"Mind of The Pisces" my first collage piece available to sell <3 My partner encouraged me to start making pieces that I would be willing to sell originals of so this is the first one that came together for that.

"War on Humanity"
I've felt my art taking a more... opinionated form lately, and I'm not entirely upset about it. As a traditional artist, I am very anti-generative AI and for very good reason. Support small artists, help someone live their dreams.

Just... put it in a box. And then in true adhd fashion, you'll forget it existed. That's how this works, right?

New collage storage update. Much nicer for sure.

Thank you for the repost @dentdelionss.bsky.social

Yeeessss! I love when you just get in the flow and start putting the pieces together like "no, this needs to *here* and I need to use *this* cut out like this "

I couldn't agree more! At first, I get an idea with the base image I want to use and then just start letting it come together in its own way. I can never preplan a piece. It only ever seems to come through in the moments I'm working on it.

I call this one "Waiting on God To Answer" It took an interesting turn as I was making it and ended up being way more personal than intended but it was healing.

I know this is my art account but here's one for my fellow cat enthusiasts. My son Mister Noodle would like to show you why he's the best Noodle #blackcats

Thank you! Its just so good. <3

I couldn't help myself. I Received new collage materials from my Spirit Mom and one of the images in what she sent was too perfect to not make a tribute to my favorite Ghibli movie. <3

Thank you so much! I mean, it can be pretty easy it's just a matter of cutting things in a way that works. I just go with the flow and let things come together naturally lol

"Lizard Brain" Collage in my art journal. This one was a lot more work than I usually do for cut outs and placement but im really pleased with how it turned out.

*adds more to my crafting notes* thank you kindly!

Appreciate the feedback! Adding that to my need to remember folder in my brain lol

They apply smoothly too! The only problem I had with them was the storage they came in and the color of the caps and names of the colors did not really match the colors of the markers themselves. So I invested in a marker storage organizer and used it to arrange them in more of a rainbow lineup

This was just a cheap set of 80 alcohol markers I found on sale on Amazon! The whole set cost only $22 with free one day shipping with prime <3

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I had used this glue before for other pieces but I guess I had smoothed it out more the last times and had more layers of thicker paper to bind with too. I went with just the basic glue stick for the other piece I did today and it made all the difference <3

Really upset with how badly this one bubbled up from the glue process. Does anyone have any tips for how to better prevent or counteract this?

Im still alive and doing art again! Just needed a lil break to focus on work for a bit but hopefully this kicks off a new creative streak.

"Just Add: Drama Queen"
Just a lil fun collage to get back into the groove after a few weeks of a slight production break. Its definitely time to start getting more magazines to cut up because Im running low on pieces. Eeek.
