Huge thank you to all of you who stopped by to talk and buy art from me last Sunday at the 2025 Bellefonte Festival of the Arts.

"Excuse me, I apologize
He likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon, between your thighs
How’s that for gratitude, I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze”

-Placebo, “Lady of the Flowers”

library professional. I attended my first library conference on Friday and had to sketch some book nerd stuff. The second sketch is a little pen portrait of the keynote speaker, author Temim Fruchter @both_and_yes

I picked up the pastels again after a bit of a hiatus. Work in progress of a boo-doir sheet ghost.

I love when my collection of transgressive art bumper stickers gets weird looks from boring people in the cars behind me. On my way to work today, I noticed in my rear view mirror a couple mouthing and pointing.
I'll tag the artists in a bit.

Hey @bsky.app this guy just snuck out of his cage, hid under the coffee table, got chased for 10 minutes, then gave a look like "what's up?"

Women have been a source of strength for me my whole life. Beginning with the kickass women in my family and the feminine figures in my favorite books like The Secret Garden and Alice in Wonderland.

Anyone else's #chinchilla have a system worked out with their humans where when they want out of cage playtime they stand on their stuffies? No? Just me? This is life with Mr. Short Whiskers.

New 4 inch stickers just came in! These have never been available as a sticker before, and they're a nice 4 inch size. Perfect for car bumper stickers and notebooks/sketchbooks. 1- Luna Sheds A Tear Over This Burning Earth 2- The Wind. They'll be coming to my online sh0p and my retail spot soon.

Chihuly glass is so pretty, and it gets around! I first encountered pieces in Seattle/Tacoma, and saw another display on a separate trip to Montreal. Here is a photo of a Chihuly sculpture in front of the art museum in Montreal.

My refreshed green hair, be fringe, and red lipstick has me feeling like a badass lady in a post-punk band. Unfortunately, I can only poorly play a ukulele. But pretend this is my Rolling Stone spread circa 2002.

Sketchbook addition work-in- progress- Shoshanna from Inglorious Basterds. I've been thinking of burning celluloid film lately for some reason.

Capricorn (♑︎) is the 10th astrological sign originating from the constellation of Capricornus, the goat. Capricorn is symbolized by the sea goat. This imagery speaks to their bifurcated abilities: Capricorns are skilled at navigating both the material and emotional realms.

Thinking of the life and art of David Lynch today. The impact his work had on outsider art is unmistakable. Blue Velvet and Lost Highway were some of my favorites. He cut a path for others and inspired some of my favorite musicians, filmmakers, and artists. Rest in weirdnes.
