Hmm I am a liar. One more post of avoidance. I like seeing them all together. Missing… several. Gave a few to authors at events. Several to friends for birthdays. And several for commission pieces. So. 🥴 I know it’s good. lol

Okay last one for the night because I have to paint another book and me posting is me avoiding doing that because AuDHD… I also need to grab this gift back from my friend so I can take a good video of it and not… a chaotic making of video 🫠🥴

The owner of @pageturnerbooks.bsky.social grabbed this giant old book and was like this could be fun to paint. It was. It was also a BEAST.

Oldie but makes me happy and I gave this to @chucktingle.bsky.social at his book signing. So that makes me happy. Now to go to a @ceejthemoment.bsky.social and a @delilahsdawson.bsky.social event to give them one of theirs! It’s like collecting Pokémon but… giving them art books? 🤷🏽‍♀️

And another one

Catching up on my….. extensive backlog of books I have to get done. Here is my friends book.

I love that when I meet authors…I still have zero social awareness and chill and filter. Thanks AuDHD 🥴 It does result in excellent signed books 😬 The reference was… I finished I was a teenage Slasher and the first thing I texted my friends was that I was sending @sgj.bsky.social a 🖕🏼 in a PB jar

@sgj.bsky.social okay. At your event right now at the library. WHAT WAS THE LINE ABOUT JADE THAT GOT TAKEN AWAY?!? You can’t leave us hanging like that I’m dying! Also I’m working on painting those books so…. What if it helps the edges!

Friends gift.

Completed after the author talk ( @sgj.bsky.social ) for my two friends ( @kaylareadshorror.bsky.social and Cristi) . Their signed copies 😀 I only put on it what was discussed at the author talk though I need to figure out where to hide a SpongeBob 😂😂 or plain chicken tacos… or both 😂

Completed edges. And I gave it to Them at the author talk 😀 love doing these

5/5 ⭐️ @sgj.bsky.social hurt my feelings as usual. Absorbing Mongrels or The Babysitter Lives/Killer on The Road next. Can't wait to cry more.

A fun author event 😊 started and finished painting this right before..😅 just in time to give to @sgj.bsky.social When I read his other books I saw my younger self/experiences in Jade. Those books are next. iniiyi’taki -Ainihkiwa #bookart #paintededges #sprayededges #buffalohunterhunter

Final result of #buffalohunterhunter that I painted for the Author event with @sgj.bsky.social to gift. Him talking about aunties hitting him upside the head made me laugh. Shared experience there 😂. #bookart #paintededges #sprayededges

Another gift for a friend #paintededges #bookart #books #art I’m never going to figure out how to film this 😂

Recently asked what my ‘hot girl summer’ looks like… I guess this?

New edges. Again. 😬 it’s my summer break so I am leaning into my art. I LOVE this book by @chucktingle.bsky.social . This one healed bits of my religious trauma. Bookclub pick for @pageturnerbooks.bsky.social tomorrow 😍🔥 #paintededges #bookart #books #book #chucktingle #tingle #campdamascus

Finished another one 🎉😍 The first edges I ever did was a @delilahsdawson.bsky.social book (guillotine) I read this one 1st, the ideas for this art has been in my notes for SO LONG. I am so happy with it 😍😍😍 if you have not, READ IT!!!! #paintededges #books #amazingbook #art #bookstagram #bookart

New edges completed (almost I want to flesh out the green fog/paint & the wine fountain) this is a birthday gift 4 @kaylareadshorror.bsky.social. This is a book by @jasonkpargin.bsky.social anyone want to guess what book? #paintededges #book #art #bookart #booklover

Summer hit, no longer having to be in teacher mode. I get to be creative again :)

We have an important update on Clive.......... #skeleton #news #update #bookstore #independentbookstore #books

Realized the other day… when I am ‘unmasked’ I am unhinged as all hell. Then when some of my top authors have responded to my posts I turn into this adorable little shy cartoon me like: I’VE NEVER MENTIONED MURDER AND BLOOD 172126x at @nomsbookclub.bsky.social while discussing your book what murder?

So I LOVE @casskhaw.bsky.social their books are on my list of just unhinge enough to keep me less feral in the real world. I got the ARC of the new one: I LOVE. And not just because I have several questions about the dedication. Working on painting the edges now. Can not WAIT to buy it and redo.

Another painted book, I am notoriously bad at social media-ing. So do not expect great things with my film skills 😬 Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social If you haven’t read it: READ IT I love a tingle (horror). The way I DEVOURED the ARC of Lucky Day (will post that painted edge as well)

Slowly going to add all the books I’ve done 😍 adding this one since tonight we (@nomsbookclub.bsky.social) are discussing Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social I have not painted this one yet, I will this weekend ;) but I DID paint another that BROKE MY FREAKING HEART I Was a Teenage Slasher
