Pencil crayon praise of the convertible amanita mushroom hat as unleashed by the enchantress Rayel Von Quade. Long may she reign

godzilla in the center enclosed in a bubble, as he is whisked away and teleported into deep space, outside of this bubble of light are psychedelic swirls and lines, various cosmic debris and planetoids. it is as if godzilla was tripping balls, in black ink on paper
Godzilla’s Cosmic Journey
every time i watch Invasion of Astro-monster i think just what is going on in Godzilla’s head, to be plucked up like a toy by some incomprehensible entity, what that must be like

Today in the studio// Crafting fun with my birthday gift! A manual die cutting machine. I have a Silhouette cutting machine I use for stickers but I wanted something more hands on. My favorite so far is the stamp sheets and envelope.

After: A mixed-media collage on a book page. Torn pieces of purple shimmering paper are layered together, with bright yellow gestural pastel scribbles on the edges. In the center, a small, white sliver of printed text peeks out that reads"completely naked."
A vertical rectangular scrap of paper featuring a dense, abstract texture of mottled purples and indigos with a silvery metallic shimmer. The paper is clipped into an open book with a teal plastic clip.
Week 7 #ArtPrompt: Scrap Pile Remix
Give a first attempt a second chance.
1. Take a piece of discarded art.
2. Deconstruct it.
3. Transform it into something new.
The original was a texture experiment that got carried away. Kept it for the shimmer. Perfect for collage.

Urban sketch of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. There is a magazine clip saying "something about the silhouette." The sketch is shaded with a gray watercolor wash.
A quick urban sketch today.

Sometimes you just need to take time to play, experiment, and have fun with your art.

I don't know where this is going. I just know that the air feels thinner lately, and we are all breathing a little more carefully than we used to.

A flat lay photo of the five books I made in March. There’s a turquoise book-fabric covered Australian Piano Hinge Book, two black covered accordion fold sketch books, a small eco dyed (tan colored with hints of blue and orange) Hungarian Map Fold Book, and a three signature pamphlet stitched sketchbook/idea book with copies of my own art in it - the cover says creative resistance.
Here’s the flat lay shot of the five books I made in March. The alt text has more descriptions of each book.

In this art journal collage, a young woman looks out defiantly from behind many pink flowers. They are above, behind and below her. She’s from another time - wearing a hood over her dark hair. Her background is an old encyclopedia page (upside down). I’ve typed the words, “Things Happening At . . . ) along the side. A purple butterfly is flying on top of the flowers and a postage stamp with similar flowers is in the lower left corner.
From the art journal archives 2022 - Things were Happening. #collage #artjournal
An art journal page inspired by my Scandinavian roots. I created a stencil of the bunnies facing away from each other and used them back and forth. Lots of doodling for each set across. The page is framed by a leaf pattern and there's a heart at the top center.
Ready for Easter? Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies...
