I'm Shirley, a Black/Korean woman who makes really cool art.

It's Juneteenth, and Black people still have yet to receive reparations. But here are some of the ways you can financially support me today! ✨💖

Patriots mascot waiting for their team to score so they can do their job
Pablo Escobar Waiting Meme - Pablo Escobar Waiting, also known as Sad Pablo Escobar, is a series of three screenshots put together of Pablo Escobar (played by Wagner Moura) in the series Narcos staring blankly in three different screenshots. In the top image, he is sitting on a bench swing. In the bottom left image, he is sitting at a kitchen table alone. In the final image on the bottom right, it looks as though he's in a driveway? Or something? I honestly always thought it was a drained swimming pool but I've never seen the show so I don't know. He's just standing outside somewhere near a crumbling wall, basically.

Aht Aht water spray bottle meme. It's just a clip art image of a person spraying a water spray bottle with the text "AHT AHT" juxtaposed on top of the image.

If I were a running back and handed the ball, I would simply not run directly into the big pack of opposing football players

The vibes of this latest season of US Traitors are OFFFF.
I've watched so many seasons of this show and this season has been by far my least favourite.
I typically enjoy the all-celebrity seasons, but this one is just not...it. LOL

Thinking tonight about how my people read the night sky for their very survival and freedom. The stars helped guide us to safety. And we used our relationship with nature to get to freedom. Nature helped free us.
I love being Black. ✨💖

I wonder what constellation our sun is a part of in another civilisation's cosmic story they tell of their night sky.

A look at the blue and white Year of the Horse memory jars I made 🐎💙✨

SOLD

A photo of three ceramic jars done in a blue/white colour scheme (one features red highlight details here and there). Each jar has a small sculpted horse on the top of the lid, and they feature a running or leaping horse design on the main body of the jar along with floral borders.

Photo of my two red envelope pieces. One has a golden horse leaping between two California Poppies with a sun rising on top of it. The bottom is a painting of three black horses that appear to be leaping along like a parade of ponies across the envelope. They, and the surrounding border, feature golden details. This is an image of the digital flyer for the show

I started putting peanuts out in the backyard a few years ago to try and befriend the local crow community.
It instead attracted the local Scrub Jay and squirrel community and that's cool. But I still hope that one of these days the crows will catch on.

Horse Mug 🐎✨
This was an experimental mug that I ended up falling in love with and keeping for myself! Absolutely loving the speckle clay for mugs ✨✨

#art #pottery
A small ceramic mug done with a speckle clay so the body of the mug has a cream white colour with freckles and speckles all over. There is a black horse painted on the side with sgraffito details such as a blanket that has the “female” symbol on it. There is also a red sun painted above the horse, and a red handle with sgraffito floral details, and a California Poppy, carved into the side and top of the mug’s handle.

Did my first ever horse show and came out with 4th and 6th place in my classes! Really proud of myself and happy to be representing the melanated equestrian girlies in the ring 💁🏽‍♀️✨💖
Photo of me, a beautiful Black/Asian queen, standing with my noble lesson horse (he's a chestnut quarter horse with a white blaze) holding up one of my ribbons while the other has been attached to the horse's bridle. I'm flashing a great smile while he's making a "blep" face.

I am feeling so vindicated and justified with my defensive driving this morning on the 99 in the fog after hearing that there was a 59 car pile up this morning around the time I was on the road.
People were seriously out here driving without their lights on going 70-80 MPH and you could barely see.
