Glasses!

Couldn’t find my index cards, so I cut some cardstock to the same size, hence the pink color (and what ever colors may show up in future).

This one is a little rougher than usual due to a variety of factors. It’s been a little bit since I’ve drawn like this, I did not have a very stable surface, and I very VERY recently got glasses and they make everything go a bit like this \ /. So that’s going to take some getting used to.

As for the percolating idea for putting myself out there that I mentioned last time… I’m gonna try to do more with social media. I’m also looking into local art classes after a talk with my dad (for a longtime any I saw were for a different age group or the timing didn’t work, so I had stopped even considering the possibility of one), so we’ll see how that goes.

Anyway. Hope you all have a wonderful week!

I used another glitter pen, and it did not turn out as well as the last one when scanned.. oh well.

Ok, I said I would think about goals for my art, and I did write down a couple.

1st, is 10 Cute or Creepy paintings. I haven’t done much painting, however I have some acrylic paints, and this gives me a way to explore it without it feeling too serious.

2nd, is 10 Landscape paintings. This one… there’s a few reasons for it. I want to stretch myself by trying to make what I see, rather than whatever pops into my head. I also understand that most of the things I make are rather niche, and when you combine that with how hard I find it to put myself out there, it’s rather difficult to make any money. Do I think landscapes are going to be a magical fix all? No. I do think I would feel better about taking them to a local art gallery, which would be a step forward.

Other than that… minorly contemplating something to help with putting myself out there, however I am an anxious bean and it will take a lot of courage on my part, so I’ll see how I’m feeling about it next time.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Happy New Year! (2026)

Wasn’t sure how the gold glitter pen would turn out when scanned. I’m glad you can kinda see it, however it does look better in person.

As for the New Year… I hope it is a good one. I know many people have their resolutions and whatnot, but I haven’t really thought about it this time. I have things I’m working on, like my art, and sewing, and myself. I haven’t really written down any goals for them though, so I’ll see what I come up with this week.

Hope you have a wonderful week, and a happy new year!!!!

Hope you all had happy holidays!

The season tends to be pretty hectic, with set up, various celebrations and get togethers, present getting/making, on top of the regular day to day things… it can be a bit overwhelming, so I also hope you were at least able to find some times to take a breath and settle yourself so thing were a little easier.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and a Happy New Year! (it’s already been that long???)

Bird snake?

Not a quality image. Neither was the last one, as I took them with my phone. Because my computer and scanner are not at the little office, I didn’t think to bring them home, and I haven’t really had the ability to go get them since I made them, which was the 28th…

Which also means I haven’t really been able to make more, as most of my materials are down there now.

Thankfully I did find some index cards that were hiding, and there is no shortage of random pens and mechanical pencils here. So when life gets a little too busy for me to get to the office to make something, I will just have to return to the early days of black, white, and whatever colored materials I happen to find.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

I’ve returned!

And it’s only been a year and a half. Yay for improvement!

It’s kind of been one thing after another. Figuring out medical things, a friend passing, pets passing, being down to one car in a house of five (all with places to be), and most recently not having a fridge for two months because the one that would fit where the last one died took that long to get (thankfully the weather had been cool enough to store some things outside). So by the time I was recovered from one thing, another had happened.

There’s still quite a bit on my plate, and I’m still recovering, however I’m getting better at making things work, and I hope to continue doing so (As my family likes to say “trend towards improvement!”)! I still want a nap and big cup of cocoa though.

ps: thanks to my mom for letting me use her little office while she’s doing other things, it helps a lot!!!

It’s a bed!… right?

Do you think a monster would survive under this ‘bed’?

This one was inspired by my bed eating my phone, and it was quite a pain to get it back. I had to take it apart a little, which is not something you want to be doing when you were about to go to sleep. That being said, I’m really happy with how this turned out! Especially considering I didn’t have a reference in front of me, or get up to go look at it!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and sleep well!

I’ve Melted!

It got really hot this week! We were in the hundreds since Sunday, went to 109°F on Wednesday, then dropped down to 93°F on Thursday. The week before that, the highest was a 91°F. So the weather threw me for a loop. Some people I know really enjoyed it, and I’m really happy they did. I think I handled it pretty well. It did cause a can of seltzer to pop in my dad’s car while I was driving it, which made it smell like a baked good for a while awhile.

I was also scared to make a drawing during this time, because I wasn’t sure how the heat would affect my pens, and had a hard time finding an answer to that. I have found some answers to related things, and it seems like it might ok… I suppose it’s one of those “try it and see” things that I’ll do at some point.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, stay cool, and remember to stay hydrated!

Pets?

Cute=1

The creative energy was a bit weird this time. I had a lot of it, and plenty of ideas, however the stuff to make them the way I wanted got misplaced. So my enthusiasm had kind of left by the time I got to this.

The day before this one, I spent about 5-6 hours on a piece, not cute or creepy related, that I’ll add to a post later this month.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
