Feeling a little under the weather today. Though the weather is nice and rainy.

My kid loves me though and I couldn't be more happy to have her. I'd still love a few days of solitude with some books and paints. But we take what we can get.

In other news I got this listed this week so taking that win!

Enjoy the day however you need to. Your loved no matter what.

I'm curled up in my favorite chair wrapped in a warm furry pink blanket this morning. The weather is lightly rainy, cool and dreary. The bird calls echo in the forest. The only thing that could make this better is if this sleepy morning lasted through tonight. I'll enjoy it for however long I have it though.

I've had a bit of a drawing block recently. Either that or it's part of the grief depression cycle blocking me up. I decided to work on some old sketches a bit and try to make them print ready but I can't seem to narrow it down to like a good top two or three. I'm thinking A and I. Maybe C?

I reworked and old sketch into this beautiful pale green and holographic cicada sticker.

Can't wait for the double broods to hatch this year

When I started down this path a year ago I didn't set many goals. Or any really. I just wanted to produce something from all the art that had been pouring out of me for years.

This last year has been difficult personally. i suffered a ruptured disc that causes me excruciating pain and temporary lost use of my dominant arm. I'm still battling this pain.

I lost my mother after a six year battle with cancer. It's only been a few months but melancholy has become my new companion, one that I actually yearn for at times as it feels like home now in place of my mom.

The holidays coming up are hard. The "firsts" without someone are difficult.

But this numb little place I've been throughout this year had really helped to push me to create art and to not put down the little things. While I want to focus on art prints next year, this year my stickers are exactly what I needed.

It's been so nice getting all the wonderful support and kind words from people. Knowing that other enjoy my art and stick it on things they see everyday makes me really happy.

I need to set some goals for next year. And as fall and winter settle in it will be a good time for personal and business introspection.

Thanks for the last year of support!

21 days until Halloween 🎃

The original design was very bright green and pink. The printer said they could only do glow in the dark with no color. Which may be true for them but other printers have done it for me before. Oh well. This was my first time trying this printer out and they weren't horrible. But their limitations and long production time has kinda confirmed I won't be using them in the future
