Loving the 3rd season of Love On The Spectrum and had to make a tiny sign out of a quote by Dani. "The taco of success always drips with the salsa of failure. #loveonthespectrum #tacoofsuccess #poscaart #tacotime #vintagesigns #neon

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Signs for Harmons Grocery, my day job. I use water based acrylic pens on sintra board for these. My job is to make shopping fun and informative through art. It's a great job! #grocerystoreartist #welcometothejungle #punny #houseplants

The depths of the algorithm have brought me this gem. I know not who originally created this cursed image, but I’m dying laughing at “European Daycare Goat” as a description for the Krampus. 😂 I’m def Typhus Lady, except replace typhus with insomnia.

Years ago I was visiting The Neon Museum in Vegas for the first time. I walked around the bend and gasped. There she was! A wonderful childhood memory. This amazing sign by YesCo is from Cedar City, Ut. I had no idea she was in Vegas. I love her so much I finally painted her. China Girl, 11”x 14”
