Hello!
I am an artist, a lover, and a person who likes to look at birds. I have just finished scanning all my sketchbooks from 2018 - present!
I am starting this blog to post scans of my old art, along with loving annotations and comments. Some of the art will have adult themes.
I have typically avoided posting on the internet, but now that I have all these lovely digital scans and the desire to put them somewhere, I think that it is time.
Thank you for following along!

Felt tip pen, 2025. One of the many ER-related drawings, done intermittently between 2-6 am. I enjoy the organic patterns. I'm trying to name the shapes at the top but I'm coming up short. I have a distinct memory of drawing something from life... Text is from an admissions flowchart.
Tough! This was from 2022.
When I was a kid it felt like boys were this other species, in a hostile, insidious way. It was simple and familiar to live in a world where girls were safe and men were not. In 2022, I was reckoning with how stressful it was for my child self to feel I was living with and going to school with "wolves".
And it's hard to be nuanced. It has been hard to get close to men and realize that everyone is a person. Men hurt and bleed like I do. While alluring, I can no longer write off billions of people with an evil, 2D stereotype. This has really benefited me because I no longer feel like I have to hate myself for transitioning to "the enemy".
Here's to looking the cashier in the eye, unassuming and unafraid.
"Migraine" Feelings Portrait, 2022.
The colors are nice and contrasting and muted, even though there are yellows involved. I did this with Copic markers and Sharpie. I only did 3-4 of these feelings portraits, and I would like to do more. I appreciate looking back to them and understanding.

2023. I GASPED when I saw this. Wowowowow. I love learning science in an earnest way now and nurturing this desire to know myself from three years ago. Understanding makes stuff granular and real!
2019. I like how we were in the process of going from "drawing the archetypal image of this object" to "looking at the reference and painting what I see". You can see it in the tomatoes especially I think.
Looking at old art when we're high is so healing to me and me.
2025. Love you dogface girl.
I remember being like "whoa" when I put the dog head in there because it was so chic. This was during the era where my best friend and I were frequently quoting parts of Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese" to each other at appropriate moments.
This was actually really cool for me because I would be fretting fretting fretting and I would just get a-
"Hey"
yeah?
"do you know?"
know what?
"do you know you do not have to be good?"
... and that was cool
2024. Initially this said "hrt gave me paws". I thought that was so delightful. And maybe it was supposed to have been added back in. That's one of the cool things about the "start of the sketchbook" self portraits that we do... we always plan to go back and finish it but we rarely do. So there's some interesting things going on, "elements of art" wise.
2022. With this one we really did not like it when we made it. We had a certain idea of what it would look like when it was done. It was based on a picture of a church I think. I believe that it feels like church energy.
I'm so pleasantly surprised to like it now, looking on it all scanned nice on a big screen. It feels like it makes me see it from the outside, not holding the book and feeling the shame of bad.
I really like how it has no doors.
