 hi!  one of my last posts here on my blog was ins & outs for 2025 so I'd like to go through them and see how I did!  2025 art ins! - how did I do? ✰ hand-writing intricate and unusual fonts  I started January 2025 strong with these sticker designs  ⬇️  but that's about it for this one. I do like the look of handwritten text but it just didn't show up a lot in my 2025 art. ✰ comics about the mundane and being a human YES!!! I made & released red eyed and blue , a stream of consciousness comic about vices and habits. I spent a lot of time on this comic & love how it turned out. you can read it in the oat bag issue #2 or on my substack . you can also read this interview that just came out about the comic! here's a look at some of the pages! ✰ poetry (in comics or elsewhere) I did start Writing more! I made an active effort to write down any phrases or ideas that had  potential , or at least seemed like they did. I also made an eff...

sticker paper

 my roommate is in grad school and she printed something on sticker paper by accident. she gave me it back to use for art rzns.....so here's what I did with it. I honestly was kind of intimidated by the idea of starting, because my idea was to make a big fun design and cut it up into little stickers and send them to my pen pals but. I didnt wanna mess it up* *the mind killer so I added some little dudes because thats been what I do when im stuck lately got stuck again so I turned it upside down. this helped. it abstracted the words a little bit more, looking at them upside-down and kinda gave me permission to stray from the faces I had previously drawn. I wasn't rly feeling paint pens. I wanted to cover more space. so I poured some acrylic paint on it and spread it out with a sponge brush (the least used of my brushes!) it was too wet to work on, so I did some laundry & came back to it!  oh. it got all buckled. guess I'll tape it down. ah yes. now I had to break the ice...

today's art adventure

  ☆ hello ! ☆ I have this nice watercolor paper that's really thicc and I loveee drawing on it but sometimes I go a little overboard and make a bunch of unfinished drawings that I dont like. then I feel like I wasted the nice paper! and that is not a good feeling.  so. today I took a stack of unfinished drawings and drawings I didnt like and decided I was gonna paint OVER them since its nice thick paper !  I wanted to use acrylic paint mixed with modpodge because I previously discovered that modpodged paper is a really nice surface for acrylic markers! and im kind of in an acrylic marker chapter at the moment. it's all ive been doing.  so. are you excited? im so excited. first I wanna show you the Stack of unfinished and unliked drawings I have. this is crazy. so most of them are just one idea I kept redrawing (I was trying to make a good reference of an original character but I couldn't get it right so I kept redoing it lol) so I sorted this stack into three c...
