"I’m not washing any dishes today," Moominmamma said hilariously. "Who knows, perhaps I’ll never wash dishes any more?" ― Tove Jansson, Moominsummer Madness

Tiny Spring Diaries 🌿🖼️🌸 Museum & garden date youtu.be/9HgY0YoeQqA

We report: our expert was tracking the path of the sun through the sky all day long, and even now that it has set, they cannot let it go. The estimation, at the moment, is 3, maybe 4° below the horizon. We hope that we will manage to take them home when it gets fully dark.

I just published a blog post that was supposed to be a little life update but turned into a big sad brain dump about the state of the internet and the future of my small business. 🙃 🌼 www.patreon.com/posts/life-lately-158314494 🌼

We report: the rain comes and goes in large curtains that seemingly fall all at once. In between, the air is thick and warm, and we move through as though it were molasses. There is that smell of ozone again, instantly recognisable. We keep away from the trees.

Dernier jour pour en profiter ! 💛 Happy sunday. :)

1) I opened a Neocities account. 2) I'm coding for the first time in 20 years. 3) I'd forgotten how much fun coding can be. 4) I am SO excited to create my own custom website and to join the Neocities and indie web community! 🥹

Early Moomin sketches by Tove Jansson. ✏️

We report: May is, so far, colder and wetter than April had been, which is something we had hoped for. Smelling leftover rain suspended in the air is an essential experience to our concept of spring. And then anyway, the sun emerges last second, so we may all be content.

This right here. I know art is a “luxury” and when people can’t afford even the basics, it’s understandable that they aren’t spending money on art stuff. So if you still support artists in these though times, know how much we all appreciate it. (And don’t feel bad if you can’t.)

We report: the sunset lures us outside. We huff and puff a little, but we put our shoes back on, and as soon as we see more of the sky, we know it was worth it. We walk up the street to look for the horizon, accompanied by a jackdaw. The colours slowly leech out.

April | Week 3-4 #dailydrawing

I *may* have created a Moomin fan account. 👀 This should satisfy my need to share Tove Jansson quotes in everything I write and post by doing it in one place instead of spamming everyone in my newsletters and blog posts. 🤭

“It certainly promised to be a fine day. Everywhere befuddled little creatures just woken from their long winter sleep poked about rediscovering old haunts, and busied themselves airing clothes, brushing out their moustaches and getting their houses ready for the spring.“

Happy #Caturday from the queen herself (this is her throne from Spring to Autumn). ✨

Day 16 #repostyourart 🎨 Colorful @byjessicaelena.bsky.social I tend to use more colours in my sketchbook than I do when I draw digitally. This is one of my favourite sketchbook spreads (I drew it in this YouTube video: youtu.be/MyPXle-lpwo). 🌊
