every now and then I fall off my horse and forget how amazing it is to get pulled into the trance of pushing color around - rediscovering painting has felt a lot like coming home. i’ve been feeling quite dull and bored of my own art lately, so these past couple weeks have been dedicated to playing with new art supplies. I decided to order a cheap set of “jelly gouache” - intentionally crummy, so there was no pressure to make anything good, but they’ve actually surprisingly exceeded my expectations :) for christmas I was gifted my first bottle of Noodlers ink by the wonderful @drew_eastwood_art - and conveniently, the art store nearby had a hefty moving sale, so naturally I took advantage of the fact and stocked up on a few other colors. it’s been really nice using them with my dip pen, and then after going on top of the lines with this gouache; i love letting lines bleed and fade next to and behind the paint. it’s funny what paint will do to you - because I feel like my world has gotten a little bit brighter despite the Maine Winter going on and on and on, and I’m noticing color more in unlikely places. this might be the first year where i fully embrace the cold and the snow and stand full of awe over the blue on the white ground… thank you paint ❤️ thank you inks ❤️ all this painting has got my interest piqued - i think to myself, “i would really love to do my tarot cards like this”… I’ve been saying since 2023 that i want to paint a deck one day. but i’m in no rush to do it. I know it’s stupid to wait for the right time in life (because when EVER will it be the right time?), but it feels different with this. how can i paint a tarot deck when i don’t feel the call? or aligned? or ready for this massive undertaking? but in many ways i feel more ready now than ever. I guess time will tell. i hope you find some peace today, reader xoxo alyssa ✦✦✦ from left to right (enlarged images): “i trust you” 2”x3” “kiss me!” 2”x3” “the time is now” (WIP) 6”x6” “yoga pose” 2”x3” “Fish Head In Hell” 3”x3” Noodler’s ink Speedball dip pen Himi Gelly gouache

I miss the egrets and the herons, i’m waiting so patiently for their return. this is a collection of lil egret sketches I did for my wonderfully talented and awesome neighbor @franthornmusic - looking back is making me yearn for warmer days. the words in this drawing are sticking in my head as my community is bracing for a potential uptick in ICE operations. I can’t help but need some comfort after watching everything that’s happening, throughout the country but especially in minneapolis. please take care of one another, protect the vulnerable, and grab yourself a whistle. and for some people, it will not be all okay; keep speaking for the people who have wrongfully been abducted, and help prevent others from suffering the same fate. nothing is more important right now other than being physically present and showing up. be LOUD! 🧊🧊🧊 FUCK ICE 🧊🧊🧊 ✧✧✧ p.s. i am in the process of working through overdue patreon rewards 😵‍💫 this is a postcard that will be included in that. thank you for my wonderful patrons for always remaining steadfast and patient

year of the horse ~ feelin’ lucky! 🍀 🐎 halfway thru reading “braiding sweetgrass” and seeing the world with a new perspective… thinking of plants as beings (as always)… seeing the beauty in everything (as always)… simultaneously, feeling knots in my stomach over what could have been - and feeling bitter yet again over this land’s seedy history, past and present. i’m never able to look away, try as I might. how could you? today I played like a child and made art just for me. it’s been so long since I gave myself permission to :) again, happy new year ~

2025 was amazing!!! made so many new friends and memories, chasing my dreams, and livin’ life :) ✧ i did 42 markets this year! wow! ✧ hung up my art at 3 cafes ✧ co-hosted 3 art receptions with Drew at @easthausgallery & met many amazing artists/people I would now call my friends <3 ✧ got my art into my first brick ‘n mortar shop at @thebrightonemporium ✧ finally started tattooing! I’ve done 23 tats since late october! ✧ completed 3 major freelance projects & many small private commissions ngl i’m pretty burnt after all that! i’m in a weird place with art again, but i’m sure i’ll get back on track soon. next year will be dedicated to making things no one sees and being as unplugged from online as possible :) one day I’d like to quit instagram entirely. unfortunately doing this as an artist is hard. but in the next couple years, I’d rather focus on having my roots in my real life communities. social media is fake and it distracts me from what really matters. but with that being said - I’ve built such a beautiful and supportive community here, and I am so grateful for all the support I’ve received from both people online and from my markets and stuff :) all the sweet comments and messages about my art reminds me of the reason why I put myself out there. you guys genuinely make me feel so loved and important and I’m so grateful for that 💌 happy new year 🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎
