In the spirit of it being #SpringAgain in the northern hemisphere, and the day of Biz Markie’s birth (April 8), here’s a recent painting by me. I’ve been playing this song every year since the time it was released. . 18”x18” Acrylic on cradled wood panel.

Here’s a fun exploration into an Impressionistic art style. This is one of my challenges to be less “realistic,” and enjoy placing bold brushstrokes in a sort of “strategically random” manner. Enjoy this badass cat. . Cat’s Not Impressed 8”x8” Acrylic on canvas paper

Fun acrylic paintings I've created in the last few weeks. Lately, I've been feeling the strong drive to paint more regularly.

Shoutout to the people who have found me/are finding me after my energetic departure from that other platform. I see that the decision years ago to use a memorable moniker has served me well.

My website, mistycreates.com, is now live! I put in many hours of work arranging elements throughout to get the presentations “just right.” This is a place for me to present myself as an artist, and ALSO as a solopreneur. Take a look throughout the rest of my site, and let me know your thoughts.

I’m currently experiencing those rare days in which, while physically hungry, I have little desire to eat. My appetite is passionately being channeled into creative work. Fortunately, I had a light leftover salad in the fridge to carry me through until I actually cook a meal later. 😄

Interesting to see the recent controversial shifts on this platform since I created an account in mid-June 2023. Oh, what a time.

All of a sudden artists are concerned about the future of social media. Losing a platform should not make a difference in your mission.

I have 50 mini paintings I’ve created, that adorn the walls in my home. I’m on a journey of creating 50 more, with the intent of being more experimental. Taking a slower, scenic path, artistically. [30 sec. video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ct7ENZdqWjq/?igshid=YzcxN2Q2NzY0OA== ]

A fun fact about me is that I have a degree in telecommunication and will die on the hill that media—all of it—has never recovered from the deregulation and consolidation made possible by the Telecom Act of 1996. Don’t get me started on what it did to minority-owned radio and TV stations.

It’s worth noting that I stopped listening to regular radio in 1996 and switched to college and public radio entirely. (This is also why I know nothing about modern artists and why the Grammys are an exercise in futility for me.)

In a YT video titled, “Why every radio station sounds the same,” Phil Edwards goes back to early American radio history to answer this question. Also, it is now CLEARER to me HOW the 1996 Telecommunications Act, signed in Clinton’s administration, is significant in this. https://youtu.be/nhapXNTzdQI

Going to be the opposite of Twitter and view every thought on Bluesky in the best possible light. If someone says “I like pancakes”, I will think “this person potentially also likes waffles, which are also delicious” Yes bitch, that is a supportive viewpoint, that’s what we are all talkin bout

Periodic reminder for newbies that this works really well to find your Twitter follows on here- I rerun it every few days and always find new people. (It’s not perfect but it’s pretty good) https://skeet.labnotes.org

I may as well post this while I am experiencing this energy, currently on this platform: I am enjoying and appreciating the vibe of openness and amusing wit, here. May it stay that way for quite a significant while.
