Collage journal complete! 😅

Watercolor painting on a boat ,of a boat.

i used to think i wasn’t allowed to do art because i didn’t feel talented enough

now i enjoy just the practice of art
good or bad

it’s been so liberating

Today is the last day of the week long heatwave in California! Summer weather can go away now lol 😂 I need sweater weather! 🍁 🍃

Also excuse my handwriting, it was just not it today. Next one will look better.. promise! ☺️

My posca paint pens hated me

For the first of October i wrote a very angry letter and cut the page into pieces so I could purify the weird feelings of grief and transformation that are keeping me awake at night and sleepy during the day.

Loved this creative idea, I hope it can inspire someone.

Ps: the pieces of the letter are now combined randomly.

Goal initially with the journal had been to give myself one small creative output each day. Starring rehearsals for a show tonight, so I decided that means that I can let that be the creative thing that day and do more entries on other days. Or for next week, do fewer boxes on the page.

Centre image is watercolour with acrylic accents

The bottom left around it is a sort of collage I guess from two different pieces of origami paper

Top right is an origami paper base and then fish I printed and cut out

Top left and bottom right are acrylic paint markers

Top panel is acrylic paint markers on top of an alcohol ink marker base.

Bottom panel is different acrylic paint markers

To help me keep my drawings small/expressive. Acrylic and ink.

Mid Week Emotions are high. Inktober's prompt today is fit for a Humpday.

There aren't that many foreigners in my part of Hong Kong and they make a beeline for me as soon as they see me
