The paralyzing terror of the artist when she realizes she can no longer put off marketing herself.

[going through the details] oh shit, the devil's in here

Today I made my obligatory buy-organizational-containers-for-the-new-year purchase. I was overtaken by colored plastics and sale prices, so I guess I’ve done my part. Is my life together now? Happy new years, all.

I painted my first pet portrait as a gift for my sister. I was worried I wouldn’t do it justice, but I think I captured her pretty well. Kiki was a very precocious and adorable little tortie. Acrylic and collage on canvas. #petportrait #mixedmediaartist

Ok, Spotify is just straight up making up genre names after a night of having too many edibles and Cheetos.

Thoughts while falling asleep: What do zenomorphs eat, or do they? We have Alien 7 movies now (not counting v. Predator films), we see the aliens kill and use people as hosts, but never eat, right? #horrormovies #horror

Apparently, me telling a library customer over the phone that "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again" is unprofessional!

Self-care tip from Watson the cat: it’s always ok to take a nap. Tell your boss it’s for the sake of productivity. Remind your boss of your company’s BS mental health initiatives, and take a nap.

Louder, for the people in the back: I don't fight because I'm sure I'm going to win. I do it because I know that a world in which I don't fight will be worse.

Fuck this & everything it represents. Women should be rejecting this bullshit. Anyone promoting this idealization/fetishization and evoking "the economic and emotional fantasy that families, and especially women, can opt out of the complexity of modern society" can, like Araki said, "eat my fuck."

Everyone is talking about the Chicago Bears Arlington Heights stadium stuff, meanwhile I just found out what that intense thud I felt in my place earlier tonight was. For a moment when it happened I thought somebody drove a car into the building. This was 5 blocks away.

I revisited this painting recently to make some changes and I’m so much happier with it now. Which begs the question, is art ever really done? ‘Prickly,’ 20x14” mixed media on watercolor paper.

I had to leave the house to pick up winter coats from the dry cleaner, and I’m so smart I decided to tack on a few other errands so I wouldn’t have to run out again this week. 👍 I felt so accomplished and happy to get home until I realized… I forgot to stop at the dry cleaners. 🤦‍♀️ #adhdlife

My piece ‘What’s Mine?’ is included in the featured Surrealism collection at Vibrant Cast 🩷 24x48” mixed media on canvas.

My art studio is spilling into my dining room now. What else is a girl to do when her painting just needs some open table space. My studio is terrifyingly messy #artistproblems

Finished the Thai miniseries Don’t Come Home yesterday. It’s pretty, atmospheric, and tragic, and has elements of Dark and Haunting of Hill House. If you like horror sci-fi mysteries + interesting female characters, give it a watch. 👻🩷 (With subtitles, not the dub. 👍) www.imdb.com/title/tt3115...

As an artist and proponent of arts, it makes me pretty sad to see massive brands using squirrely-ass AI generated ads on TV. Blech.

Wouldn’t Barbie be so much cooler if she were an art fanatic? I went ahead and fixed some of her spaces with some fierce lady art given that she SUCH a feminist, right? 😝 *The art is mine, but the photos are not. Just having some fun. Where else could benefit from an art mockup? #homedecor #barbie

My art tends to have darker undertones, so I made a small set of mixed media paintings just going for positivity and a bit of absurdity. It’s safe to say I’ve gotten it out of my system. All things in moderation. #tradart

Nothing like a cat to give you cozy-envy.

I had an art-related horror movie night and watched The Visitor and Velvet Buzzsaw. Both were ALMOST good, VB won out for the satire and cast. The Visitor was just, yo, evil wins. VB was all, ‘consumerist classist art bad and tortured artist something something trope.’ I guess. #horrormovies

I’ve been fussing around with this painting for weeks. Anymore it’s so much harder to finish a piece than to start 15 new ones. I wonder what my therapist would say about that. 🧐

*sniffs around, glances around the corner. I think I might like it here.
