I made a little YouTube channel that I’ve worked on a lot the last few years, and I’d greatly appreciate anyone who wanted to see it. There’s a link at the end of the video. #artist #illustrations #scarystories
It’s my roommate’s birthday, so I made a pie that I’m going to eat by myself in front of him. I learned how to stabilize whipped cream and use a piping bag for it. It’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever baked - which isn’t saying much - but I wanted to preserve it here for posterity.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I just finished this with some leftover tones from another project (which became the equivalent of painting with dried tar. Never again).

It’s been five years since Kermit showed up two days before a tropical depression hit and decided not to be a stray anymore. He’s the best thing that ever happened to me. We survived a pandemic, a Category 4 hurricane, two tornado warnings, 12+ vet visits, and more. Here’s to many more years. ❤️🐱

Kermit is sleeping peacefully after violently destroying the couch that isn’t even paid off yet. Happy Caturday.

I just saw an ad to report schools who still practiced DE&I. How did Americans become so fucking fragile that the idea of giving someone other than straight white men a shot is bad? Why is this idea of tolerance so taboo? What the absolute fuck. Every day, it’s like a test to not become enraged.

Kermit, Caturday, and cookies, in that order.

I just opened the door to feed one of the outside cats—aptly named Pazuzu—and he was sitting on the porch with a fully cooked hotdog in his mouth. I have so many questions.

Every year when it gets to be close to autumn, I bake a ton of cookies for my friends. And then I remember that I don’t have any friends, and I eat them by myself.

Happy International Cat Day to my one true love.

Happy Caturday. I know times are bleak and many of us are struggling and discontented—believe me, I get it—but it’s more important than ever to find what you love and hold onto it. This is mine right here. 🖤

So my process has been to take some time off from writing lately, because it’s at the point where everything feels stuck. But mentally, I’ve been considering who/what to trim out.

Happy Caturday from my slipper-stealing, toy-loving, perfect-picture-taking cat.

I made this painting of C. Thomas Howell, and he shared it in his Instagram Stories! It’s pretty thrilling for me! 🎨🎭🖌️

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Happy Juneteenth! While it’s necessary to have a day that marks the end of slavery in the U.S., it’s equally important to acknowledge we still have a lot of work to do.

I recently just finished this painting of Oliver Jackson-Cohen of Hill House and Bly Manor and made a video of the process. #art #artist

Pride is a celebration of living proudly, loving openly, and simply being who you are.

It's a reminder of the progress we've made because of those who came before us, and our duty to keep fighting for the equality the LGBTQ+ community deserves.

Happy Pride, New York! 🏳️‍🌈
