treats to share with friends … a little something sweet can make a surprisingly big difference in one’s day 💜

She rollin’ with glee. Why? Pretty sure it’s the plentiful 🐰 poo 😂

Fantasy wardrobe, Rahul Mishra F/W 2025 edition. I’m getting Klimt vibes, would die to dramatically descend a staircase in one of these gems

Insomnia reading, Matt Hai/Comfort Book edition: “Happiness occurs when you forget who you’re expected to be. And what you’re expected to do. Happiness is an accident of self-acceptance. It’s the warm breeze you feel when you open the door to who you are.”

Finished this new, larger scale mixed media piece, Language to Flow Like a River. 24”x36” on canvas, a drifting lazy river of language lost and found against a sea of deepest black

“precipice” — a 9”x12” mixed media collage piece on cradleboard, if you’re feeling a little on edge 🖤

And in other “not bad” news, spotted some teensy blackberries, already ripe in my neighborhood

“at what cost” — new poppy, abstract, bright mixed media collage on board. In summer, I always want to play with color 🙃💖✨

Decent crowd (I’d guess 500-1,000?) out in PDX’s southeast suburbs. Keep showing up—it matters, and you matter. 🖤

A float of yellow-green obscures my words, gentle, hopeful, in this collage: “see | me” — part of an ongoing series exploring transient aphasia from migraine

Very occasionally, I write a newsletter about my art & where to find it. After months, here are some updates! open.substack.com/pub/pastedto...

Some helpful (if unhinged) ideas to get stuff done, via Mason Currey’s newsletter. I’m particularly drawn to playing “race the edible” and trying “wench hour” 😂 open.substack.com/pub/masoncur...

Reading “On Vanishing: Mortality, Dementia, and What It Means to Disappear” by Lynn Casteel Harper. Provocative (if a little intense) 🤯 #booksky

Sometimes you just wanna cut out lots o’ mouths and paste ‘em on the loveliest pastel purple poster. A tip a the hat to @hopeamico.com for original print, now adorned with …. lips, teeth, mouths, mouths, mouths.
