i’m at @ltuexpo today if you are looking for something fun to do today!!! i overestimated how much space i had, so not everything is out but i do have 3 new washi tapes, the love bug sticker packs, and a lot of other fun goodies!!
of course i am very late for #twinpeaksday but i have been working on this quote piece on and off for a long time and figured i might as well share it while i’m thinking about it!! this is a quote from twin peaks the return (2017), and i did remove the s because i thought it would fit nicer, haha. it is still VERY MUCH a WIP but i hope to post the final soon! swipe for some older sketchier versions, too.
some shots from the LOVE SHOW opening on friday night at @spotlitedetroit featuring the full reveal of my piece as well as a few of my personal favorites from the show (they are all mostly textiles, too!! SO MANY TEXTILES) as well as a little clippy of detroiters doing what they do best — A HUSTLE, to any and EVERY SONG!!! it was such an honor to be part of this amazing show and i am just sad i don’t have more photos to share— go check it out, it will be up until May 8th!!!
i am so proud of the piece i made for the LOVE show opening this friday! here are some very sneaky peeks at the process (without giving too much away about the final work). i put so much of myself into this, it is one of the most elaborate things i think i’ve ever made. a QUILT that is also a soft sculpture and collage, it would not exist without my mother and my grandmother, who taught me almost all of the techniques i used. i really hope you all come out to see it in person and experience love from my point of view. location tagged in the post so you don’t get lost on the way. scroll past the flier to see some extra goodies i have available for you and your valentine!!! 💕🥰 (DM for purchase)
hello, i’m still here i promise! and i have fun news! I’m participating in The Love Show at Spot Lite (in Detroit) opening Friday, February 13! This exhibition explores the many dimensions of LOVE including warmth, connection, and empathy while focusing on its positive energy as a source of light in uncertain times. it’s going to be a bit of a departure from my usual work — which i am really excited about!! i am sharing a few in progress things just for some attention LOL but the piece will NOT be digital so this is a rare opportunity to see my more detailed multimedia work!! come hang out and spread the LOVE!!!
was tinking about how i’ve been feeling recently,and what @colorwecrazy was saying about the recent new moon in scorpio (during mercury retrograde no less), and the statement STOP. GASLIGHTING. YOUR BODY. really resonated with me, so i doodled it! i wouldn’t say i have the best hand lettering in terms of readability and artfulness but it feels good to make art as a form of therapy, without worrying about it being good or “marketable” — i hope you all are taking care of yourselves!! sending love 💕 and sunshine ☀️
good morning! if you’re looking to start your holiday shopping early, come to warren mott high school!! the campus is huge and has hundreds of crafters and small businesses to support this holiday season. i mean it when i say it’s huge— be sure to walk the whole thing if you come by! tagged a few pals on the flyer slide as well so you know who to visit first! ^_^
mushabear art + design is an illustrator & fiber artist whose interests revolve around subject matter such as mycology, the occult, & retro tech — often taking inspiration from nature, subculture, and everyday “boring” objects. A multimedia artist at heart, she is always looking for new ways to delight her audience with the seemingly mundane & simple things in life (a few memes here & there, as well— as a treat). She aims to remain forever curious, & remind others of trinkets, tchotchkes, & memories long forgotten. You can find mushabear art + design at the Holy Bones Artisan Market on October 19th at the Ypsilanti Freighthouse from 1-9 pm. #cottagecore #mushrooms #mushroomcore #vaporwave #ecclecticart #HolyBonesArtisanMarket #Ypsilanti #Freighthouse #ArtMarket @mushabear
