Honestly, nothing makes me want to die more than how expensive it is to be alive.

It's been awhile since I've taken a Saturday at home... What am I supposed to do with myself? 😅

I need to figure out what to do for work this winter...

I didn't know I always wanted a space age cover of Bread's The Guitar Man, but Anthony J. Resta delivers. youtu.be/x0Ywn23TB08?... #NowPlaying

At the beach today. I love it in the off season. // Photography, OM System OM-3 , 45-200mm lens.

When there's nothing else to photograph, look down. #photography #shoegazing #reflections #water #trees

Something I've been committed to changing in my online behavior is to scroll through my social media feeds less and go direct to people's profiles more. So far, I find it's made being online much less stressful!

I'm trying to anyway...

One of the things about being a mixed media artist is that the tendency to get little paper bits just about everywhere is just kinda inevitable. This was made out of floor scraps that I picked up today. #collage #art #mixedmedia

This song was a whole mood... youtu.be/_ZFraNRCHSA?...

I was feeling a little bit stuck on making circles, so I changed it up to hearts tonight. #diecutting #gelliprinting #collagefodder

Izzy always needs to be a part of everything, including cutting out florals. #cats

I'm deep in the midst of the obsession with these little glass and gel print scrap thingies that I don't really know what to call them. I keep making more and more...

It's only been the first week since my seasonal job ended and I'm already losing track of what day it is. 😂

Playing around with an idea for gelli print scraps... I got a jar of those little glass pebbles that you'd put in a vase and glued little bits of paper to the bottom... Might make good magnets? Hmm....

This little guy looks so happy.

I decided to hang up some of my more commonly used paints over top of my gel print station and this is turning out to be a huge game changer! I can see them, I can grab them and put them away quickly, and they're no longer taking up valuable space on the counter!! #artstudio

These green and yellow gel prints were kind of delightful accidents. Neither of them pulled particularly cleanly, but I think it added a lot of interest that wouldn't have otherwise been there. #gelliprinting #gelprinting

My summer job is a wrap for the season, and now I'm home battling a cold that came on as soon as I was done. Not exactly how I wanted to start my time off. 🙄

Playing around with using embossed paper to make designs on the gel plate... #gelliprinting

Somehow it feels right to have rushed from a gig in the midcoast to Gary Numan's show in Portland, ME... complete with detours from accidents and melting down over being late all the way to arrive exactly one minute early for the opener. How delightfully and completely autistic of us. 😂

Cutting circles today... I'm sure they'll be useful later. 😂 #gelliprinting #diecut

I've been rather into die cutting recently. I picked up a second Sizzix Big Shot at a thrift store recently, so I now have one at home and one that I can take on the road with me. Snapped this shot of a scrap sitting on a keyboard, and had some editing fun.

If you happen to be in Portland, Maine tonight, come dancing with me at Blue! All three bands are awesome! #portlandme #portlandmaine #MaineMusic

Made a gelli print paper strip collage tonight. I don't love it. I don't hate it. I'll probably do more to it. Maybe I'll try this a few more times to see how I feel. #collage #gelliprinting #mixedmedia

I suddenly remembered I had a YouTube channel that I'd edited a video for back in June and then just didn't voiceover it... Until today. Wanna see some gelli prints I made in June? youtu.be/bUKHWJFo5So?... #gelliprinting #art #collagepapers

If you're in the Portsmouth, NH area this weekend, I recommend hearing protection if you go outside... I encountered the Blue Angels practicing yesterday and my ears are still ringing.

Face to face. #bees #draw #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #ArtYear

I'm in the middle of the summer slump. I haven't been creating art. I haven't been online much, and when I have... I've been consuming short form video content to unwind. I've been on the road a lot, working a few days a week.

Latest piece inspired by how the world feels right now. Gonna add some textural elements later but overall pretty happy with this one! #gelliprint #gelliprinting #publicdomainreview #fascism #burnout

#TheMidnightRiders are pumped to be playing the #JohnsonHall concert series in Waterfront Park in Gardiner next Friday August 8th 6-7:30PM! Come on out its right on the Kennebec River and a lovely venue for all ages. Stoked to have Sam Yawdik on Drums! #Music4Mainers #AltCountry #RootsRock #NoKings

It's one of those days where my brain and body are restless and in pain, and I feel like I can't manage much... But I can manage adding white dots to things, and I think that's enough today. #mixedmedia #artyear

I offer some thoughts on creative energy this week and where mine comes from: misty.granades.com/2025/07/01/c... #ArtBlog #ArtBlogger #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtYear #OnlyBeautifulThings

I was today years old when I learned I could just plug a keyboard into my phone and type on it like it's a computer. I figured I'd tell you in case you ever need to type fast on your phone.

I'm still trying to convince myself to do the voiceover for my next video, but if you'd like to see some of my gelli prints, I flip through a bunch of them on my last video! youtu.be/Hg4p5jrWbuc?... #gelliprinting #gelliprint #gelprint #gelprinting #monoprint #artyear
