January 2024 update
I should think of a better title… oh well. Since I’ve been meaning to get back to regular updates but haven’t, and since a quick DM about my bio prompted me to slap up some new pics of the work I’ve been doing since I last updated, and since...
Planting, spraypainting, and a random selfie
Fortunately the temperatures are a bit lower this week, which is nice… but won’t last… It’s made working in the garden more pleasant, of course. I’ve been yanking goutweed as I’ve been able, though there’s a lot more to yank. And I’ve been planting more. Speaking of which, I...
Prints, pastels, and 1990s Pyra really shoulda kept better records
Saturday again. I just got back from dropping another trunkful of stuff I don’t need anymore off at Value Village (and there will be a bunch more) along with renewing my membership at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, which I almost forgot was running out in a couple...
High heat, slow decluttering, and a few blooms as always
It’s officially iguana weather: So that kinda sucks, lol… I was upstairs doing a bit of sorting in the clutter/disaster zone of a spare room to get it into order and after a couple hours noticed that it felt crazy hot in there versus when I started. I have...
Spring clean-ups, bees, and blooms
Well, I spent all day out in the garden yesterday and got a sunburn… I really should know better by now… really, I should… Guess I’m cancelling this week’s IPL face-zapping. And while I’m whining, I think I have a cracked filling. Guess I know what phone calls I...
Whole lotta art stuff going on this week
Another week down. I was at a monotype workshop today, pics on that other post. Speaking of Ricky B., it was time to set up his very own Instagram, even if there’s not real followers yet: https://www.instagram.com/ricky_b_rat/ So, on that note, here’s the favorite Ricky sketch of the week:...
Nick news, ratmobiles, fountains, and more
Hey, my neighbor’s finally back from wintering in Arizona. My dad and I were starting to worry. What else is new? The latest Nick White episode, for one thing. The subtitles aren’t properly done yet because I keep getting some weird “taking longer than usual” error message when I...
Cards, sketches, and new Nick White (for real this time… soon…)
Another week gone by… let’s see here, I started back to clarinet lessons and apparently I haven’t completely forgot everything, just 75%… but hey, maybe that means I’ve forgotten some of my bad habits too. One can dream, right? Well, last week I mentioned my scheme to make handmade...
Some whining and some artmaking
So, last week I was bitching about needing to get my taxes together. I suck at math so I obviously got an accountant to do it (but sure as Hell not the one who had the data breach that led to me having to chase down identity theft stuff...
(Insert Pithy Title Here) Weekly Update
Week flew by and I feel like I’ve done nothing… which isn’t true, I think I planted some stuff in the yard. Still sorting out the fraud bullshit I mentioned a while back and that seems to zap my energy. Speaking of zaps, I went for an IPL on...
