I get so excited about the prospect of organizing my art supplies in new ways and I would say this is what it's like to be in your 30s but I genuinely remember being this excited about organizing when I was like 6 so. 'Tis what it 'tis innit?

After about 4 years of owning a food processor, we finally used the slice/shred attachment to make a *massive* salad and let me just say, absolutely bloody life changing. #AdultThings #DailyDiary #DailyComic

This year I've decided to give cross stitching a go! And I wanted to use my own art, cause that's always more fun. So I took a stab at making a pattern! It's not perfect but it's working so far and I'm excited to share the final product! #NewHobbies

Today I put on some music and danced like a goofball in an attempt to release some of the anxious energy that's been building in my body.

Then I sat down to sketch and decided to document the moment.

Don't know which made me feel better, the silly dances or the silly sketches 💃🏽

That anxious brain of mine is going absolutely feral this week...

Both of my eyes twitching is also an obvious tell that I am not feeling very regulated.

Happy January! One of my ongoing projects this year is making a watercolour mermaid calendar 🗓️🧜🏽‍♀️☃️

I really love how this one turned out!

When's the last time you drew an animal from memory without reference images?

It's a pretty fun little activity!

All the art I posted today totally flopped 🙃🙃🙃

Trying to remind myself the amount of likes doesn't matter but it really sucks to share art that you're proud of that no one likes. But, I'm putting myself out there and that's the important thing. So, just gotta keep on keeping on. #artists

First art of 2026. I think we're off to a pretty strong start 🎆

Just told my partner I wanted "mashed balls and meat potatoes" for dinner...

I meant to say I wanted mashed potatoes and meatballs but I'm sick and my brain isn't working properly.

Brush pens are so dramatic.

One minute they're like: "this is it. This is the end for me. Tell my family, I love them."

And the next line they're all: "an endless river of ink flows through me! I will live forever!!"

I'm sick and tired of hearing people talk about the "amazing images" that AI makes. Like have you seen what real life humans can make?! With their own real life hands??!! Have you seen it?!? Cause like, that shit's fucking incredible and you will never change my opinion ever.

I am immensely proud of this piece of art. Like, really proud of it.

There's just a sense of wonder and warmth about it that I love.

Currently, my favourite genre of music is folk-that-fucking-slaps.

The sentiment "I don't wanna be at work, I'd rather be at home" hits harder when you work from home.

I think I should start sketching in ink more often. Something nerve-wrackingly wonderfully freeing about it. 🖋️

Raise your hand if the restaurant removed your favourite (aka safe food) from the menu and now you're crying and having a very large meltdown because it feels like the world is ending ✋🏽

I don't understand how we have *all this technology* and yet for some reason I still can't curate my streaming services to give me selected TV where I choose the shows and they filter through the episodes I'm watching.

No, instead I'm living in dystopian-sadness future.

Time for my quarterly pop up to resurface from the darkness that is isolating myself from being perceived to say hey 👋🏽 because deep down although being perceived is horrifying, I also crave attention and to be seen. #justgirlythings
