Kiss Off
art journal
morning page

I like how this piece can easily be read a few different ways, both positively and negatively. These are my mixed emotions coming out on the page right now, so I read kiss off as “kiss OFF”..as in, get the heck away from me. I also see it as an endearing, loving send off..like kissing someone goodbye as they leave. 

Honoring how I feel

I tend to go running to my art journals whenever I have a lot going on in my head. Ever since Etsy made that big announcement last week I’ve felt a mixture of emotions. With this, and personal stuff going on, I haven’t had the energy to make art for anyone except me this week, and that’s okay.

This is NOT a fairytale
Just calm down, hon
We’re all fine anyway

Instead of pushing through like I normally do, and forcing myself to work like a robot or machine, I hit the pause button. I put myself in timeout until I get my head on straight and figure out how I want to move forward.

I call this my “I don’t give a shit” art because it doesn’t have to be pretty or live up to anyone’s snobby art standards, including my own. 

Quit your bitching

This art is raw, honest, personal, highly expressive, and it means the world to me. I love and cherish these pieces. If my house was on fire, this is the art I’d want to save because it means the most to me. 

Update on Goimagine, Jon almost immediately accepted my application when I applied last week. It took me so long to notice because it went to my spam folder. If you applied to be a seller, and you’re still waiting to hear back, be sure to check spam. 

Have a great weekend, y’all. I’ll see you next week.
