I’m letting it all go. Surrendering to fate. Fate is God.
Rescued a hit mouse from the road. Set my crystal down next to him for healing. When I checked on him later, he was wrapped around it. He passed away a few hours later.

“I’ve spent most of my life figuring out what the fuck my internal world is, going deeper and deeper into the universe inside. The best moments are when I’m not afraid to be me, to share myself—but I end up holding back. It’s difficult. What I feel called to do in life doesn’t line up with what other people think, understand, or realize. So I get distracted. I think, ‘oh no, it’s me!’ It’s not them. I’m the one who needs to change because I’m the loner weirdo…”
But every time I let go, life’s great. It’s cliche, but we all have our own light to shine, and it feels like a lot of people try to make theirs brighter by dimming everyone around them.
I gotta keep shining. Life’s hard, sometimes it sucks. But being myself is a beautiful gift. My ideas and interests move in a different direction from what’s accepted. I want to finally embrace that.
My goal is to stop being afraid to step into my own power.”
Bonelli | Paint Release
Paint Release is an experimental art series. A volunteer shares experiences, intentions, dreams, an art form of their own or an emotional release while I simultaneously turn it into an abstract painting.
Selections from a storyline/treatment made with Sarah McDaniel for a Doja Cat music video.
Reference photos are the work of many different, brilliant artists.
I’m a hound for virtual bread crumbs. I’ll trail a scent and scour for hours until enough pieces of existing imagery depict an imaginary scene. Worth it. Seeing a style come to life is an unlisted higher emotion. Bread leads to gold.
If you’re looking to travel to another world, tune in to Angela Ho.
Angela’s fine mashup of pointillism and retro/pop surrealism frames each of her high-spirited imaginary playscapes. This unique style sprouted over a decade ago and flourished when she decided to place paid work on hold for nine months. It was this gestation period for personal, artistic growth that gave birth to the comprehensive portfolio that altered the course of her career. By honoring herself, she found the fertile foundation needed for a vast land of dazzling, hypnotic, characters that suggest the truth.
For a deep dive Q&A with Angela on her background, character personalities and flow states...
Septaria (2020)
Directed by: Sarah McDaniel and Courtney Carter
Written by: Courtney Carter
A girl journeys through symbolic hallucinations that attempt to communicate her death as she hosts a brain-eating parasite.
Live action, 2D and 3D animation unite to create an immersive dreamlike experience across multiple dimensions. Symbols and rapid cuts stimulate the subconscious mind—the intent is to disengage from conscious thought and experience an intuitive world that speaks through visuals.
Septaria, an anagram for parasite, contains many parallels to the current pandemic and speaks to lost generations with a voice of surreal foretelling. Shot across Washington, Oregon and California, almost every natural environment that appears in the film is now affected by wildfires.

Mark and I crossed paths on the road to Mt. Shasta earlier this year. He’s lived out of the back of his bicycle trailer for the last decade—a decision he made after his wife and daughter died in a car crash.
The following is a loose transcription of our conversation.
Mark: Where you from?
Me: LA.
Mark: I’ve known a lot of people there. When I lost my wife and daughter in an accident ten years ago I used to come from Arizona, seeing my mom. And she passed recently too, so I’m not going there no more.
See my mom’s maiden name was Newsom, just like the governor. And her Dad died when she was 15-years-old, so her Uncle was all she knew.
And she said, “Your two aunts, they went back to Ohio. They flew to Ohio and rented a Jeep and went to West Virginia to see where the Newsoms came from.”
And I said, “did she find where they lived?”
And she said, “yeah, there’s a whole family of them that live up surrounded by national forests and they’re in-bred hillbillies.”
Mark talks about his great grandmother’s experience on the Trail of Tears.

Above is the release of J, 27. He shared a secret with me that he’s kept his whole life.
Lie down somewhere comfortable and follow along with the audio.
This exercise locates and relaxes the secret nerve zones of the human body, known as Marmasthanani. It is the first step toward altering brainwave patterns and the key to mastering Shavasana, enabling conscious control over the muscular and nervous systems. It can treat anxiety, mild depression, insomnia and hypertension.

Welcome to the “half beautiful, half frightening” realm of Ulrika Netzler.
Her creatures plot the artistic struggle of restlessness, pitfalls and self-doubt while striking balance with beauty and truth. They appear to her moments before she falls sleep or while knee deep in nature. She senses the supernatural in certain environments, (like the wind caves of the Aokigahara forest at the foot of Mt. Fuji), and bases her designs upon these experiences.
For a Q&A with Ulrika on her upbringing, influences and ideas....
The Caballero spoke a fast, mumbled Spanish. He handed me the reins with no instructions, which would have been fine, but this horse was loco, twitchy, and all I could picture was it throwing me off with a victorious nay.
I ended up tethered to the Caballero the entire time, my leg smacking into his. He’d look over and say, “todo bien?” At some judgement day reckoning point we began to gallop and all I wanted to do was throw myself to the ground and just get it over with. I vow to never be tortured in this way again.
