Artist in NZ
I have prints 👉👈

Also I'm gonna use this site for shitposting. Actual factual art is on Instagram (same handle)
I dress on theme for every movie I watch in cinemas, so I always look like a super fan for every movie I go see. I also typically go with others, and only twice have people dressed up with me, and one of them was Barbenheimer.

So I'm in a group AND the only one with themed makeup.

Watched all the Back to the Future films and then watched the new Avatar. At least when BttF recycled its plot, it did so while winking at the camera.

Loved the creature designs, the moko, and the signing ('birth' and 'I'm fine/its fine' were the same as NZSL!)

I'll wait for the concept art book.

What flavour of 'wrong with me' is it when being asked if I want to join in on optionally cleaning feels like a herculean task? Like, absolutely, yes, I want to see my floor again, but oh my God, no, I do not want to move books to closet. I will instead sit on my bed and attempt to unclench my jaw.

So this wasn't a school bus, but one in Auckland city a few years ago.

The driver had the worst road rage I've ever seen. He threatened to shoot the driver in front of him (!!!), and called him a "cuntie". Never heard that as a noun before. Fascinating.
There's a distinct class difference between kids that took the bus to school and those that didn't. I remember being the one to pass on the horror stories to my peers of what happened between home and school. Every day, a new tale to tell.

I will tell the best of them here.

Currently holding a hot water bottle to my abdomen and running my hand under cold water because I managed to burn myself. Goodie. The joys of being a woman.

The perils of being an artist and not a marketer. I'm in the middle of painting fan art for the first time since I took art seriously. Should be a good boost for my exposure, yes? It's not Stranger Things, so no. It's a sketch podcast one (1) person I know listens to. Fun, but God damn.

Found the template of every dating profile.

The feminine urge to risk your own safety by being nice to people.

I may be a little oblivious but I don't think I'll be missing the sun disappearing for 100 years.

Playing Scribblenaughts trained me to use Pinterest.

"No, no, no. Scruffy beard! These are all too neat for the character. This isn't scruffy. How about... big? Big beard. Why did that work marginally better?"

I don't have the mental fortitude for a lot of popular hobbies. I know it would introduce me to new people and give me something to do to relax, but I just can't get past the taste of cigarettes.

Nostalgia trip in the Hospice shop.

"Whats for dinner?"

October woes:

Designing a wizards staff for Halloween and immediately going, "Well, THAT looks like a penis."

The goats hoof at the bottom wasn't helping, neither was adding fur to said hoof.

I call out into the void, "Are you not entertained?"

The void does not respond. Not in words, but in feeling. It says to me, 'You feel like I should care, that your efforts are wasted on my expanse. You are an ant crying for attention from the sun, yet it is night. Your body shan't be warmed...

You know what's crazy? The amount of people on dating apps that joke about gaslighting people on their profiles. Like, I don't know you. I'm not gonna be the one falling for someone going out of their way to say, "I gaslight people, lol."

I miss when my problems were obvious to an outsider. I still had people judging me for being broken, useless, and "faking" but I could at least point to a physical problem. Now? Not so much. There's a problem, it's just not obvious. Symptoms are frustrating, not sympathetic.

Update: my entire face hurts including my teeth and chin??? Somehow??? Anyway, I don't think I grew out of teething, it's just teeth grew in the way. I will not be elaborating.

I am sick.

The entire middle of my face aches.

You may send your condolences and any pharmaceuticals you have to my PO box.

One time I was playing geoguesser with my friend and we were wandering around a wee town. We were debating where in the UK it was and ended up guessing England because we had both started unconsciously humming the Wallace and Gromit theme. We were correct.

Yeah yeah, they got an Oscar or whatever, but have they worked with the Muppets? Been on Sesame Street? Tell me when they become cool enough to be karate chopped by Miss Piggy.

Sometimes, the references I make aren't for anyone else. Not everything is about you, you know.

Throwback to the time I finished a show I had been hyperfixating on for months and then immediately watched the teaser for Shrek 5 and cried actual tears because I couldn't handle the psychological damage of both disappointments at once.

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm so neurotypical.

Save me. Save me from elaborate plans I don't have the money or energy for but am excitedly planning anyway.

I take ubers sometimes so I get to see all the fancy new cars. Gonna be honest, lads. Door handle technology was good enough as it was. That was not the squeaky wheel that needed the grease. Entering/exiting ubers now feels on par with using someone else's shower.

Sticking my fingers in my ears and yelling, "I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE," is actually self care and very good for me, thank you for asking.
