Yesterday I woke up at 4:30 a.m., went to a park outside the city, and birded for 6 hours. I saw 33 species, including a rare Northern Waterthrush, and a lot of lifers. It was a blast. Here are some pictures I took 🐥

I got up at 4:30 a.m. and birded for 6 hours. Unpacked my home studio. Read a lot of my book. Took a nap. All without rotting on my phone. Let's hope I can keep this energy up!!!

So I got an app called ScreenZen that pauses your apps before you open them with a message saying "is this important?" And you can set a timer for the app every time you open it. It's been working so well! And it's free 💚 i did soooo much yesterday, it was great. It's exactly what I needed

I've gotten pretty good at that! My biggest problem is rotting on my phone when I get home from work or while procrastinating tasks on my days off 😔

Going to try and truly tackle my phone addiction. I'm sick of seeing my life and my passion for art fall to the side just because I use this glass rectangle full of anger and fear and consumerism to distract myself from my feelings!!!!
If anyone has any tips, PLEASE let me know 💚💚

I wasn’t 100% happy with how characters turned out with this, but I thought it was dope how well I translated digital color to traditional. This was 2023 painting experiment

Amazing! In the past I've struggled with getting paints vivid enough to match digital colors. Did you use a specific type of paint, or is the contrast made from the duller colors surrounding the bright ones? The depth in this painting is so impressive I love it!

I've heard so much advice about #illustration portfolios, I think I've made mine too broad. I think I need to niche down to my specific interests so I can get the kind of work I would love to work on.

Pro tip: don't take every piece of advice you hear 😅 it's often contradictory to itself, too.

I started making dinner right after work bc I was HUNGRY. I put rice in the rice cooker, cooked it fully, and opened it to realize I forgot to put the water in 💀 bruh

My new book is out today! “Are you a friend of Dorothy?” written by Kyle Lukoff, published by Simon and Schuster. This book is about the ways queer people in history have used secret codes and slang to find each other in dark times.
