Todays progress it's a tricky part and it's easy to get sucked into details. It's important for me to still be loose and make brave marks. This is the time to put it on the wall and stand back from it. See it as a whole 🌐

A loose start to a new painting 🎨🎨
Getting down the basic composition, and colors that will be under other colors.
In my head I only have a basic idea, and am open to any change.I fully expect this to end up very different.

More testing Japanese calligraphy paper this time 7.5kg extra thick. It handles the paint and other media so much better then the last one. Next I'll try the bamboo.

Testing Japanese paper (rice paper) for the next journal I make.
Quick sketches and scribbles using every medium I have.
So far I found it bleeds through, doesn't hold up too well to wet on wet. But is beautiful for neo and Stabilo crayons. The pages wrinkle but I like a wrinkly page 😁

What's your automatic doodle? The one you do while talking on the phone or scribble down when you're not thinking? Mine is loopy loops.

Sadly it turns out my PC is not just pining for the fjords. It has passed on and is no more.

I'm trying to have a new build up in the next few days but it's going to be expensive. If you want to throw a few bucks my way it's appreciated but never expected. Watching my VODs/YouTube helps for free! 💜

WELP! My PC might be well and truly dead. Been trying to get it running in safe mode all morning but it looks like I'll need to take it apart.

Please wish me luck that I can fix it and get back to streaming later this week.

Until then if you want to support me:

ITS HERE! My mini zine for my strawberry milk zine! Best part: they won’t spoil in your fridge because it’s made of paper!

troubledminnesotan.bigcartel.com/product/stra...

A hand with black nail polish on the thumb holds a mini zine over a plant. The cover has a tiny gremlin human holding onto a large strawberry as it splashes into pink milk

The hand holds the open zine over plants.
PAGE ONE
panel 1: cut up the strawberries into small pieces.
Panel 2: (You can sneak a few bites, I won’t judge)
Panel 3: Then put the goods into the blender in this order: 1. Strawberries 2. Vanilla 3. Milk. And then add as much honey as you want for sweetness.

PAGE 2
Panel 1: then blend it together until it’s somewhat smooth, no lumps. This may take a few minutes.
Panel 2: pour into a cute glass.
Panel3: then enjoy!

I used to do this. JDI is inviting folks to write holiday cards to incarcerated people. It's simple: you sign up and they send you cards to write: justdetention.org/woh/ - perfect for people who are homebound.
