Loved seeing all the femmes out with their cute Valentine’s fits last night. 💕

The one and only, Ilya Rozanov. 🏒 #HeatedRivalry #watercolors

I can’t open my Threads app without seeing at least three conspiracy theories in my feed.

I’m so stoked Bridgerton S4 has East Asian representation in a period drama. It’s something I never see… Also, they opened the season with several shots that contained four Pomeranians. What’s not to love.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Oop, guess I'm a Sinner fan now. #tennis #AO2026 #art #acrylicmarker

Learning to use alcohol markers. So far, they're great at forcing me to carefully choose colors. #ohuhu #alcoholmarkers #art #artstudy

Can't say I've ever drawn someone poppin' off before, but that's what I get for using a tennis pro as reference! 🎾 #sketch #art #posca #acrylicmarker

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Not allowing me to swipe-to-navigate from my Instagram DMs to my feed (and vice versa) without being exposed to a targeted vertical video…. feels like dark UX. Maybe I’m just grumpy and old.

I sometimes feel guilt when purchasing excess art gear. However, I can safely say that I felt zero remorse when spontaneously buying the Gris and Arcane art books. Both are legendary, iconic examples of their craft. #art #games

Trying out alcohol markers. #ohuhumarkers #art

✏️ Portrait study.

been a minute since i posted on here, but i'm coming back with GOOD NEWS: #smashsisters RETURNS to @genesis.gg on saturday, february 14th 🩷💜 #GX3

I've accepted that group-travel abroad, with an anxious fluffball, is near impossible. That leaves solo-travel as the easiest viable path. With that said, my flights are booked for a watercolor retreat in Italy in the spring. 🇮🇹

Today was a nasally day. 👃🏼 #sketch #art #kohinoor #pencil

Took some time to make myself a swatch chart for Holbein’s Colored Pencils, Pastel Tones set this morning. Get the template here if you find it helpful: www.etsy.com/listing/4435...

I got fixative for the first time since college (?) and sprayed WAY TOO MUCH on my sketchbook. Oops. 😀

Playing around with 0.7mm pencils.

Silksong may or may not be leading to jaw pain due to clenching during play… 😬

A lot of learning and love went into this one. Can you guess who? #procreate

My 2025 #ArtVsArtist! This year was spent studying various mediums and their trade-offs: digital, gouache, alcohol markers, acrylic markers, watercolor, colored pencils.

JEEBUS, Silksong's movement mechanics. CHEF'S KISS. I cannot get enough.

Post-Christmas squats were a disaster.

An innocuous protein bar landed me in the ER with anaphylaxis two days ago. Time to check that off my bucket list and begin further allergen investigation… 😬

👎🏼 Seeing additional humans for holiday travel at the airport 👌🏼 Seeing additional dogs for holiday travel at the airport

INSTAGRAM STOP SWITCHING ALL MY NAV ICONS IN SUCH SHORT TIME PERIODS WITHIN EACH OTHER

Wanted a single-page swatch chart that was easily glanceable for my Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, so I made one. Realized how critical saving time is when producing art. If you want one, download it here: www.etsy.com/listing/4406... #art #fabercastell #polychromos

By chance, an allergist questioned my generic blood labs showing that I’m allergic to peanuts. And thanks to more precise testing, we’ve unlocked that I can eat processed peanuts. Here I come, dandanmian and mooncake. 🥜 (I’m not a doctor, do your own research and consult an allergist.)

Study done in Procreate.

Cloudfare...💥

Saturday’s digital doodle. Really liking how the shapes came out.

Still some nits to address, especially given I vibe-coded the navigation... but consider this the soft launch of my tidied-up site: lilchen.com.

Two notes from the weekend: 1. The FIA hates Lewis. 2. I’m happy that New York temps are dipping.

Doodle for the seasonal vibes.

Reminding myself to lean into the small joys.

Inspired after a week filled of intros to lovely people I get to jam with for the foreseeable future. Ya love to see it. 💕

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Practicing my tennis forehand feels like practicing l-cancelling all over again… I love it.

There’s been a pivot from full time art… Let’s call it part time, for now. 🙂

Bruh, I visited my family home recently and found this shirt. I’m pretty sure I designed it in my youth, but have no idea why and to whom it was distributed???

I have asked so many friends if they played this Coke MMO growing up and nobody ever knows what I’m talking about! FINALLY, screenshot evidence.

I think I love bodega cats.

Definitely experienced some designer-fright when I saw the background/contrast on this notification. 👻

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
