Good morning ya'll. I was mooned this morning.. But I don't mind.. It was pretty and round and big.. Always take in the beauty of the world, do it with humor when you can. It's worth it.. #humor #inspiration #fullmoon

Real talk.. I feel like I suck at marketing my art, my writing, and the products I have made.. I know I have good stuff.. But I have no idea how to show people that it is good.. Because I have cool shit! My art is unique! My stories are great! My products are cool! But I can t find their audience!

This is from the #book I am writing:

As I looked around the strangest thing was not the three people standing in my room looking at me.. It was that at the foot of my bed I could see my plush panther sitting at the foot of my bed. It was staring at me directly and was moving slightly..

#chipofwisdom Being a parent means that you will always know when you are being #cringe. Lean into this! Authenticity is a strength and should be passed on to the next generation! #mentalhealth #autistic #healing #artist #parenting

This gave me a giggle.. Plus a look at my #specialinterest and my particular flavor of #autism. #parenting #transparent #humor #autistic #audhd #artist #art #silly #carebears

#chipofwisdom Art is an act of creation and can be a spiritual experience.. Allow yourself to connect to your art and what you create will be devine! #art #artist #inspiration #mentalhealth

Chip of wisdom: The only #art that is truly bad is the art that is never made. #Draw that bad stick figure! Muddy that canvas with shake strokes! Experiment! Have fun! Express your joy, your fears, your trauma.. But make it! #mentalhealth #autistic #healing #artist #cptsd #chipofwisdom

Chip of wisdom: Not all #art is planned. Just like an oopsie baby, sometimes what you get may surprise you in a good way!

Chippy totally has never accidentally drank paint water late in the evening while trying to finish that one painting.. This is the first of many I hope

These pics are from a few weeks back. #Painting ornaments with my younglings on my birthday. Sometimes being #silly and having fun is more important than making a masterpiece.. Although my little gingerbread ornament is quite cute! #art #artist #humor #chipofwisdom

Chip of wisdom: Just like watercolors, you need to hydrate! You deserve to let your colors flow!

I have big things planned for the this page, until those plans turn into new plans, and then those plans get abandoned and shifted into a better plan that will inevitably lead to me rethinking that plan, going back to a previous plan and then realizing I am in burnout! #mentalhealth #humor #artist

I am really hoping to make 2026 my year. I have some pretty lofty goals, and ideas, and plans.. Let's see if it comes true!

#Art is personal. Art is human. Art is more than colors, lines and textures.. It is emotion.. It is a reflection of our own inner truths.. Making art is a personal journey and experience! #healing #artist #mentalhealth #autistic #cptsd #resilience

Kind of an experiment. This will probably look better under a black light.. Over all I am happy with it.. It is the first time I have painted a planet and spaceships. #art #scifi #mixedmedia #artist #nerd #starwars #startrek #space

Working on a new #painting. The theme is oddly one I have not really ever #painted.. Which is weird for a #scifi #nerd like me.. #artist #autistic #art

Engaging in your special interests or hyperfixcations is 110% autistic/AudHD self care! It helps regulate the nervous system and returns it to equilibrium! #selfcare #resilience #autistic #mentalhealth #audhd #autism #healing #spoonies #spoonie #artist

There's a misconception that to be an #artist or to create #art you need to be "good" at making things. Some will say "I can't make stick figures". The truth is that #arts strength is in its flaws, the human mistakes that give it character, the random stroke, the squiggly line! #healing #recovery
