How to Finish

I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.

#first and last panels are a big mood

When I was about 12 we did some random thing in school where we were all prompted to test our vision by seeing how far away we could read a small text. They made me take my glasses off and everyone laughed when I had to stand 2 inches from the paper. I tried to pretend I found it funny too but I still remember

#perna posts #re: nobody thinks of glasses as a disability aid

I made pickled carrots (Vietnamese style) and it's gooood

#perna posts #I had a veggie sushi roll while we were away that had spicy pickled carrots and edamame #and it was soooo good I'm trying to recreate it

Bit by a tick today :(

#perna posts #did a climb up the side of a waterfall today. very fun 😎

I think I'm probably the only person ever in the world to make art that's bad

One of those days where you just fuck things up. I tried to work on my painting and just made it worse and worse and I'm making a mess and my head hurts. What fucken colour is a cloud meant to be

#perna posts #also #(lying on the floor thrashing my limbs) I WANT MY NEW PIANO #I picked out a new piano last week but I need to save up for it. but it sounds soooo nice and I wanna play iiiiit

Wes shaved off his afro yesterday (which he does every so often and it takes a while to get used to). When he picked me up today, I got in the car and audibly said "ah!" in genuine surprise

#perna posts #(repeating to myself) Wes has a normal size head. it's normal #I. don't know if he heard me. but I don't think anyone wants their partner to yelp in shock at seeing their bald head

Forcing myself to experience adventures today by way of travelling to the climbing wall by myself, the first time on my own since I gave up my car. A train then a bus getting there, and getting back I had to walk an hour back to the station because the buses are fucked. I left work at 3.45 and I got home at 8 all for the sake of an hour's exercise (discounting the walk that is). This is efficient and a good use of my time 👍

#perna posts #gee I wonder why public transport isn't more popular

I'm not gonna touch this again even though maybe it could use it

#oil painting #why are birds kind of fucked to draw #*takes a deep breath* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuugughhhh #it's actually good to be painting again #even tho getting this together was like pulling teeth

how to stop using your phone and start doing things

#perna posts #when I tell my therapist I hate scrolling on my phone and want to stop. she always says something like #well are you doing it because it meets a need?#which pisses me off because it's very compassionate and true #but I haaaate my phone and I want to throw it in a river. and she doesn't support me doing this

Ive got a lot of my granddad's oil paints and some of them are seized shut so I was thinking I'll just put them away for sentimental purposes. Then I started looking at the price of replacing them and ummmm I might juuuust crack open this £56 tube of cad orange. Fuck

#perna posts #ah it's £150 worth of oil paints that's seized aka 6 tubes. cool cool cool #whyyy did the expensive ones seize and not the cheap ones

Riding the struggle bus with this painting until right at the end when it started looking sort of ok

#oil painting #uuuugh I forgot how to paint kinda #it needs more work but I can't do anything else to it rn #it's been about 2 years since I last attempted oil painting and about 10 years since I last did any serious painting

Wow did you guys know oil painting is hard

A guy tried to talk to me while I was waiting for the bus yesterday. Mild chat about the bus being late and then he said "at least the buses are more reliable than politicians haha"

And I said "haha. I wouldn't know". And he stopped talking to me after that

#perna posts #I'm weird sorry!#I don't like it when people try to talk to me outside of social settings #throwback to the guy who followed me onto the bus and when I said “I don't want to chat” he got off at the next stop #bro...
