Taking walks wearing a mask.

It’s been a while since my last #shutteredstorefronts post, but that’s not for lack of shuttered storefronts. @bluestardonuts closed its NW 23rd location in May. I admit I’m not much of a donut eater, but Portlanders do love their donuts and seems wrong that we don’t have a fancy donut shop in our neighborhood anymore. Also, this is a nice little spot in a bustling area and I hate to see it empty. . . #markthistime #pdxlife #usk #urbansketchers #urbansketch #pdxusk #pdx #pdxlife #nw23rd #portlandoregon #portland #portlandnw #portlandia #smallbusinesssupport (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYH1pnnS7z/?igshid=1jhxhb4w9aeyu

Here are some work in progress shots to enjoy, taken for 'Bat Sh*t Crazy' spray piece. Rumours on how the virus started (by bats?) spread misinformation. The gas mask is a symbol of protection from all forms of virus’s – infodemic as well as pandemic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This piece has been on display at #disCONNECT #disconnectwalloffame @schoeniprojects @hkwalls for the last month, ending 23/08. It is available to buy from my website - Link in bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #puttingtheheartintoart #markthistime #artistsupportpledge #exhibition (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUVdRGlaCk/?igshid=shiilcc6q4w8

I feel the need to create all of the time, even on vacation and without my traditional materials like paint, paper, canvas etc. This past week I've been doing the beach and each night staying up late painting on my iPad. It's very freeing actually because I've given myself permission to just create whatever flows from my mind to my pen, and let me tell you that can be some crazy shit. (Not today's post though) A lot of the time I find my old illustration/surrealism vibes come on strong and I sketch in a very loose manner not caring about proportions or being correct in any way, just letting my creativity take the lead. I love to use ProCreate because it lets me watch my thought process after the fact and share it, just like I am with this bull painting. I have ear buds in blasting tunes and I'm always influenced by what I'm listening to. This bull happened to be created during a Soundgarden binge. #markthistime #jaimehaneyart #bullpainting #ipadsketch #taurusseason #zodiacart #vacationart #orangesky (at New Harmony, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZGDGkJPs5/?igshid=1lahap8eruua0

Four things I miss the most since the pandemic.

Spending decisions on fancy food, pre- and post-pandemic.

Some time things get a little bat Sh*t Crazy… And that’s ok. We’ve got each others back... Right? . #markthistime #artistssupportpledge #sould #sould_art #puttingheartintoart (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kv9RdlkMW/?igshid=1kbe39u8lqamm
