Yes!...Unfortunately I kinda have to talk in order to promote myself and my art because unlike what you THINK just showing my ART isn't enough to make money.
$8k would remove the need to overperform and TALK since ya'll don't like artists to speak. 🤨
We are people too....

Pink and Strawberries! 💗🍓✨️
I feel like I didn't like pink growing up because of the way it was shown/marketed, often using a very particular pink, but there are different shades of pink that I like! I think it was also an issue with me not feeling I had the "right" to be "feminine" or "soft".

So why...are people trying to make up a different phrase for "bar for bar" and are instead....saying "round for round"??? 🤨 If ya'll don't go ahead...

I can already feel the fake energy coming for Black History Month and I won't be elaborating on that if you don't get it. 😑
Especially after some of the behavior seen yesterday, on Martin Luther King's Day...

I'm kinda hoping to work on more commissions this year. 😌 I am of course grateful for the things I got to work on so far last year but I like to push myself to do more and see what is possible for me. 🔮💜✨️
I got into more bookish art in 2025 which was pretty cool and different for me.

I have noticed this new way new artists interact with other artists just for engagement and...it's weird.
It kinda reminds me of how girls used to think acting "dumb" was cute in order to recieve pity and protection.
If you are an adult artist, you are grown.

Another study day ✍️🏼💗
The story behind the new chair and why it's pink is because my sister was like "Well, I know you are in your more colorful era so...I got you a pink one...they didn't have a nice purple...and you like strawberry stuff so"...🍓💗
So far, it's nice.
So far, it's nice.

I gave up doing portfolioday on LinkedIn…I actually gave up on LinkedIn quite a bit because honestly it hasn’t helped me at all and I do feel like posting there is a waste of my time and energy.
Also for some reason unknown men try to message women on there and that’s NOT IT. 🫠
