yes i'm hung (up on the folly of man)

Picture of three oil pastel paintings. The first is of a small mushroom person and its mushroom dog. The second is a slime monster waving at you. The third is a small mouse with a long mushroom growing out of its head, sitting underneath the night sky.

I love my Garbage Art series.

Named lovingly so bc I grew up believing art had rules and thought my doodle-like style would never be considered art.

I'm happy I got over my own BS because this series is one of my favourite. The joy I see them bring on peoples' faces is worth everything.

Finally set up an etsy store. One step closer to being a full time artist? Only if people check it out uwu

A work in progress of an oil painting that displays a pigeon in an unnatural and pained pose. The pigeon seems to have been trying to fly before a taunt red string tied around its neck and trailing down to the bottom of the canvas seems to stop it. The background is golden in colour.

A WIP

"I may have wings to fly, but the further I go, the harder it is to breathe."

A piece about anxieties, pushing limits, and striving for a life you want to live.

Daily reminder that AI could never make real art.

Never let someone else's fear control you.

I found myself homeless for months. It was through the grace of my amazing friends I did not end up in the streets.

But because one person decided to do something outside of my control, it felt like my entire life crumbled around me.

At 32 my long term partner confessed he had been cheating on me throughout the entire relationship. This led to me having to move out of his house immediately.

Despite having a job in tech, I had very little money, and it was the start of Canada's housing crisis.

New Idea: Let me just sit with my dogs and make cute art for people instead of sitting in an office for 40 hours a week.

Sometimes it is only the dream of one day becoming a full time artist that keeps me going.

Oil Painting Preview of "Little Thief" which is a painting of a small ginger mouse on top a loaf of bread taking bites from it

Oil painting preview of "Summer Gardens" which is a painting of a white mouse taking a nap on top of a large leaf inside of a tipped over, empty flower pot

Preview of painting "Poppy Punk" which is a multi media painting of a punky looking man wearing a backwards hat and rubbing his nose with a speech bubble saying "tsk".

My newest prints that are coming this weekend! Here are some close up shots of these wonderful little paintings!

I lowkey think the tik tok ban in the states is going to be great for Canadian creators on the app. And kinda think I should invest more into it.

The folk hero status of Luigi Mangione entertains me so much

This is gross.

I think sometimes, as an artist, we get caught up on wanting to move people and stir emotions; while forgetting that joy is an emotion. It doesn't always have to be thought provoking or an emotional exercise. The piece could simply be made to make someone smile.

I want to live a life of joy and excitement. That is why I want to create art; I live for the process, and I want to create work that move people. Pieces that people think are beautiful.

I'm tired of struggling

An oil painting of a mouse on top of a small load of bread eating it. There is a chunk removed from the bread and crumbs around the bread.

Finished up my new mousie piece! "Little Thief"

It's appalling when local artisanal craft markets and fairs allow MLMs to join and push their products and recruiting next to genuine artists and small businesses.

sometimes your art is literally fine, you’ve just been staring at it for too long

I'm chasing the hope of being able to support myself full time doing something I love :sob:

Go for it! Intimidation never has to be a threat. A scary looking person asking you something innocent can still be intimidating; and your perception of them can affect your willingness to cooperate.

Knowing someone has power can cause intimidation. A simple crush can cause you to be intimidated!

I have made one of my party members roll intimidation in a quite a few RP moments because he is a goliath barbarian with a giant bloody cleaver. His presence is intimidating, and effects how NPCs interact with him.

I've also used intimidation for very attractive characters in similar ways.

Me as an artist: *Paints cute mousies eating bread*

Me as a DM: "The smell of rot lingers in the heavy, humid air. You can't help furling your nose in reaction to entering the room. There is viscous red and yellow fluids smeared across the walls, and in front of you is a body flayed and torn apart"

9 by 4 inch Oil painting of two mice in an autumn field. One mouse is grey and sitting, while the other is ginger and jumping towards an acorn on the ground.

"Frolicking Fall"

I am a little obsessed with painting little mousies.
