I’ve been working on my search engine optimization #seo and if you google my name “Christine Parker” I show up on the first page of results but there’s also a musician and another artist who does oil paintings and like a lawyer or something and I MUST DEFEAT THEM

Made a rough mockup of what my floral mural design will look like on my office wall, ish! It’s definitely not 100% accurate to scale but the flowers are still way bigger than I thought 😂

Reading in bed every night with my husband and my dogs is my favorite part of the day.

Now all I have to do is clean out the entire No No Room so there’s somewhere to put the office furniture, then clean out the office, move all the furniture, order a new desk, take everything off the walls, and paint the entire room Gentle Wind blue

I “painted” my floral #mural design to get a feel for how to layer the color on the wall from background to foreground since I’m not used to making analog #art! It’s like a totally different thought process but I feel better about it having done this little exercise

After being sick for almost all of Feb, I finally felt good enough to take my adderall again today, so what silly shit should I hyperfocus on for the next 9 hours? Ideally it will be either more website updates or diving into cleaning up my office in prep for mural painting

Since I started #KickassFlairClub in 2021, I get all my stickers printed by Standout Stickers The quality is FANTASTIC, they ship fast, they’re a small biz local to CLE, and the staff are genuinely helpful and nice! Check them out if you need a new sticker manufacturer! www.standoutstickers.com

I opened up the #KickassFlairClub February shrimp stickers yesterday and 🚨SPOILER ALERT🚨 they are hilarious & adorable Here’s the 12 second unboxing timelapse: www.instagram.com/reel/DGVhDmG...

Thinking out this mural is blowing my mind a little… like the process of painting a large scale piece like this by hand is a completely different process than I’m used to working When I draw digitally I usually make the outlines first & fill in with color. On a wall the outlines will come last! 😳

Small businesses: in your social bios, if you say "no DMs, please email" PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS You're losing potential clients/customers otherwise. You must make it ridiculously easy for people to contact you!

Good news, I think I dodged whatever I was coming down with. I’m feeling a little better this morning and I don’t think it’s going to materialize into anything THANK GOD I know you all were waiting with bated breath

I think I’m getting sick again which is a pretty mean trick for the universe to play on me

Working on some sketches for a wall #mural for my home office 😍 The goal is to practice painting in my own house and make sure I actually enjoy the process before offering custom hand painted murals as a service to clients.

Earlier today I passed a cyber truck with a pink plastidip wrap. It looked like something Barbie would drive, if Barbie was a trashy terf and generally terrible person with poor taste.

I don't know what got into me today but I just put on purple glitter eyeshadow for a zoom meeting this afternoon

tomorrow is another day and that is absolutely unacceptable

I woke up with A FIRE UNDER MY ASS this morning 💪💪💪 After being ill for two weeks it is so nice to feel energized and excited to work on my business!

Fired off that project proposal on my fancy new template today. It’s preeettyyyy

I got that dog in me (I’m scared of the doorbell)

I need to clean my office* *swipe everything off my desk into a box and set it on fire

Mixed feelings? This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard

So you know how ADHD Brain decided it wanted to burn down the old [perfectly adequate] proposal template doc and rebuild a new one from scratch to ✨make it prettier✨? It’s so much prettier.

The sunglasses emoji was for the dick joke

Looks like we could get 4-7 inches today 😎

Is “STAAAAHP” cringe now? Like up there with my “lol” and my “😂”?? I felt cringe tying it but actually I don’t care because “STOOOOOPPP” doesn’t hit right and how do you express your “😂” without the “😂” riddle me this, gen z

WHY IS IT SNOWING AGAIN

Alright, that’s it. From now on, if you post images on Bluesky without alt text, we are judging you. Harshly.

Being miserably sick for two weeks has been excellent for my reading. I’ve read five books in February so far and I’m almost done with this bad boy.

Well I didn’t end up whipping up a brand new pattern collection, but I did recolor the funky floral I made for Kickass Flair Club into my beloved saturated oranges and swampy greens.

“I’ll just whip up a new pattern collection real quick” #ADHD #artist #surfacepatterndesign

Oh hello möthr it seems you are doing a floor cry instead of paying attention to me. Allow me to remedy that

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

By the way, if you have a project in mind and would like to see my pretty new proposal template tailored to your exact needs & budget, I have some availability in March christineparkerco.com/workwithme/

Please god let me feel well enough to sit at my desk for a couple hours tomorrow I feel so terribly behind on everything AND I promised a potential client a project proposal by Monday so naturally I am planning to burn down my entire proposal template and redo it from scratch so it’s “prettier”

Update: it was fucking killer soup www.thereciperebel.com/instant-pot-...

My spouse is making me soup in the Instant Pot so I can mainline a bunch of vegetables and be magically cured of this mild-but-hellish illness
