34 trips around the sun. Spent 3 and a half hours

34 trips around the sun. Spent 3 and a half hours this morning drawing (meditating about?) my face, inspired by @alexgreycosm doing yearly self-portraits. I thought it was a neat way to document each birthday, so maybe I will do it more often. (Brush set by @bluesssatan)
.
Swipe for a recent pic of me cheesing under a mask at the last @creativecutiesatx Sprout Session (📸 by @is.ra___), where every month I am still waiting for the “wow people actually showed up” to wear off. (Followed by more pics!) I’m surrounded by wonderful people constantly. Everyday I’m progressing towards a life I only dreamt about. Love is everywhere and I feel very supported.
.
Sure, I still get burned out or sad or insecure or whatever, but for the most part life is beautiful and I am content. There were times I didn’t feel this way, so I am glad I’ve stuck it out long enough for things to get better.

The RISE UP Pop-Up was a blast and the weather was gorgeous! This was my first time live spray painting and it was so exciting and challenging. Thank you so, so much to everyone that took the time to come out and see me paint. @_unknowncollective , @marcellaispainting and @leah.creative: kudos on such an amazing event. Big, big shout-out and love to my sister @3rd_eye_monsters for her excellent booth running skills.
.
I wish I’d gotten more photos of the gallery and with everyone, but it was a wild day. I was happy to see many friends, meet some new artists, and so proud of how many fellow @creativecutiesatx were part of the show. Swipe to see my sticker and mini-print loot haul and more photos from the day!

ARIES SEASON HAS ARRIVED. ♈️ This is my season and I am sending love out to all of my fiery ram sibs. Tag your favorites in the comments! 🐑
.
The RISE UP Pop-up was an amazing way to kick off the season. 🔥 I’ll share some pics and video from that tomorrow, but for now, in typical Aries fashion, enjoy these cute (and matching) shots @is.ra___ caught of me in the woods. The good conversation and walks through the woods were much needed, and I wanted to again sing her praises as a photographer! 💖

Springtime frawg is here to lift your spirits! She

Springtime frawg is here to lift your spirits! She’s hopping to RISE UP presented by @_unknowncollective at @theaustinwinery this weekend and wants you to come. Oh, her basket? Abundant with items. A big blanket for outdoor fun with all your friends. Creative activities to share and inspire. Beautiful blooms and sunshine. Some art, refreshments, and wine. 🍷 Wait, there’s something else in here... it’s new buttons and stickers (➡️ swipe)! She’s dropping them off at the show this Sunday.
.
Ah yes, one more thing! A hand-written reminder that social anxiety is especially prevalent right now. If you feel like you forgot how to talk and be human in public, she’s heard a lot of people are feeling this way, too. You’re not alone. Be patient with and kind to yourself!
.
Hope to see you Sunday, March 21st, 12-6pm out at @theaustinwinery . I’ve been practicing and planning to prepare for live painting, so I really hope you’ll be able to mask up and make it out. Don’t forget to say hi to my sister @3rd_eye_monsters who will be helping me run my merch table!

I’d designed tattoos before but this was the first time I’ve had someone get one from me with /this/ much detail actually etched into their skin. I am still blown away by the work @thomrein did in transferring my portraiture onto @theo_the_pirate_pom‘s mama’s arm!!

Recent tattoo design commission of the late @theo_the_pirate_pom for his mama. I was so honored to have the opportunity to capture his light for such permanent application on her skin. And I was beyond amazed at the work the tattoo artist did, but more on that later.

My partner is my most favorite Pisces, so I depicted some chinook salmon on their spring run. He’s from BC so I thought it was fitting. 🥰
