Happy 3-year gotcha day to our beautifulest boy Ichigo!

I don't care what your gender expression is, beautiful eyelashes are for EVERYONE

That's so sweet! I have already noticed they're quite confident even as wee babes. They're gorgeous, as well.

Omg HANDSOME. Muffs!! YES. I love a muffy/beardy chicken so much. We have an ameraucana (or close enough) named Kylo Hen and she rules.
Tell your chickens the saaaaaame

Gosh, I know. 💅

We've got mostly mutts aside from the new kids! Australorp, "Easter egger", Rhode island red, mixes of all of 'em. And one very retired buff orpington.

A step closer to feeling more at ease with my own body.

Reckoning with disappointment in others is hard. And there will always be more.
I return to the teaching of not having expectations for people, only kindness. If they're late to the awakening to the horrors, forgive them. We're all on the same side. Some need to be SHOWN that through actions.

I hope it gets better, I hope people wake up, I hope the politicians listen this time...
This reinforces helplessness.

I will work to make it better. I will wake up who I can. I will find ways to make the politicians listen.
This builds power.

I don't believe in hope anymore.

Hope and fear are two sides of the same coin. Abandoning hope is abandoning fear because they're the same behavior. They come from the same place of lacking, of insecurity, of attachment to an outcome.

Ahh thank you so much!!

My artistic drive shifts like the wind. For a moment I was all book arts. Let's take a peek at my WIP pile and see what I'm dreaming up...

A painting of a golden mountain landscape with the personification of the mountains, a huge red and black figure, pleasantly sitting atop a ridge. A little blue catgirl approaches the scene and meets with the mountain.

Oil pastel dog

In my 20's I played a lot of games... tons... got pretty okay at Brawl and Monster Hunter... then I lost my video game drive. (Also I just can't afford them anymore womp womp)
I mostly just play co-op stuff with friends, now.
I bet you'll find a suitable replacement!

QRP W SKULL ART 💀❤️

Acrylic on wood panel. I used acrylic ink for the neon red, as a result this painting took about 5x as long as normal, as it had to be built up in many layers to be opaque enough.

YEAH we got invited by a local friend! I can telegram you about it

We're able to extend ourselves and help strengthen our local community connections because of funny animal people who buy our art. So if you've ever bought anything from us, be it sticker or original painting, or even just offered kindness and encouragement, you're helping us help others. Thank you.

The group was amazing. Tons of human activity going on--equitable discussions, connecting with those who share our values, and singing. We sang in the atrium of the Department of Natural Resources hand-in-hand, calling out names of the forests lost and forests worth protecting. It was incredible.

I'm extending a huge thank you to all the supporters of our studio. The freedom our art practice brings allows us to attend organizing actions, like today. We got to help protect sensitive habitat thanks to y'all affording us the opportunity. I am grateful for this life. YOU have given it to me.

Study of a goat skull painted in yellows and greens

Okay okay here's a more obvious one. This one's hanging upstairs--if you want to buy it, hmu!

QRP with your skull art
(I promise there's a skull... tilt your head to the right, you can see the eye socket and canine teeth of a canine skull.)

Diogenite appeals to me because Diogenes was the goat haha

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.
