WWBD? 💍
Hi friend, how do you find here? I've been thinking a lot of about Britney spears not just cause #FreeBritney, but because my mind is a pop culture black hole and also because of little Phoebe dancing in front of her mirror to "lucky" (Oops I did it again was my first CD) and tying my shirt into knots.
I keep pulling the same cards, writing the same things in my morning pages, all signs from spirit point to staying present and I am revolting. I am consumed with future versions of myself that I believe have all the answers, spending time trying to crack the code on their cypher. Past versions of me are filled with shame about what I have or haven't said or done and I avoid all versions of present me. I pick up the phone, I stay distracted, I don't sit down to write or I don't think closely about the cards. I think of Britney Spears and the ways in which different versions of me has loved many versions of her. I think of the many versions of myself that I hold inside and asking which version of me is truly present in this moment.
And if I can take any lessons from Britney, which parts of myself can I celebrate and hold to when everything else is a tornado? Can I just be present? can I find here?
FAM PORTRAITS ARE BACK! I have opened up slots for family portraits. I usually only take these commissions on once a year and only a couple at a time. My favourite part about drawing these is that absolutely none of the drawings I've done are a nuclear family only.
They are always a rainbow of components, people and small animals that make up these portraits and I think that is the most beautiful part of creating these. As a a human who's family has lots of asterisks and explainer lines, I find so much joy and peace in seeing the multitudes of ways families can be created hanging on peoples walls 💖
