I want to do more, but I want to do some mixed media experiments first. I think I like the more realistic skull in the original sketch, might spend more time simply sketching Bob. In the meantime, I'll take photos of what I did while offline for a gallery blog post. Should be back online in a few days.

Omgs, Joe and I are the post 2020 Midwestern Gothic version of Dharma and Greg....

@BenA @nonayadambidnes I too am soothed when my kitty boops my nose, so I get it.

@BenA They make the cutest frenemies. Such bromance.

@corlin Next time someone asks what I do for a living and I don't want to answer, I'm saying I breed and train beavers for beaver bombing.

Damn, now I actually want glow in the dark paint.

Okay but if I want the money, got the marketing line for prints, which might be sold with invisible black light or glow in the dark details painted on each print so I can do the Thomas Kinkaod scam, but be "mistress of blacklight". Then, I can market it in tabloids as a magic painting that can "protect you from mansplaining".

My half crippled ass better start the costume with a kick ass cane. I can practice making the spasms look like jump scares and jiggly bones.

Hole-ey Fuck. I just found spider mites on the "lucky" clover. My response was to immediately plow down all the plants in the window box, including pink dandelions and yarrow. Y'all need to stop asking me for gardening advice, and the fact that I'm in two directories of people to follow in the "fediverse" in the gardening category is just embarrassing. Fingers crossed, send Celia prayers and wishes or whatever.

I need a tophat with silk Sarracenia flowers. I need a duct tape bodyform, and I can pull out some of the flowing clothes that don't fit, but make them fit better. And look better. Fuck, no sewing machine, no job, no sugar daddy. Um, I mean "patron". Or spouse, whatever. Damn, why didn't I ask more loudly for a sewing machine? Can I pull something together by October? Ugh, why do the best ideas come AFTER autumn comes?

I'm gonna meet a studly hippie/goth on my haunted tour and he will be my Hades, but open to Persephone's lessons of spring's renewal and love. We will do some art together.

But I think I know how I CAN potentially profit from my creativity, practice exposure therapy for my social anxiety, AND encourage myself to walk. Haunted walking tours of Cherry Street, the place I got my haunted moss from in the post that set me off on this Persephone kick. Just need to do some research, writing, and maybe score an interview or two. Make a costume, and a sign?
