A digital collage featuring a vintage-style portrait of a woman in profile on the left and a seated figure on the right. Both figures are partially covered with layered pink and red flowers. The background includes faded handwritten script and textured gray tones. Bright scribbles and dotted marks in blue, yellow, and pink are scattered across the composition. A central text reads about beauty being the light in the heart. Assembled in Procreate on the iPad. Scans of original analog art, elements from Century Library, and various brushes in Procreate, notably Alaina Jensen's mixed-media brushset. Kahlil Gibran quote, "Beauty is not found in the face. Beauty is the spirit that is the light in the heart" lends the sentiment for this piece.

Starting something new — digital collage.

Layering old images, flowers, marks, and words… seeing what happens when they start talking to each other.

This is #1.

cat cutouts positive and negative

A butterfly bookmark

i have a new toy: a cutting machine! I bought a Cricut Joy Xtra. This is SOOOOO much easier that a cranked die cut machine, plus I don't need a million dies.

Following Diane Antone Studio's lead on painting a messy hummingbird and flowers. The bird is not painted, the artist is considering whether to fill it in or not

full in the bird or leave it white?

idk what's worse, editing out Maui's nipples or Namor's bulge

this erasure traps popular culture between a Rock and a hard place

Let me write that part again: in the last 5 years there have been over 300 state anti-trans laws; compare that with just over 400 Jim Crow state laws in the last 100 years.
(No one wins an “ i’m more discriminated against” sweepstakes - we all lose, instead.)

awesome 🤩

i'm so craving Dot's pretzels right now
