Thank you. So you mean both paintings in the first photo, or specifically the top one?

I'll be there tomorrow too! Here's hoping we have good weather for it.

Tomorrow is the Oak Street Art Fair, (my first juried event) and here's some of the new paintings I've done in the past two weeks to prep for it.

I can't decide which ones I like best.

This hurts.

I've been sorting through piles of old photos, and I'm honestly embarrassed by the number of times I've tried to 'zoom in' on a picture with my fingers.

So, my wife is an author. Every time she gets that first look at the advance copies, I get to watch her reaction & get all excited with her. This one was rough for her at times, as basically grief therapy through storytelling, which created a beautiful story. boldstrokesbooks.com/books/goodby...

Also, this shop is owned by a disabled, queer, autistic woman - so you can support a marginalized leftist small business AND donate to the cause AND proudly tell everyone you're fed up with this administration.

sample image of a black t-shirt with a light brown rectangle showing part of the constitution. "We the people" is prominent in the middle. Over that in a bold black font says "I'm queer and fed up". Below this sample image are 4 smaller ones showing the shirt in different positions and angles.

Four sample shirts: black shirt with light brown rectangle that shows part of the constitution. "We the people" is prominent in this background. Over that in a black, bold font, the shirts read "I'm _____ and Fed Up" with the blank word changing on each shirt. Left to right, top to bottom, they read "queer" "disabled" "autistic" and "Black".

Starting on 3/31/25, Sen Cory Booker spent over 25 hrs on how & why we all need to resist 47 & his cronies. Want a quick way to agree? To express how fed up you are? This is the t-shirt for you! Get the broad-spectrum "Just so fed up" or find your identifier.

Really gotta get in the habit of opening this app instead of that other one. I don't post or read here as much as I'd like.

Watch this space for a new online shop announcement! My artwork on shirts, notebooks, drink ware, jackets, wall prints and more!

You make me so happy. I love you, too.

Same, actually. Though my masks are kn95s. And these actions don't guarantee you won't get covid but they put the odds in your favor!

I either have no words or too many words.
That's... beyond evil. And something every single person should know.

And what's a word that's like infuriated, enraged, and furious, turned up to like 20?

And honestly, the Covid-19 pandemic would have been less rampant and deadly if the person/people in charge of our country at the time had actually modeled safe behavior and supported the scientists and doctors that know this stuff. It's truly infuriating.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Yes, and i send emails about issues.

Honest question: if someone is physically or mentally unable to fight on the front lines (marches, full time activists, etc) and already donating what we can, what can we do? How do we make a difference in a fight we can't fight in?

I love Patti!

Sewing time...

This car quilt for a client's toddler became the top sewing priority because i needed my pins back! 🤣🤣

And it was like wrestling a porcupine. And it STILL didn't stay flat because this fuzzy material on the back is wiggly and stretchy. Next time I'll buy the fabric spray adhesive.

My first art exhibit!

Here's one section of the tiny branches in my current WIP. I spent a couple hours on branches tonight and have so many more to go!

This is another of my doodles on abstract backgrounds.

Ordering late when traveling out of state means shipping to your future location is best. And when that location is your bff and they have a sense of humor, they build a yule tree from the influx of packages.

Just a little winter scene I painted a couple years ago. Happy Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and any other December/winter holidays I've forgotten about.

I'll get back to my journal at some point. Clearly it's not high priority.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

This wildflower painting is one of those i plan to take to the library exhibit next month. (Still adjusting to the idea I'm gonna have my first art exhibit)

And tonight's work unexpectedly included a haiku:

Liv made some new friends
Living tryptich of childhood
Easy for toddlers

Mostly tinkering here and there, but I added another 1375 to my novel tonight. I guess that's one good thing about not having the energy to do much. I'm sitting here with my computer, which makes it easy to open the file and just look around. #writing #booksky #authors #spoonies #i'msick
