Let’s make some test prints together 💙

I miss the days when all posters weren’t an AI generated mess.

I spend a lot of time looking for moments worth painting, but every once in a while, a photograph asks me to be painted.
This one lingered with me for weeks. The joy, the tenderness, the complete surrender to this passionate moment of celebration is everything to me.

Maybe success isn’t something you earn, just something you notice.

A flower arrangement in this household is non-negotiable.
There is something really satisfying in observing and studying a bouquet for a prolonged period of time. Each arrangement I meet is a face, familiar in its structure but unique in its own beautiful way.
If you’ve never looked at some flowers for longer than a few seconds. I dare you to look a little longer <3

I painted this after noticing how often tenderness between men disguises itself as play.
Wrestling.
Shoving.
Shoulder checks.
Hands around each other’s necks.
You know it when you see it.
We find ways to be close without ever having to admit we wanted closeness.
Hold Me Bro sits in that space.
The title genuinely makes me laugh, it’s ridiculous. But I love the tension between the soft request and the hyper-masculine language.
Vulnerability isn’t the absence of masculinity. Maybe it’s one of its purest expressions.
Archival reproductions are now available.

People being people is one of my favorite things to watch.
Whenever I have the chance to sit and observe strangers caught up in their own little moments, I’m often filled with overwhelming and conflicting emotions. Sometimes it’s a feeling of love and community. I’m reminded that people are wonderfully weird, and that we should all let the social mask slip a little more often.
Other times it fills me with a sense of sonder and existential dread, reminding me how small my own reality really is.
Either way, it’s a good reminder that the people passing by aren’t NPCs. Each person carries an entire world within them filled with stories, fears, hopes and so much more that will always be out of reach. Feels like a pretty good reason to lead with kindness. ✨

Recently, a collector commissioned me to create a graduation gift for their yoga certification class, how sweet is that? 🥹💗
They came to me without a fully formed vision, which I loved because it gave me room to explore and play. We landed on a design inspired by energy and flow, something organic that could capture the essence of movement. They wanted an Om symbol incorporated, so I hand-carved and printed one onto every piece.
Thank you for trusting me with this project and allowing me to bring your vision to life. I can’t wait to hear what the class thinks of their new artwork. ✨
There’s something special about giving a handmade gift, especially one created with deep intention and care:)

It’s hard not to feel performative when sketching in public. Mostly because people perceive you and start coming up and watching. In a way, it’s always a performance.
A girl stopped and told me she wished she was artistic, but she is just autistic. Slay queen, me too.

Things I’ve done this week:
• packed orders
• celebrated Pride
• caught whatever plague is going around
• survived
• slayed/ate
Thank you to everyone who picked up a print in my shop. Seeing these leave my studio and head off to new homes has been one of the highlights of my first few months in LA.
Thank you little gay people in my phone for believing in me 💗
