Mark your calendar! I'll be opening my garish art hole as part of LIC Arts Open May 16-17, 12-6p, 43-01 21st St 122A (right near the front door!) Other shows probably across the hall, other studios up some stairs, boo to my building refusing to use freight elevators.

I don't think I wrote much more than a 1 page statement about it, but it was an independent study project of 6 paintings of female nudes holding weapons that personified quark colors. bruesselbach.square.site/product/quar...

I'm so sorry I keep asking for help. I have moving expenses coming up really soon with bills and food that keep emptying out my account and I've been sick and stressed because of it all. I'm literally over $2000 short. even if you can just lighten the load with $5, please help me or commission me…

The last couple weeks of a pregnancy really feel like being a life support system that's simply easier than carrying and feeding the same baby on the outside.

I was naughty today and signed a painting I think may not actually be done. I've gotta slow down on this stuff

Love when I can make the mature choice in dealing with someone 20 years older than me who's behaving like a child. It's tempting to accompany unexpected, unobliged payment for bad services with a piece of my mind but it doesn't accomplish anything.

I cannot wait for "revealing my art" video content to die

I hate "radiator and AC are both on" season

I am SO grumpy today. Therapy was cancelled yesterday and boy did I need it. Like the monkey in the book I'm just putting it out there. Putting off doing things I might do too crankily.

My passenger is extending limbs into places I really didn't expect them. The bog is so floppy I'm like a loose suit.

hey everyone go to www.theyallsquad.org and if you have $1-10 to throw at this 501(c) some folks in the midwest are gunna be really needing their help in the next few days. It's one small way to help people directly affected by the bad storms today.

In exactly the medical state to be emotionally obliterated by that Pitt eclampsia case

If my work neighbor doesn't come get his taco bell in the next hour it's mine

I know yesterday was forever ago but "reginos" is gonna send me into labor Devs can't fucking spell

This return looks a lot like my own household's (except my spouse is only making Journeyman Bucks, not Assembly Bucks). At least every 5 years I have to report net income or I have to stop doing Schedule Cs for my art business.

what a delightful variety of error messages

And it doesn't even protect children.

Seeing pterodactyl there is taxonomically upsetting

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

Look there's nothing I can do about it but kvetch but I was really trying to console myself after giving up on a doctor visit by getting Jollibee and they didn't give me my ube pie OR upgrade my chicken sandwich to spicy deluxe.

*posting no gen AI directory* "What about people who don't have portfolios?" - uh, what? How is anyone supposed to know what their art looks like and hire them? "What about if I want art for free?" - draw your own? Go away? Either will work just fine

If more people learned hypnobirthing breathing techniques we would have way fewer hemorrhoids.

cis women transphobes are as embarassing as they are revolting because they will declare with their whole chest “I am less capable than a man and I demand you treat me accordingly by lowering your expectations!” girl shut the fuck up there’s no gender advantage in CHESS
