Uta Frith can ingest an entire satchel of Richard’s if you ask me. 😒

Putting my mind somewhere outside where it can feel the sun maybe it’ll connect with someone

I finished writing the guidebook to accompany my black cat tarot deck! 🥳

Related question, what’s everyone’s favorite free (or near-free) InDesign replacement for layout?

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

The view of my ceiling from bed. It is vaulted and painted to look like the night sky.

Good night Bluesky 🌌

It turned out so stinkin’ cute!

My inner doomsday prepper is simultaneously so excited about our new HVAC system and completely ill over how much it cost 💸💸💸

But the old one went in just after Desert Storm so like, 6 US/Middle East conflicts ago. It was time.

We helped my mother-in-law move today, then we had to move a bunch of stuff in our own basement so we can get a new furnace in tomorrow, THEN I did a smidge of cleaning up in my studio 🥵

I can barely move, but I’m happy with the progress! Maybe I’ll even get to paint this weekend 🤞

Well that’s a first… I was contacted and asked for permission to use a photo I posted in a TikTok comment in an upcoming segment on the Drew Barrymore Show 😅

When everyone outsources their heavy thinking to you, but they still get to decide if you’re right or not = being AuDHD in corporate.

It’s seems I’ve been tapped to mourn the death of a stranger.

Your books are like your kids! They might be small now, but they’ll keep growing. That kid will tell friends, parents will gift a copy to cousins, and over time they’ll help people connect in the most pure and ancient way people can, through stories that mean something. And that means everything.

Me too! I’m so close!!!

Sometimes I think the hardest thing you can do is stand up for your needs in a world determined to convince you that you don’t have any.

I finished writing the intros, instructions, major arcana and coins suit descriptions (upright/reversed) this weekend! Only the descriptions for the 3 remaining suits left.

This and box packaging are the last things I need to do before I can place my first batch order!

I haven’t shared much new art lately because I’ve been preparing the Void Deck for publishing. Today I’m looking forward to spending a peaceful Sunday working more on the guidebook that will go with it. I’m so excited about this project!!

So is Strix. Obviously. 💛🐈‍⬛

Yes! Get em, my friend!

I too have a reputation for despising AI and I’m proud of that. I just can’t help myself!

For the first time in over a week I have woken up without panic and I’m so freaking grateful.

Sam, a large tuxedo cat, sunning his belly on the carpet

Sam (and his brother, Dean) went to the vet this morning for a checkup. I’ll give you one guess what we collectively got a scolding about….

How can anyone hope to heal a shattered nervous system in this environment???

A selfie of my grey long haired cat Odin clinging to my chest with his arms around my neck.

I tend to hold anxiety before work.

Odin IS anxiety and demands I hold him before work.

The clinic’s license for the software came with the ‘whimsy package’ as an added benefit. I guess now we know what that entails.

I am so tired of having a fried nervous system. I’m tired of feeling ill every morning before work. I’m tired of pushing through for the sake of physical safety at the expense of psychological safety.

My partner is finally watching Apothecary Diaries with me and I could not be happier with this development 🥰🌺💀

A glazed bisque mushroom house cookie jar with a blue top and blue details around wood doors and windows.

Took the fam to paint pottery for my youngest’s birthday and obviously I had to do the giant mushroom house cookie jar. I’m reasonably happy with how it turned out but of course now that we have left I’m really wishing I had added a few more details above the door. Curses!

A tiny glass bottle between thumb and forefinger full of rough sapphires

A pile of rough sapphires on a paper towel

Look, we all gotta find a little joy to keep us going sometimes and for some of us that might look like ordering a bag of gravel from Montana and spending an afternoon painstakingly combing through it for sapphires AND THATS OKAY!

The title reads: GROWTH UNDER POWER. Then three successive illustrations show a tree with a face growing under power lines. When its branches are violently split to pass around the lines its face is clearly distraught.

I spent my entire 2 mile walk after work annoyed that my glasses were smudged and wiping them on my shirt wasn’t fixing it.

Reader, it’s just foggy outside.

A digital drawing of a capybara holding a yuzu. In curly script (as designed by a 7yo that hasn’t learned cursive yet) underneath it says “capybara”

Opening up my iPad and I’m greeted by this capybara my almost 8yo drew and I love it so much I wanted to tell the internet about it❤️
