Hello hello again
Last week was good- I was able to spend a lot of time getting creative and working on projects <3
ᗰOᑎᗪᗩY
After work I doodled in my sketchbook and listened to my audio book. I’m finishing up “Lord of the Flies”.
ᗯEᗪᑎEᔕᗪᗩY & TᕼᑌᖇᔕᗪᗩY
I started painting the outside of the chuck e cheese shadow box! I spray painted the base layer an eggshell/ off-white color.
I used pencil and Poscas to outline tile designs and the colors I plan to use. I’ll probably print some CEC iconography to decorate the outside with, too. I don’t have a lot as it is, so I think I’ll keep my memorabilia and pictures on the inside only. I plan to get more small collectibles to add to the display – maybe next time I decide to treat myself : )
ᖴᖇIᗪᗩY
I did some more stamping and drawing on my 2 personal hoodie projects. I love how they’re turning out so much!! I added a few new My Immortal quotes to the grey one, and plan to add more once these are dried/cured. Once I wrap up the body of the jacket, the final step will be to spray paint stripes on to the hood. I might add stripes to the body, but I’m not positive yet.
The purple one still feels like it’s missing something, but I have a few larger designs I plan to fill the space with. I think the goal is to just fill it as much as possible- more lyrics (maybe in a different font), more drawings and maybe some good stand-alone quotes.
I just can’t wait until they’re done so I can wear them out :,)
Not that their unfinished nature has stopped me from doing that, but still. . ... ..
I also made this cardboard cutout of Orel from the show Moral Orel. This particular character design is from a prequel to the show called Beforal Orel. I recommend the show so much if you haven’t already seen it. It’s an older Adult swim classic that is fantastic and devastating. Each episode is 10 minutes long.
This piece is oil pastel and sharpie on cardboard.

It was beautiful outside so I took a really long walk and did some hula hooping at the park
When I got home I made a little bleach mixture and used an extra spray bottle to put stencil designs onto some shirts.
Some of the designs bled a bit- I think I went a little too hard with the bleach. I’ve found that the best practice for a relatively even outline is to spray lightly with bleach, and when the remaining liquid gathers on the stencil sheet (a laminated sheet of paper) I use a paint brush to gather the excess and manually fill some gaps.
ᔕᑌᑎᗪᗩY
I hula hooped at the weekly city hall demonstration for democracy, and when I got home I spray painted and stamped some older Die laughing pieces. They still need to be cured and washed, but I like them better than before <3
last one is a personal piece - the back was initially blank, but i thought an all-over design would look better.
TᕼIᔕ ᗯEEK: further customize hoodie projects/ more doodling/ etc etc etc
lots i wanna do but no way to put it into words right now! I'm gonna post this and pick up a project and see where it takes me!
I kind of like the idea of a weekly log that is broken down in this way, but i don't know if it'll stick.
we'll see!
thank you for always coming back
xoxoxoxo
