I swear I've been searching the Internet to know the secret of how to declutter without actually having to take anything out of my house today, and I don't think it's possible. 😅

I've started to play a bit with digital collage using my own photography and gel prints. I ended up using Sketchbook for Android, not sure if that's my best option for Android or not, but it did work just fine for my purposes. Looking forward to playing with this technique more... #digitalcollage

It almost seems cinematic.

Book page gel prints… I'm never sure how to handle these… It looks so finished on it's own, but so fragile. So, do I mount it to something? Do I scan and make digital prints? Argh! Decisions!

I knew I had some cool #round art kicking around today for the #BlueSkyArtShow prompt today, but I'd completely forgotten about this digital collage composition made from some photographs and gel prints. #gelprint #digitalcollage

If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally. Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help. The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there. It will help your heart.

I made a little family of "trash bunnies" to bring with me to the couple of flea markets I have before Easter. I was originally going to use the bottle and such as a "skeleton" of sort underneath some sculpting clay, but I like them much better made entirely out of trash.

I keep getting hung up on the question of what should I do if I want to sell my art so badly that I sometimes forget to work on the art. 😅

I've been avoiding scrollable socials lately in favor of working on my own art, but then forgetting to check in because I don't want to be tempted to scroll. It's kind of a vicious cycle.

A doom pile of collage paper to be processed.

Parking lot reflections.

A conversation with @chrisbrogan.bsky.social has me down a rabbit hole of looking at old photos. This was a gear room I was in once in NYC.

It's a good thing I'm not a mean person by nature because the urge I have to troll every bra influencer I encounter for not knowing what the fuck she's talking about while giving the air of expertise is very fucking high.

Dunno who needs to hear this but, I'm quite sick and tired of the class confusion that people on the left seem to have. Are you a left leaning white collar worker with enough money in your bank account that you're living comfortably?

So... I soft launched my website last night. nikkiana.art

Palate cleanse. Sound ⬆️

It snowed. Heck, it's still snowing.

This is “Six of Cups (Cherishing Memories at Big Spring Park)” it’s going for a dip in the waters of Big Spring on Tuesday.

I'm back to working on the paper mache bookshelf I started last winter, and have gotten the bulk of a second layer on at this point. It's nice to have a somewhat mindless project that just requires gluing paper together. #diy #papermache

My mind and heart feel fried/scrambled. But I am trying to lean into being creative anyway. 5in x 5in Mixed media on clayboard. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #ArtistsOnBlueSky #BlueSkyArtShow #AbstractArt #Painter #Artist #WomensArtBlueSky #AbstractArtist #BlueSkyArt

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...
