If you would like a specific watercolor heart, you will need to message me by tomorrow with the row letter and column number 1-6 (some only have 4). I will do what I can to accommodate you. Otherwise random hearts are available on my Etsy.

I cannot guarantee that these will arrive before Valentine’s Day because of the apocalypse and such but if you order today they will be at the post office tomorrow morning and a little extra heart is good any day! They are $4, postage included, and will be sent in a red envelope.

Is this funny?

That’s what I should call my redbubble.

With and without audience printed on all sorts of things.

Inspired by this

I made this! (Murble ordered some shirts from my redbubble)

I didn’t fall asleep until 6am and woke up a little before 2pm. I am a mess. Look what I figured out to do with one of my paintings during the deep dark lonely night-

Certainly of quality to burn (I’m not going to burn it)

I’m going to tell you about my project since I can’t do anymore until my dad brings the last piece of wood I need. This isn’t the project I should be doing but it’s the one that is getting done. When I was around 19 I was helping a friend prep for a garage sale and she had a plant stand that my parents had when I was a baby. Probably everyone had that plant stand in the late 70’s but I thought it was a cool coincidence and my friend let me have it. I was in a phase where I wanted to paint things. Useful things so if it wasn’t great painting it was still a useful thing. I painted the stand and hated it. I knew I should repaint it. I knew I could do better. Murble took it to her classroom. A teacher friend immediately claimed it for her classroom and kept it for years until she retired. She heard that I hated it and when she returned it to me she made me promise that I wouldn’t repaint it. She died several years ago so I think I kept my vow.

For the past year I’ve been thinking, “I should repaint that planter. Even if I’m donating it or garage saleing it. In needs fresh paint.” I picked a color from pots of paint that I have been carrying across the nation for a couple decades. I know I used this color on something in my home in Phoenix but I cannot remember what. It is a pain to paint. All angles and shadow. As I was painting it I was thinking, “if I added a top it would be more useful.” I had one piece of scrap big enough. I cut it and stained it and added popsicle stick guides to hold it in place. “If I made a liner the new container could hold things better.”

I made a basket yesterday following a good tutorial but I was unsure about dimensions. So I made another one this morning with a much better understanding of how to get what I needed.

I’ll add a solid bottom shelf and some feet next week

Now I’m going to fill myself with pizza rolls and booze.

I worked on many things yesterday. I like this thing but I worked on it so long I feel hungover.

I was so dizzy today. But I managed to get Faf to go on a little walk with me and I didn’t pass out! And then I took a flower study class. Actually only part of it so far. I really like this instructor but she’s about to do something tricky that my brain can’t absorb tonight. Plus in the middle of the class I stopped watching and messed around on my own and did the spray paint flower scatter thingie.

Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Super Wow Moon tonight

~ Friday night ~

I have been drawing components of things for over a week. I’ve been absolutely lost in it. Eventually the components will fit together into lots of different projects but so far I haven’t had time to make them into things. The coloring book I’ve been working on, that I’m not even sure if I can print (and bind well) myself or do digitally (well) myself has consumed me. It needs five more drawings to be finished. So that’s probably another week. And I should add some words, shifting to that part of the brain is probably another week. I printed out what I’ve done already and it’s really good. *I* fucking love it. But I am likely the entire audience. I think that leaving the project half finished would be worse for me than being lost in drawings that probably can’t feed or shelter me. So I’ll let myself keep doing this for awhile. Free shrugs.

My mom (and I suspect my dm) bought things from my redbubble which means I will actually get paid something this month. It feels incredible but also daunting.

Look at the dream fort pillows my mom bought. She doesn’t even know about the dream fort. She also sent me a picture of the super potato desk mat which is more spectacular than I could have imagined but it was already on her work desk so I won’t share that one.

So, I guess those are the updates. I am exhausted and can’t stop drawing. How are you?

Things that are making me laugh today. COSMIC SLICE.

my Redbubble

I got pulled down a Goblin hole yesterday. I’m not sure if I’m drawing at a proper resolution. I’m not sure if this effort will add up to anything I can use. But I am sure I love her face.

I’ve made a Redbubble and have been adding things every few days. Check it out if you are into that sort of thing. More designs and different sites that I have been working on will be rolling out shortly.

A short story- I did a test piece of a rainbow and a cloud with the words “in this pandemic?!?” Just to figure out redbubbleness but then it was the perfect image for the clock and the duvet and the face masks and nearly everything. So now it is A THING. I was laughing for two days straight.

The top piece was the finished floral study for a procreate watercolor class I took. The instructor’s drawing. And over the past two days I’ve been going nutty doing line drawings of my own floral photos and importing them and situating them to try to do my own digital watercolor bouquet. Hopefully in something that feels like my style. I’m still having trouble with layers. Free shrugs. It was a good class.
