WHOA MANNNNN. I had to basically check out for a f

Okay time for some catch up. @sheunitpaintjam was

Okay time for some catch up. @sheunitpaintjam was such a beautiful experience. There were many talks throughout the weekend of art as culture, art as resistance, and art as self-care. Being among all these talented lady aerosol artists and graffiti writers was such an honor. Full vid on my YouTube! (Link in bio)
.
Big ups to @l.rhae for helping with design feedback and to both her and @universalstyleschool for on-site critiques on my lettering piece! It was a first of I’m sure many to come writing Frawg. @raytrillharvey and @kryslachapis did an amazing job running the event. @sage_medicine brought out some amazing tunes and @nikita.theartist gave me wonderful henna.
.
My piece was a celebration of thick, soft bodies resting in confidence. 🚨 TW: diet culture & DE 🚨 I keep feeling the push of early 2000s trend setting coming to the cultural forefront (media, ads, conversationally), clawing to undo all the strides made by the body positivity movement over the past several years. As someone who suffered from disordered eating throughout middle and high school, and even a bit into college, (mostly from lack of information, general trauma, and encouragement to follow unhealthy and super unsustainable diet trends) it’s been a very long journey for me to get to a space where I can appreciate my body. And damn do I have a lot to appreciate it for after this past month. I spent about 12 consecutive days (plus a 4 others) climbing a 12-15ft ladder (depending on how extended I had it) in the Texas sun. My arms are able to create art on a larger scale than I ever could have imagined, but we’ll go even bigger. I went straight from this event into a GIGANTIC production with the @ftkatx crew! More on that very soon (trust I have the reel ready in the drafts)…

@sheunitpaintjam rainy final day 3! Still got my piece settled enough to leave it… for now. First time doing a graffiti lettering piece! New character design! You can’t tell from this photo but that fae frog is about the same height as me.
.
This weekend was beautiful. I had 100 things to say on the ride home but am now so tired and will have to say them later… I met so many wonderful people. Loved painting the @the500x gallery wall along side:

Don’t mind me. Just out here having the time of my life at @sheunitpaintjam. I’m so excited for the final day tomorrow! 🚨 INTERRUPTION 🚨 only Sunday and Monday left to vote for @austinchronicle Best of Austin where I am finalist for best muralist. 🙌
.
Awesome seeing my aunt @imalleyes and uncle and cousin @ben_leary1997 out today at the jam because alignment was such that we were all in Dallas at the same time. Today was full of amazing jams and dancing with friends and seeing phenomenal art come to life as hours passed and butterfly-licked henna. Thank you to everyone who bought some of my merch today!! It helps me re-coup some costs for doing something that brings me so much happiness. I wish I could bottle this feeling for a rainy day.
.
Alsoooo not so bad (so far) for my first lettering piece, no? Ehhhhhh??? 🤭 @ftkatx ⚡️🥷🏼❤️‍🔥

Better not edit my silly camping vacation clips fr

Better not edit my silly camping vacation clips from @inkslakesp earlier this week to look like a Wes Anderson film. I apologize in advance because, as the cringey hipster scum I am… I love a Wes Anderson movie and I will likely be using this editing trend a couple more times because UH IT’S CUTE. Lil Phathead had a surgery before camping trip so now their left leg, neck, and arm are no longer broken and they can now be posed again! They did some treasure hunting with Mushroom Squish in the pink granite hills of the Llano uplift. Bonus sighting of @yuri.kosmos 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Stoked for @sheunitpaintjam in Dallas this upcoming weekend!! Don’t forget to get your votes in for @austinchronicle Best of Austin 2023, where I am finalist for best muralist in the Arts & Entertainment category! Voting ends May 15!!! Link in the bio or hit vote.austinchronicle.com!

Officially nominated best muralist in @austinchron

Officially nominated best muralist in @austinchronicle Best of Austin 2023!!! Thank you so, so much to everyone who nominated me. I am still in shock. Voting is happening now through May 15th!!

I could use your help, because I’m up against some truly phenomenal muralists, including my can killah pal and 2-year incumbent @zuzubee, the amazing @chrisrogersart , the absolutely magical @elenizzle and shape master and fellow @creativecutiesatx @hardshapes. Honestly, we all deserve the win. And there are some other highly deserving people in the scene who weren’t even nominated!
.
But this is my page so vote for meeee. Here are some campaign graphics for y’all to share and encourage your friends to vote for me, too!! Anyone, anywhere can vote!! You can find Best Muralist under Arts & Entertainment at vote.austinchronicle.com (or just click the link in my bio).

Finally finished up this mural out at my parents’ place this week!! 275sqft entirely in aerosol on corrugated metal on a high ladder in hill country winds. Big challenges, but super happy with how everything came together.
.
This mural features a scissor tail flycatcher soaring over a pond at sunset bordered by bluebonnets, daisies, thistle, and prickly pear. The time lapse video is already up on YouTube, but I’ll edit it down for a reel real soon… or you could click the YouTube icon from the link in the bio and check it out now (don’t forget to subscribe!)

Take a trip to the Earth Day Art Exhibit at @artus

Take a trip to the Earth Day Art Exhibit at @artuscoart @arboretumtx with our favorite alien cutie. They partied with some @mushieplushies, looked at amazing surreal art, fell through a portal, drew a lil picture, and contemplated their time here on this planet. Eyes out for my whale piece!! I mixed a version with funny sound effects but IG blocked it, so go watch it on TikTok if you want the original!
.
You know, just having a normal adult woman day at the gallery. On my goofy sh*t. Happy to have safe spaces for being silly. Thanks @villegasartist and @mysticalrosemary for coordinating such a lovely show!! Was great running into @topher_sipes @fabianrey and @richardrees2 at the show and meeting @rootedexpressionsstudio @thirartist and @puryearmonica. I didn’t even catch all the beautiful works in my clips so you should head to @artuscoart and check out the show for yourself!!

🚨 LAST CALL 🚨 You, too, could look so cute in this little shirt! Three days left to pre-order my @rawpaw drop ship shirt!! (Link in bio!)
.
I’ve gotten 3 out of the 10 pre-orders needed to go into print! If I don’t I’ll have to extend the pre-order period (how embarrassing!) so pick one up today!! I WILL NOT be doing another run so this is your last chance to snag it.
.
Only 28 doll hairs!!! Wow what a steal. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on mine when I wear it out. Those that have gotten one were amazed at the quality and softness and said that they, too, get many compliments. Be the talk of the town in this very cute shirt!
.
Thank you to @michaeldoesmakeup , Nanny, and @padams85 for sending me pics in their shirts! And thanks so much to the 28 of you who picked it up in the first run!! (NOTE: They do not come in cat or miniature character sizes. Apologies in advance for misleading content. 😂)

Quick lil time lapse and glamour reel of my skateboard commission for @richardrees2 !! I cannot reiterate enough how grateful I am for him and everything he does for Austin’s art community.
.
BTW, I usually cut down my videos to run super quickly on IG. If you are ever feeling like, “wow, she is going so fast; I can’t even tell what is going on.” you should subscribe to my YouTube (linked in the bio). I post the original slightly slower time lapses on there and you can see them at appropriate resolution on your TV, phone, tablet, or wherever you watch!

Recently had the privilege of working on this skateboard commission for local collector @richardrees2!! I improved upon my Space Whale street art from @eltacorrido for this smaller format, painted in aerosol, paint markers, and acrylic paints.
.
It was my first time designing a skateboard and I came up with a bunch of concepts and it was really fun. Super grateful to have people like Richard in the arts community who support us living our dreams through commissioning custom works!

Full turnaround of my piece from Inside the Can at

Full turnaround of my piece from Inside the Can at @blkwhtgry.co Gallery in San Antonio. Also a quick shot of my makeup because I thought it looked nice and it was really crowded on opening night so I got nervous and scootaledooted. Anyways, isn’t this can cool?
.
My piece Ouroboros is available on their site (link in the bio). This upcycled spray paint can has a purple Texas rat snake twisted into a Mobius strip eating its own tail, floating in a blue sky. The Mi’kmaq pictograph for forever is drawn onto its belly furthering the infinite imagery in the piece. For those of you in the market for affordable small arts, check itttt.

Celebrated my 36th birthday last Friday the 14th!

Celebrated my 36th birthday last Friday the 14th! Had a wonderful day with free coffee, birdwatching, nature walks, and dinner at @daidue with my love, my seester @derpsicles and her bf @alligotrmybones. I touched grass on my nature walk and then touched my eye, which my allergies did not like very much, but that’s happened enough times in my existence that I just kind of live with it. 😂 Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!!
.
My partner got me some cute frog bucket hats for painting in, binoculars, Pokemon planters, and Vol 4 & 5 of Masterful Cat is Depressed Again, Today! This is my third year doing a birthday self-portrait!! I went a bit more experimental with this one because it reflects some of the work I’ve done recently.
