hypernormalisation

Three months post surgery now and I finally feel more like myself again. Still getting some aches if I overdo it but the energy levels are creeping up. So grateful I had it.

Man this surgery recovery is tedious AF. I think I've been waiting for it so long to help, it feels like it should be an instant fix but instead I'm sore, and just as exhausted but hurting in different new ways. It'll pass. But it's real slow and frustrating. Tired.

First pinch pot: ermmmmm Second pinch pot: oh! Better

Right, because I've now seen misunderstandings of this enough times that it's got me worried that people don't know this - transgender people in the UK are protected by the Equality Act 2010 under the category of gender reassignment. *That* was not under discussion today and hasn't changed.

When I’m really stressed I crochet a moss blanket. My bed is starting to be covered with them. I don’t know what that tells you about the state of the world but it’s not good.

Tried my friends iPad and procreate and it's sooooo much better than my 2012 wacom tablet. Who'd have guessed 😅 This was a 1-2 hour life study of some dying dafs on our coffee table. #digitalart #painting #digitalpainting #stilllife

Platonic love is underrated. I love my friends so much

2 hour ish study of my friend sitting in the shade in Corfu, oils on canvas Not perfect but I haven't painted in a while so I'm happy to be doing something and not thinking too hard about it. #oilpaints #art #landscape #oilstudy #corfu #greece

A reminder for these times.

YOUR TINGLEVERSE SENTIENT VEHICLE DREAM DATE HAS ARRIVED LETS FIND OUT WHAT THE STARS HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU BUCKAROO

A big thank you to @folkpersons.bsky.social for the art. So evocative!

Mural time! 4 degrees, paint cooperated against all odds, base coat. Done. Brick is LUMPY so clean lines are gonna be interesting. Can't wait to get my art up 😀 #muralart

This is how I cope with the state of the world

Listening to Simon and Garfunkel vinyl while painting insects on an overcast day is exactly how I want to spend every Monday. My soul needed this.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. Government.

These two posts back to back were the perfect morning pep talk for me this morning. My goal today is to channel a little bit of @soundoftheforest.bsky.social, to have the audacity to believe I can make the thing. Once it exists, THEN I can work to refine it.

I just tested all my wall paints for the school mural I'm painting and I'm obsessed they're so rich and intense and mixed absolutely perfectly I'm FIZZING I wanna go #muralpainting #muralart #babysfirstmural might be my tag for this project hahaha

Behold the most poisonous butterfly, Papilio antimachus or the African giant swallowtail. It has a lot of cardiac steroid toxins from eating the leaves of Strophanthus gratus. DON’T EAT THIS BUTTERFLY.

A rare winter 30-min painting from me. I should do more... but... I'm a painter of spring and summer... #art

every few days i remember i am disabled and get so depressed by the fact that i pushed myself so much for so long to the point of burnout and losing my passion because of pure stress and exhaustion…my point is, be kind to yourself every day

Slowly gonna post some old art to here: Belugas, 2020, oil on card, a gift for a friend (approx A5) #belugawhale #beluga #whales #oilpainting #oilpaints #art

Bloody heck, muraling is expensive 😅🥺😧 I charge materials to the client but ouch, large quantities of paint are spenny and I shopped around a LOT to make it less so! super excited to paint a mural tho, absolutely. Just praying my body is nice to me that week 😊

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

There are very few times in history where the government making a list of people has ended well for the folks on the list.

"In nothing is the power of the Dark Lord more clearly shown than in the estrangement that divides all those who still oppose him." ~Haldir "The Lord of the Rings" Stay focused on maintaining connection and kinship in your communities, y'all. It's the foundation of resistance.

My delayed emotional processing is kinda hitting today over all the facist awfulness happening and just The world And everything feels incredibly bleak And I know, community community help each other. But it also just hurts

Today and in the coming days, remember

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting. There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities. Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

If you say autism made him do that to my face, prepare to get kicked in the dick. My autism will make me do that.

9 years ago I needed a mahl stick for painting. I ended up using the handle of an old dollar store butterfly net I bought as a child. There is something poetic about still using it after all these years to paint insects.

I'm sobbing because the NHS But have my cat, bean

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

More lino cutssssss. I'm really not a fan of "easy cut lino" it's so wiggly when printing it just bends. I'd rather do my wrist in on the hard stuff, much cleaner result. But it's what I got so. #botanicalprints #botanicalart #britishwildflowers #nettles #cowparsely
