watercolor lesson
Yesterday my friend came over to give me a watercolor lesson. It was fun to learn about how to do it. She taught me about warm and cool colors, the kind she uses from a tube, and a little about mixing colors. We tried wet on wet, wet on dry, dry on wet, and dry… Read More »

hugging a tractor
I painted these backgrounds and realized the kid-me would have been thrilled by the colors. Lavender was my favorite color, when I was a kid, and pink with white. I was thinking how sometimes when a trans woman starts living as a woman, who had lived as a man, her way of dress and makeup… Read More »

crazy
I made a meme about crazy. Drake seems pretty reprehensible in his “Hotline Bling” video. I laugh and laugh, at Drake and the messed up, misogynist things he says to the addressed, in this song. He’s so transparently trying to shame her into being loyal to him–staying home and not changing–when it’s clear, she’s escaped… Read More »

happy birthday to Mama

Drugged, ignored, dismissed unless our art becomes wildly popular. The other people are too busy to feel. I never got desensitized. I can’t watch… Read More »

belt
“Hey, you know my belt?” Ming asked. “Your belt?” I asked. “Well, your belt,” he said. “Yeah, the leather one,” I said. “Whose belt was that originally? I think it’s been passed down through the generations.” “I was wondering if it would be ok with you if I started wearing a rope belt.” “Hmm. A… Read More »
