Annotated Audrey

Inkspiration. This is a print from my last art collection. I typically have a nebulous story in my head as I’m creating a collection. This story was about the loss of inspiration and the magical journey to find it again. Perhaps I should actually write it down and maybe even share it. #art #writing

Journaling is a tool for exploration and creativity! #journaling #journal #writing #doodling #creativejournal

Decorating your journal in an intentional way can help inspire you. #journaling #journal #writing

I scrolled on Tiktok until I couldn't anymore. It's the end of an era. Even if it comes back, I doubt it will ever be the same. #tiktokrefugee #tiktok #tiktokban

Blue Sky will be one of the places that I repost all of my favorite videos that I’ve made as a Nerdy Pen and Art Content Creator on TT. Am I sad about TT going away? Yes. Am I excited for a new chapter? Also, yes. #tiktokrefugee #stationery #journaling

Profile portrait of Toni Morrison in black and white. (Damon Winter/The New York Times)

Toni Morrison's words from 2015, as timely as ever:

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

I finally finished Parable of the Sower after putting it down a few years ago. It’s heavy and I couldn’t carry it then. To be honest, I still can’t carry it now. It’s disturbing and beautiful at the same time. Probably the best book I’ve ever read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One word book review: Enthralling. #books #reading #audiobooks

Do you also escape reality by immersing yourself into good tv? Watched Interior Chinatown on Hulu last week and it was so good. Any other good/smart show recommendations? #television #tvshow

Decorated my Pistachio Hobonichi Weeks Mega Planner. This is my first time using a Hobonichi and I’m very excited about it. #planner #journaling #hobonichi #stationery

Does anyone else randomly go nocturnal from time to time? If I can’t sleep, I might as well stay up and live my life in bat mode. #artist #artistproblems #nocturnal #selfemployed #workfromhome

Stayed up all night packing wholesale orders. So happy to be busy. #fulltimeartist #artist

My guilty pleasure is cheesy Christmas movies and yes, I am already watching them as I paint ornaments. #painter #artist #christmas

Sometimes I wonder what he’s dreaming about?

Here are some holiday cards I designed for desert dwellers/lovers. Desert plants and animals are my favorite motif to explore in my art. In response to a harsh environment, they adapt and survive- just like us.

My journal and boba because boba makes me happy. #journaling #boba
