Today, I do my vendor booth set up by myself for the first time. It’s a lot of stuff, and it’ sgoing to take double the assembly and tear down time, but I have to do this eventually and now’s as good a time as any.
Wish me luck!

A LOT happened this weekend in my little world.
1st #FridayNightMarkets in Arcata, CA.
1st #BlockPartyOnFSt by the Redwood Art Association.
Won an Honorable Mention in the current RAA show.

Returning to #FridayNightMarket tonight, and excited to get back to interacting with real people and get out of my head.
Selling some limited edition, numbered and certed 11x17” prints for the first time tonight. We’ll see how it goes!

Illustrated phone wallpaper of a marbled godwit, surrounded by a pale tan paper texture with vignette shading, cross hatching, a bokeh lighting effect, and a double halo of glowing white light. Predominant colors are pale brown and pale steel blue.
Made this brand new bird image on my livestream yesterday. It's a Marbled Godwit, which is so popular here in Humboldt there’s a festival named after it! Enjoy! 🐡 🎨 🪶

Heading out to Oyster Fest in nearby Arcate in northern Califronia. Should be off the hook! I hate oysters, but the festival has a bunch of art and crafts, so I’ll be scoping it out for participation next year (hopefully)!

Photograph of a booth at an art fair, featuring a mad with a bear in a colorful apron standing next to a decorative table with greeting card on it.
So, um, on a personally happy note, I did my first weekly vending experience as an art stationery maker. And it was thrilling, validating, terrifying, & humbling all at the same time. I made $206, which was $6 over my goal, and I’m beyond happy!

Going to a mixer tonight for local maker-businesses and artisans. The last two meetups have been amazing, meeting a lot of great folks. Last time I met another artist doing what I want to do, and the chance to hobnob was amazing! Looking forward to this one!

Met up with local artist and new friend, @tedhsu-art.bsky.social to discuss the digital art world here in #HumboldtCounty behind the #RedwoodCurtain. It was delightful, and I learned **SO** much! I needed positivity and real-life connection in my world.
This helped! Thanks, Ted!

Panoramic view of a pond with surrounded by green redwood trees and blue sky in the distance.
Photo of redwood trees beside an asphalt access road, with blue sky in the distance.
Spent time in my local city park, a 5-minute drive from my home.
Sequoias. Green. Majesty.
Relaxation. Rejuvenation. Restoration.
I am incredibly lucky to be here.

It was a lovely day here in Eureka, CA, and the kite flyers were out in force at a local kite festival!

Photograph of an orange painted paper plate in the form of a basket of flowers hanging on a hook on a refrigerator.
A local elementary school class left this on my door today.
It might seem curious for those who've never celebrated May Day. For my family, it was the polar opposite of Halloween: secretly gifting baskets of flowers and candy to neighbors we loved. No expectations. Just kindness.
Wonderful lesson.
Amazing drone footage of the local art fair Friday Night Markets, which I was just accepted into! I can't wait!!

Photograph of mandala made of flowers and other organic materials splayed out on an asphalt road with dappled sunlight.
Went to our city park here in Eureka, CA to see some compost art.
Yes, art made of compostable materials.
It redefined what "manadala" meant to me. It was gorgeous in its simultaneous ephemeral-ness and eternal-ness.
Does that even make sense?

Photograph of a living room with large windows and sunlight pouring in from them onto a wooden floor. The walls are buttercup yellow and the furnishings are generally brown and wood.
My living room in my new home this morning: lots and lots of mentally refreshing light!
It's going to be lovely weather today in Eureka, CA. People are out mowing their lawns. Walking their dogs. Remembering that there are things that can't be taken away.
Don't let them take your joy.
