The Worst is Here

Yes, everything is horrible and getting worse by the second. I hate this world. But here is one way to take action: One thing The Bulwark (podcast/YouTube Channel) suggested is flooding your senators and house members with postcards objecting to specific cabinet nominees and or policies as those start to come down. This is especially important if you live in a red state or have an R rep. The reason they suggested postcards is because most R’s phones are turned off. They are not interested in hearing from YOU the people.

Finally this watercolor is finished! It took long enough. It got put on hold for the tiny paintings but it’s done and I listed it on Ko-fi for sale.

I messed up the date! I put 2024 so I had to scratch it out. I usually do this a few times before the new date sinks in and surprisingly, this is the first victim. It’s priced at $30. Which, considering what a fuck-up this is I’m not sure about, but I thought I’d start it there. I can put it on sale later. I also realized, that in all these cats in windows painting, I have failed to put any highlights in the windows! Just the simple diagonal white highlights, I’m not good enough for accurate reflections or anything. It’s also a bit of a mixed media piece as well. There’s bits of gouache, and acrylic marker thrown in for opacity.

Inspired by a couple of how-to books I recently came into possession of, I am going to do some experiments in watercolor. Looking to try out some looser watercolors and limited palettes. I will post the outcomes once I have time to work on them. I have manga reviews to get done this week so those have to take priority. I used to always say, that if I could just draw and paint all the time I’d be happy. Well, let me amend that to: If I could draw and paint all the time and earn $500 a month through art I would be happy. Or rather, I could afford art supplies an maybe a few extras. $500 would be a start at least. It would be nice to have a career which has a general upward trajectory. Rather than what I’ve been doing since college… Fuck. I have ruined my life repeatedly.

OH and if you have purchased my art, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, post pics on your socials and link it to my instagram or Ko-fi!! I need the exposure! Badly….
