I finished my mural today. A day early. I am astounded.
I always meet deadlines (unless they’re self imposed 🙃) but always squeezing in under the line, NEVER early.
All I have to do tomorrow is sign it.

It took me four months to paint my office #mural, because I was painting a little bit here, a little bit there, taking a break for a couple days, painting a little more, etc.
But it turns out if you #paint for 6-8 hours a day you will actually make progress very quickly.
Who knew

Two more full days of painting left. I think I’m actually going to finish this mural on time 😂
Today’s plan:
—Second coat leaf shadows, hibiscus stick things
—Move scaffold
—Finish ink outlines
—Chalk trace plane details
—Paint plane details
—Touch up palm trees, boomerangs

When the bug guy came to spray my clients house, he saw my mural and goes “Holy SHITSKI, girl!” Which is maybe the best compliment I’ve ever received

If this country is going to descend into fascism can we at least universally adopt bidets?
Like we may lose all our freedoms but at least our butts will feel fresh

Trust the process: unclench your butt and let it unfold.
…that sounds like your butt is going to unfurl like laundry in the wind. “It” means the process. Not your butt. Like, whatever process you are currently not trusting in? Stop that. But also relax your butt muscles.

I shared a reel yesterday showing how I used a VR headset to scale up my art for the #WallMural I’m working on
Technology is fun 🤗 and tracing my design with VR projection made the process so much more efficient

I’m on Day 5 of painting and painted for six hours today so I think I’m clocking in at around 30 hours currently?
Maybe not quite that many. Let’s round it to an even 27.

Made it to my tiny home Airbnb. It is not as funny as the aqualodge/swamp trailer but it does smell better.

I do not want to get on that scaffold again tomorrow.
I was terrified of it, but I conquered it. I made it my bitch. But I do not want to climb all over it anymore.
I’d like my next mural project to be at ground level, pls/thx.
