Another stamp for outgoing packages or flats... also letters, I suppose. Newborn babies, perhaps. Forehead safe, depending on the ink. You can find it here: xxyxxy.com/items/kJncnkUf #inkStamp

The downside of old electronics is sometimes they break. The upside of old electronics is their wonderful documentation to help isolate the failure and repair it. PS: Thanks to @archive.org for everything you do! #rightToRepair #technologicalCurmudgeon #internetArchive

#floralFebruary Evergreen azalea I'm quite happy with the outcome of this flower. I sketched it a few times, created a test paint, then finally painted this. Practice practice practice! 🙇🏽‍♀️

Late at night a lamplight for their studies of that which defies, well, all you've ever known. Are they a cloister or cult? It's impossible to tell, since no one has ever really seen them. Original available at xxyxxy.com #lucubration #ReverseNonet #poetry #painting

It was super joyful to have this painting to work on this week. It’s for an art trade so it already has a very wonderful home.

Unfinished work. I need to varnish the ravens but weather and disability has kept me from varnishing these three. I still need to add a few touches to the sunflowers. Highlights and details. #workinprogress #art #studiolife #oilpainting #artsky

Today is Wednesday. My brain is not braining well. So here is a piece of art, sort of a weird inky piece I did for Soft Star Magazine a while back. (Possibly mirrors how I feel today, lost in a swirling abyss…) #SpaceArt #InkDrawing #InkyGoodness

#FebruARTy #ArtYear theme of abandoned spaces. I put out these #StreetArt faces in this decrepit public space. Walking by the next day I found that someone had added bobble eyes in anonymous artistic collaboration.

Right now, people are trying to make joyful, strange things despite: • The fear, angst, anxiety they’re feeling • Being told they’ll be obsolete by 2027 (they won’t) • The cacophony of anger and exasperation across all our feeds Don’t overthink it. Encourage them. Boost them. Support them.
