Ash & Bones @ashworks@mastodon.social

I am not posting my mastodon info anywhere, lol. There is way way too much whining here

Applied to two jobs as I'm looking to round out my expenses and be less in the hole. I am going to start looking more seriously at taking commissions again too, but commission don't quite take the pressure off the way that steady employment does, at least--not until I have regular clients.

My whole life has had many moments where I feel like I don't belong.

Why not own it, let it have peace, and welcome other weirdos who are kind and supportive along for the ride?

This guy's got a bunch of blooms left. I love how different these two are?? Genetic flub maybe re: the one with fewer petal layers? Dahlias have been bred into oblivion so, maybe.

I'm puttin this boy over here too before i forget. My Mastodon can't all be navel gazing #mastoart #creativetoots

Reading up on goldfish and I am going to need a different home for them. 10 gal will be fine for a week or two tops, but I'm gonna probably turn one of my heavy duty plastic bins into a tank for a while instead. It's that, or I return them.

Pretty impressed with these. Haven't had a chance to do a test swatch of the caran d'ache but I'm excited to utilize them all.

Seattleites: "it's so hot!!" (75 degrees, 38% humidity)

Me, a Californian:

One more is on the way. Mmmmmm art supplies

I'll probably get the metal caps for the blackwings eventually. But these are cute.

These make me happy

The people who make high quality work and the people who make work consistently overlap but are not the same. It's interesting how we value one over the other. It's sobering--because it doesn't matter how skilled I am/am not. What matters is what I complete.

(reposting from private twitter bc it's. mood.)

this painting needs maybe... two more hours, and then it's done *is ready to move on*

It's time @CBWebb @SunScales

Feeling like no one cares about my work or stories this morning. Brain had a good response to it:

"well fuck em then"
