It's hard to be all goofy and silly on my site when my city has been overrun with inept, evil feds. I was simply minding my own business in my house when I heard whistles, yelling, and car honking. ICE was being confronted by people who were on lookout including a council member of the city. As I am writing this now, there has been a report of a vehicle full of agents in my neighborhood speeding down a residential street.
They're doing driveby tear gassing, pepperspraying at point plank, leaving unused flash bangs in the street, pushing around CHILDREN ACTUAL CHILDREN ON SCHOOL GROUNDS, and more. People go into hiding at night too. The area gets eerily quiet. We all have to go about our days still, and we have to keep our wits about us.

mood: itching to create
I have been really in the mood to have a new creative endeavor, but I am so in timidated by it. I'm considering making a bunch of patterns for folks to use if they want and like I want to make fun merch for people etc etc. If I made like cute stickers n stuff, would people want them? I'm not really in a place to purchase inventory currently, and I think print on demand sites are sketchy. The quality of print on demand products is so dubious. I don't want people to get shitty products. I have my ideal sticker printer that I like.
Okok my ideal shop would have prints (both like printmaking prints and print prints of illustrations), stickers, stationary, and screenprinted clothing. I'd want it to primarily be stickers because they're the best selling things in shops, and they're easy for people to get regardless of their income.
I also want to make like a mini comic. I really love the old 2015 instagram illustrated diaries or daily mini comics. That's the stuff that introduced me to illustration as a career. Artists like Frannerd and Gemma Correll.
I just love the early instagram era in general. I talked about it in my blog post about being cringe. All of the illustrators popular around that time loved the desaturated + softening filter. It was so overused. I loved it.
A lot of their comics were about the awkward weird girl experience in the world while being almost overly earnest. I was obsessed, and I wanted to be them so badly.
I am really curious about substack being a platform for comics like that. I was inspired by this substack post that I find absolutely beautiful. At the same time, I am questioning what substack would do for me that this site/neocities couldn't. I do have an audience here. Do I need another way to gain visibility? Do I even need the visibility? Obviously as an artist, I do need visibility + an audience to support my work. I am just thinking about how I want to go about it. That's all :]
You all are super rad, and thank you for 300 followers on neocities. I don't follow everyone back.
However, I do look at what you are all up to because you all do inspire me. I get really excited and
kick my little feet when I think about how cool you all are.
I also get a really good laugh from some of the
usernames. Y'all are so funny omg

It's late, and I am so tired.
I have been out all day. I met a friend first thing then ran off to the protests. Protests went well. It was cold, but the crowd made it warm.
I've done a lot of scooting stuff around on my site. In that process, I did break a few things, so apologies. Some stuff is a little messed up. Don't mind that until I get the time + energy to fix it.
For those interested, I have posted a new blog post on my newly refreshed + totally fun blog page.
I've archived the previous iteration of this page. Wanted to start fresh for the new year!
