It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Ig it’s just the depression

The good news is I don’t have a sleep disorder

The bad news is still don’t know why tired

These are so freakin cool!!!

Happy to announce the start of my 2025 Fakemon project!!! I'll be designing an entire pokedex of fakemon that reside in the Laken region, inspired by the Great Lakes region of North America!

This is a complete revamp of my 2023 fakemon project, all purely for fun! Stay tuned!

Also their Black Friday sale will be coming up, my sub from last year is about that same price

I just think it’s wild to come to a small business/cafe/donut shop and bring coffee

14 mins in: 6 cups, all belonging to vendors

Counting how many people show up to a market at a cafe with Tim Hortons

The market started 1 minute ago and I’ve already seen 4 cups

Ty!!! I want to call my online shop Silly Art Mart, so I wanted to play into the mart vibes and aesthetic!

New stickers and packaging for a market tmrw

How did I never realize I am closer in age to my MOTHER than I am to my younGER SISTERS

I've heard countless folks say "I can't even draw a stick figure" and let me tell you, that squiggly hand-drawn line will always have more heart and expression than any AI art could ever have.

Omg this is so good

After sitting on it a bit, I think that one would make the best postcard, even tho I’d love to print them all!

Unhelpful! 😆

😭 turns out the jumpsuit I’ve been sooo excited about is being delivered by Canada Post so who knows when I’ll get it 😭

gotta be "relatable" and "shareable"

I think so, and it doesn't have to be video content, but either way it's a lot of work to actively grow it, you can't just post your art, you gotta be strategic :/

MegRoseRuiz talks about it a bit in some reels, basically saying that their content seems unplanned but theyre very strategic about it

these are also an option

I can't decide which would make the best postcard

I miss having hobbies and friends and things I enjoy

It’s not even 8pm and I want to go to bed cus I just have nothing to do and I’m bored

Yay!

What do we think of my sticker packaging (ignore the frayed edges, she’s a work in progress)

D&D character sheets…. But make it junk journaling…

I didn’t work retail for years, but I feel you 😆 I’m slowly working on packaging to give retail vibes in the Silly Art Mart

Maybe I should get out the childhood cash register… 😂
