Saw Bishop Briggs last night, so good! May have been a bit too soon after being ill though as I’m exhausted this morning but it was worth it.

K.Flay last night at the Roseland was freaking awesome. The opener Vienna Vienna was also pretty cool, going to have to check out their stuff now!

Brushed Beams. Brushed Radiance. Brushed Iridescence. Iridescent Grooves.

Today at 3pm listen to @alygrl.bsky.social and @robthelef.bsky.social react to the TigerLily album by Natalie Merchant. ON @shadypinesradio.bsky.social I'm going to sadly miss out today so you must join the chat and interrogate them! Report back what they say!

I relate way too well.

When I’m not hiding cause of my migraines or making art I sometimes make jewelry. Out of resin and glitter and sometimes hummingbird skulls (well resin replicas of them)

Nice! I love treadle machines! I used to collect old sewing machines but I just don't have the time or space anymore. They are such fun machines!

Ooooh is that treadle machine?

Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters.

More migraine inspired art. It’s been rough #artsky #pdxart #pdxartist #digitalart #digitalwatercolor

Sketch of a woman lying on her side her back to the viewer and her spine exposed. Vines and purple flowers are coming out of her back and trailing down a path to a wall a door.

I guess one positive to so many migraines is I tend to work on my art during the postdrome. Chronic pain fucking sucks! Last night’s sketch.

In our quest to understand Gen Alpha slang, we’re doing our first slang session today. We’ve each picked a songs from our vinyl that we feel matches the 3 slang words we picked for today. Come listen in at 3pm on @shadypinesradio.bsky.social and suggest our next 3 in chat!

Thanks! I have so many questions too. I find the whole thing fascinating from what are the possible scientific reasons to the stories we create by snippets of images and one video we see!

Did anyone else who saw the video, not realize how tiny she was?! I really wanted to sketch her all glittery heading for the light, part of me is tempted to go back and add like a huge shadow but I like the focus just on her. My head keeps thinking “Nevertheless, she persisted”

Sketch of a person with one enlarged red eye with dark fluid coming out of the eye and dripping onto their hand

I had a horrid migraine and this is what I wanted to make in the aftermath. Self portrait of an artist just done with it all.

A sketch of two faces one smaller than the other and on top of each other. The smaller one is angry. The larger one is sad.

Current mood? Today’s sketch provided you by listening to The Crane Wives and *gestures at all the bullshit going on*

NYC Union Square

Sketch of a woman bent backwards as multitudes of moths fly out of her midsection

Continuing the trend of late night sketches to music

Sketch of a woman with her heart and lungs exposed and a fire starting inside her chest.

Ok I’m officially obsessed with Daughter’s latest album which feels silly since I think it came out 2 years ago and it didn’t get stuck in my head like it is now. It makes my hands itch to sketch when I listen.

Sketch of a woman with her chest open and her lungs out and flames in the center

Another sketch inspired by overwhelming emotions and music. I should be sleeping but that’s not going well.

My son was so hoping for enough snow today

“Medicating works sometimes
I’m just trying to lose my train of thought
Only ever feeling fine”
Dandelions by Daughter

I don’t know what it is about listening to Daughter but I always want to make art when I listen to their music.

1000 garlic clove soup? OMG that sounds delicious!

Thanks for listening! That was fun! I feel like we should go hit some stores and look for some interesting but a little harder albums to play!

We're going to do a blind listen to a whole album. I haven't even listened to this album but a review said "Not just entertaining but downright terrifying" How can you not want to listen to it?!?!
Want to know what the album is? Join us at 3pm today 1/29 on @shadypinesradio.bsky.social

I can’t even put together what a workable schedule would look like.

Question for fellow creatives with ADHD… How do structure your days? I am struggling as an artist to make time for all I need to do. I have so many things I want to work on and make but I find all my energy and brain power goes to just getting daily life and business stuff done.

Do you have an idea for how you want it to end? Sometimes I would write out various endings or at least block them out in my head and in doing so figure out things that needed to happen and work from there.

Such a good day! Saw Exquisite Creatures Revealed at OMSI! So many things I want to make and paint now!!
