you’re back??? I’m so glad!! You inspired me so much back in the day
yeahhh I was really getting tired of instagram and honestly after getting randomly booted 😮💨🥲 but yeah I'm back! hoping make lots more art this year and document the art hangouts I've been hosting IRL🙏🏽✨
ugggghh fuck instagram to hell just in general but my account just got disabled 😢 cos apparently I am under 13 with a state ID saying I'm born 1992 somehow
clay painting on christmas 🤭 finally got around to painting the cat and penguin "worry stones," a random floral teacup, as well as trinket dishes shaped like an apple slice and my favorite flower, the pansy! also I did drop the one shaped like my cat Brody and his arm broke off but I painted it regardless! Hope it works out but I'm using some luster mod podge as a finish for both the air dry and polymer clays so🤭🤞🏽✨
5am christmas day doing nothing but not sleeping and putting on a mod podge shiny glaze on some lil clay penguin gifts that I prolly won't mail out until next week :')
this is kinda silly, i've been gone for two-ish years but i'm wondering not only who's still around following me here and also
if anybody would even care about my little journey to learning handmade pasta shapes???
pasta making is my livelihood now, its what pays the bills and kinda keeps the creative-hands-on juices flowing. but i've also been making more shapes outside of what we sell at work and it's been pretty sick developing this skill! lemme know

oops how long was I gone for?? anyway i broke up w my ex and started living again
i don't want to feel angry viewing and reading and consuming fellow artists' work. it's been a long time since I consistently consumed and was inspired to create my own work through looking at other people's art.
i'm finally moving back home to chicago after a year of declining mental health in new orleans, and today i felt a spark of familiarity, remembering the joy i felt in looking at something strange or beautiful or confusing and wanting to consult myself to make something confusing or beautiful or strange in my own art. all of the weight of feeling like a failure and a loser in a new city is off of my chest as i get closer to moving.
and i no longer feel shitty about looking at art. i used to think all of these younger artists needed to get a grip about their numerous "my sketchbook is so ugly" videos (and honestly everyone needs to get a grip about that).
but really i needed to realize that I don't want to monetize my art the way that everyone thinks that i should, that I never really wanted to but thought it could be the only way to escape the mainstream workforce. it just isn't what will fuel me to keep creating. "create only if i can get money from it"?! what am i? my dad from 2010 shaming me out of studying art in college?
there's still a lot of work to do to set a seat at the table for me to create freely and more intuitively, and cast aside this escapist desire to only create things that are "just pretty" when there is so much turmoil residing in me that continues to stay trapped.

The relentless and purposeful injury to the brain is essential for creating the machine that is the adult product of trauma.
Interference, which is discouraged, allows the development of self-identity, self-assurance, and trust.
Discrediting interference establishes doubt in the machine’s self and surroundings, and ensures consistent and lifelong dependence upon the creators and bystanders.

things are ok, better now. things are always better when i talk to fellow gay n trans artists. better when im in nature. better when we provide each other safe spaces to geek out about our dreams without shame.
