personal/mental health marker journal #4: family camping
Not too too much to say about this one lol when I lived in government housing some people in the neighborhood would set the dumpster outside of my room on fire a lot. I guess I was 16/17. They were not actually doing anything past that I suppose so I’d watching it burn pretty often while I was trying to sleep

mental health marker journal day 2: creating butterflies
”you’re not hallucinating are you? Like fully seeing things?”
“yeah, I am now. I can imagine a butterfly above my hand and it’ll just be there.”

you probably think this world is a dream come true, but you’re wrong
I was recently trying to explain my more personal paintings to my husband. Talking about the premise behind what I’m trying to show, what I feel about life. I talked about how life exhilarates, scares and brings me joy in the same way that a crappy circus blowing into town does. But! Specifically, there’s this feeling when something, like a county fair, is trying too hard to be happy. What ends up happening is that it feels unnerving. That feeling is really where my anxiety lives. It’s a tiny thing that sums up how I experience life.
I ended up summing it up like this: “when it comes to my personal body of work, I want people to feel like they’re having a panic attack at Disney World.”

Luigi’s Mansion, traditional
Been playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 with my kid and it’s been a blast. This idea popped into my head last night, the Mario brothers are perfect for this sort of strongman traditional tattoo style. Should I do Mario too?

my first project of the new year
I was so determined to finish a giant painting to start the year off. Gave her 6-8 hours a day for a week. Honestly, so fun and I’m feeling proud 🥲 this big beast is for sale but shipping will probably be… a little nuts
