I used to have a tattoo that said “All Life Is An Experiment” – it was easier to believe this when I was eighteen (Week 2)
I went through that terrible period of counting likes, followers, comparing how fast a fellow artist grew, I followed artists in secret, sometimes bitterly. I posted and waited.

Doing All The Things (Week 1)
So last week was the first week of taking my art more “seriously” and you know what? I had a really really good week. I was happy. I felt inspired & productive & I was teaching myself all the things. I planned to just work in pen. Then I started working in graphite. Then I […]

I’m burning sage to ward off the negative spirits I’ve never encountered but that just might be here. I’m brewing rose buds & lavender oil on […]
