I sew very big things for work, using a fairly large sewing machine. Sometimes I sew big blue things, but mostly I just wanted to use that color on that day lol. Also not pictured are the three foot pedals, it's def not just one, oop. #sewing #indiecomic #autobiocartoon #journaling

For Pride Month in 2023, PJP shared perspectives from incarcerated writers on love, art and the politics of trans identity in prison.

Inspired by the classic exercise of painting blobs and drawing lines over top. One time at a jail I led a workshop with bw photo of clouds and had people trace what they saw. One guy was in disbelief that it was clouds and that the art was from his own imagination! 🥹 #art #inspiration #journal #cats

Cat says RroW MeRrrr - A celebration of cat moods. It's not a fancy journal by any means, but the uncoated pages are taking my watercolor washes and whiteout like a champ. Just a reminder that cheap art supplies can still be SO MUCH FUN! #indiecomic #journaling #artjournal #sketchbook #cat #art

Donate to the Prison Journalism Project and I will paint your own fur baby as a gift! They are doing great work for artists behind bars. #art #cat #catsofbluesky #furbaby #petart

CAT NiP vol 1 (formerly Journaling Inspo for Spoonies which is available as a free printable on my kofi shop). #artinspo #inspiration #journaling #cats #zine

Marbles and Sadie snuggle together more and more and it cracks my heart wide open.

For less than the price of a cup of coffee one can order a whole pot of tea at my local cafe I spent an hour brainstorming ideas with my tea, for a workshop I am leading at MAGfest next month, for Queer Witches with Disabilities. We will be playing a surrealist drawing game resulting in a zine!

Last night's kitty as a blue watercolor and as a flag with moon and stars. I did some journaling on this past year's creative efforts and realigned myself for next year's mission. This year was cat portraits and my Cat Nip zine (will share soon!) next year, CN vol 2! #watercolorsketch #illumination

A first attempt at illuminating! Excited for everything I want to do differently next try lol. Finn, for toymg8 on tiktok, who has been getting into performing mandolin recently! #Illuminatedmanuscript #illustration #drolleries #marginalia #doggo

The weirder marginalia in Medieval Manuscripts is called "the world turned upside down" and "drolleries". My bf said uncanny valley about my attempt to mimic these goofy drawings of animals playing instruments. But he said it wasn't a bad thing? What do you think? Silly or too weird? #illustration

What do you think of these two beebee's? I painted the final blue contrast on both last night. I'm excited to move on to my next illustration next, for an old friend who found me on tiktok! Sometimes algorithms are really cool like that. #watercolor #illustration #furbaby #eyebleach #cozy

Lucas suggested a houndstooth pattern and food when I asked for patterns and symbols for his hound dog illustration. LOL love a pun. Gotta figure out how I want to embolden certain line work, but so happy to share this update! #hound #dog #art #furbaby #watercolor #illustration #fountainpen

Ok this made me laugh out loud fr

I love seeing other folks' #artvsartist posts. These are mostly combos of blue & yellow! Home early from sewing job due to autoimmune flare, very achey and tired. Going to nap and hopefully make some art wrapped up in my heated blanket with cats nearby. #wAtercolor #art #drawing #cats #ink #dogart

Miriam kitty up on the coffee table, cuddling with the decor, leaves and lamp. Photo by my Auntie T at my Grangie's very cozy home. I still want to add some more blue wash to the tan I think, but not sure this paper will let me lol. Finally want to use actual #watercolor paper! #cat #art #sketchbook

Sent Mom a link to my video on Instagram and the auto generated link description suggests using AI generated art as a gift. Like my art is very real on paper with paint ink and pencil. This horrifies me. I am very anti AI art, especially stuff that pretends to be real physical art. #aisucks #aifail

It's weird trying to post multiple pictures in one post on Bluesky, so I made a video slideshow of the sketchbook I just finished. I hope you find the progress in a month and a half inspiring for your own art practice 🖌️ (Version 2) #petportraits #sketchbook #art #traditionalart #watercolor #drawings

Happy with this lil #sketchbook Yay! 🐈‍⬛ 🦜 There is still time to order a portrait of your critters for the holidays. The suggested price for a scanned image is $35 but this offer is sliding-scale so just hit me up if you are interested! 🌈 Art is such a stress relief, especially daily-ish lol # #art

Let me know how you like the blue outlines I have been using 💙 Or - Do you prefer the paintings that are only pencil and watercolor (like yesterday's Winston by the fireplace painting)? #sketchbook #australianshepherd #dog #art #watercolor #fountainpen #ink

Floofy lil ribbon dancer for @rootbeercomics on Instagram. Inspired by The World card in Tarot. My next phase is to include more backgrounds and in lieu of anything interesting, to substitute with symbols and or patterns. #tattooflash #cat #art #cartoon #dailyart #sketchbook

Winston came back in from the cold and basked in the warmth of the fire. Home at last. This painting is based on a photo from my Grangie who has always had many rescues, including one named Jacob. He was my best friend as an introverted kid. #cat #art #watercolor #sketchbook #petportrait #painting

This morning's drawing, from a photo sent in by @dskro on Instagram. I am in love with this composition and plan to have another go at it on loose watercolor paper outside of my #sketchbook How do you like the new blue #ink? #dogart #petportrait #fountainpen #watercolor #drawing #dog #art

Ziggy for @ahki_fuzzy on Instagram. Ziggy is a very smart pupper, and loves to learn new tricks. Apparently she keeps learning English words from her parents' convos, like she gets jealous when they say "aww" at their phones or TV bc she thinks there is a dog somewhere and she starts looking around!

I'm feeling very bored with my bodily drama today. Bored I tell you.

I never shared this because I wasn't sure how I felt about how Sadie looks. Now that it's well over a week old I think it's one of my stronger recent pieces. It's less technically accurate but I think that's part of her charm! #sketchbook #cat #colorplay #experiment

Kitty sent in from another friend from school, this bb with a fluffy white belly. I love cow patterned cats they're so cute 😭 #cat #art #dailydrawing #watercolorsketch

🖤 So black her fur shines blue 💙 Zelda for @Qrisee on Instagram, I shared the senior seminar with them in art school! #cat #inkbrush & #watercolorsketch in my tiny #sketchbook Still taking requests for pet portraits, if interested send or link me photos ☺️ feel free to request abstract or realism

This pupper is for an old friend from college, photographer @dorightfearnot on Instagram. I'm doing more accurate studies of doggos so I can ✨ stylize ✨ more effectively like I can do with the kitties. #traditionalmedia #petportrait #dogart #art

Norfolk Zine Fest was amazing! I offered people zines in trade for drawings and supplied notecards to doodle on. I was surprised and happy about how many people took me up on it, including a short person! Add in all the other trades & I have SO MUCH new art 🥹 so happy 🧾 #zines #publicart #community

Yesterday was International Transgender Day of Remembrance A cozy trans kitty for you, for still being with us today. #trans

🧵 🪡 I won't say I had a hard day at work, but I can say that I both had to use my seam ripper and also stabbed my other hand with it. Most days at my job as an industrial seamstress I don't use my seam ripper at all (the equivalent of an eraser). #sewing #industrialsewing

Puppers! Jasper's first deer bone, from a video sent in by Olivia @billyyolk on Instagram. She is a trip, a very unique artist yet with a folksy style. I like this style but the next step is actually doing a pencil sketch like I have been lately, under the #watercolors #traditionalart #labradoodle

This smol cat looks a little strange, doesn't she? So fun to paint this beautiful critter. I need a little tube of opaque white to touch up her collar ruffles but otherwise yay! 🦜 Beetle, she is a #conure right? Made your hand a touch vampiric🦇 and she is a bit chibi 😁 #birdart #sketchbook #art

Freshly 20 years old, a fluffy baby from a photo by @mariia_tikhonova1 on Instagram (a wonderful illustrator & friend) Working through your submissions, one a day ☺️ Such a joy to draw these sweet fellow creatures, many so different from my own two #cats ! #petportraits #dailyartchallenge #catart

I want to fill up this sketchbook with more pet drawings! Help me keep up my daily pet portraits project by sending or linking your fave pet photos/videos! Paper #ASMR as I turn the pages of my #sketchbook. #artsky #dailyart #catart #catsofbsky

Sadie snuggling into my spot after I got out of bed. Painted last night before bed. If you enjoy my cat art and are curious what your fur baby would look like in this style, visit ko-fi.com/birdbo/commi... for more info 😊 name your price - $5? Ok! #catart #cat #watercolor #art #petportrait #sketch

🌈 a sketch of Marbs and Sadie being near each other, based on a photo. They still bicker and hiss but this is becoming the new normal. 😭🙏 😺 If you enjoy my art and you are curious what your own pets would look like in my style, order yourself a portrait for literally any $ amount! 🌞 #caturday #art

Marbs on my books again, looking more normal & chill at this angle! If you enjoy my cat art and are looking for a fun, inexpensive gift to celebrate the Winter Solstice, DM me a pet photo and a tip of any amount and I will create something fun and unique for your loved ones 🌈 #art #cats #watercolor

Marbles' turn on the books, she just kind of plopped her front half on the stack. The awkward pose was fun to draw! If you enjoy my quirky sketches and want one of your own fur baby, DM me a photo! Name your price, any $ amount helps a lot - trade works too! #fountainpen #sketch #catart #cat #art

😺 Love how this one turned out! Marbles looking down from her high perch. 🌈 I'm opening commissions for pet portraits to pay for my kitties' special food and Marbles' asthma medication/vet appts. Sliding scale, anything helps! Ink and/or watercolors. 🙂 #petportraits #art #catart #artsky #cats

If I fits I sits. Sadie on my bullet journal. #watercolor #sketch #art #catart #dailyart

I usually take my limitations in stride but part of my Disability includes cycles of rage & sadness as I recallibrate my goals & timelines. It will be okay but I deluded myself into thinking I could push harder toward my goals. Lasted a week, lol. Rest wins again! #stationary #disability #arttherapy

My 91-year-old dad (lifelong GOP, never voted for a Dem) who grew up in rural South Dakota during the depression, upon seeing that Trump is withholding SNAP benefits said the following: "That son of a bitch doesn't know what it means to miss a meal."

Marbs was captivated by yesterday's late sunrise. She moved from the bed to the tree in the window and gazed, amazed, at the sky. Tiny sketches in a pocket sized book I bought from a National Park Service gift shop. #tortie #catart #catsofbluesky #cats #petportraits #fountainpen #sketchbook

Watercolour painting of a cat called Kimi. #cats #petportraits #art #throwbackthursday #paintings #watercolours

His little snoot 😭 this lil guy is a real character, trust me - do NOT pet his belly! Don't love my color choices but the values are solid! Brush pen over fountain pen. #caturday #tuxedocat #artsky

Yesterday morning, Sadie crawled up on me and dozed while I was still waking up. Wanna use more color, but I'm finally unhappy w/my diy 5 color pocket palette. Planning to purchase one with more colors so I don't have to mix so much. I don't have a lot of time to sketch so ease of use is a priority!
