Hello! 👋 Time for an update: The Telescope synth video is being put on hold. Definitely not the news I was hoping to deliver after all this time. But after almost two months of trying, and dealing with an avalanche of issues (drive failures, motherboard failure, software issues, a plethora of personal life stuff), I’m now at a point where, even though most is under control again, I have clients & collaborators (whom I made promises to months ago) relying on me to move on to other projects and vids. At least for now.

As y’all know, I do all my own editing, and it often takes +40 hours to edit my vids, easily longer for one like this. If I were to squeeze it right now I know the quality and energy of the vid would suffer greatly. It was a really hard decision to put this vid aside now, after all the work to make it happen and how many people were looking forward to it. But a rushed, slapped together vid without heart put in is not the kind of content you deserve from me.

HOWEVER, some positives: I do have the footage, it’s been successfully reorganized and backed up. So there’ll hopefully be time to revisit and get this story fully out into the world sometime later, (and by then there may even be more story to tell! ⛓️🐘🤫).

I can’t tell y’all how much it wrecks me on a personal level to hype you guys up, to create an expectation, and then not deliver. It’s not the first time it’s happened either. But this one really hits because of how special this project is and how much positive energy and support surrounded it. I’ve been told I’m being too hard on myself, that it’s just one video, nobody really cares that much. And even if that’s all true, the way I see it is y’all literally made a dream come true for me and I dropped the ball on the one thing people were hoping for, and that’s just not an ok habit to put points toward.

A good thing to come from all this is I now have a way better backup system, so hopefully something like this won’t happen again.

Onwards and forwards to new vids.✨ I dunno if a post like this is an appropriate one to ask y’all to stay tuned lol, but if you do, I’m honored and grateful to have you here.🙏❤ Thanks for reading, sending love!

What a crazy couple weeks! Get ready for an update dump (For context, might wanna see this Short first if you haven’t yet: youtube.com/shorts/2p_rSfq1r2s)


First off, for those who have been hoping for a video showing the full creation/adventure behind the Telescope Synth artwork, good news! It’s happening!🙌 But it’s gonna take a bit – right now, realistically, it should be coming out around the end of August.


I lost most of the footage a couple weeks ago when I lost two hard drives at the same time. It took a crazy week and a half of little sleep and running around trying to get help, but the footage was eventually recovered. It’s a disorganized mess, but it seems to all be there.


Losing a week and half and having to re-install my entire computer setup really disrupted things and I’m now behind on client work. So before I can work on this vid, ya girl needs to pay her bills first lol😅🙏 (including those from the drive recovery shenanigans). Editing this vid is also gonna be a beast with how much went into this project. But it’s gonna be worth the wait, y’all. I’m so excited to show you the ins and outs of this crazy creation.💕


Also, those on IG already know this but Cage The Elephant saw the Telescope Synth. I couldn’t be more grateful to my awesome community for helping blow up that vid on IG, and for the battle with TenHundred. Who woulda guessed a random spin on a wheel would lead here? It’s gonna be a couple months before I can really share more updates on CTE stuff, but I’ll keep y’all posted!


In the meantime I have another vid that should be coming out soon, around the end of July. It’s all about art supplies, and it includes a giveaway, which I’m stoked to be able to do! Stay tuned.


Also…. I prob shouldn’t be teasing this so early but… there mayyyy be another artsy synthy art project on the horizon.🤫👀

And we just hit 130k subs here and 7k followers on IG.❤


What a month. Ya girl is so full of gratitude and awe (and just a wee bit tired haha). Thank you for being a part of my journey. Sending so much love.💕🙏

Hey y'all!! I emerge from my ghostlyness with a surprise! This has been so hard to keep secret, but I was invited back to ‪@TenHundred‬ 's channel for a CHAMPIONSHIP art battle! This time, against the winners of the last 3 battles, and we had to customize instruments! I uh... went a little ham with my project.👀👉👈 Also, I've been battling a double hard drive failure... I've lost so much footage I took this last month.😥 Including 70% of the process for my side of this battle. BUT... the show must go on. I'll be posting a Short in a few hours and will find a way to make a longform this month. Will keep y'all updated!❤🙏

Hey y'all! I was recently interviewed on the 'Art Supply Posse' podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/2aJrg2EExMD5utDe7M2MN8?si…
I know I have some new subbies here and this is a great listen to get to know more about my origin story of becoming an artist if ya'll are curious. We also chat about art supplies, algorithms, and being multidisciplinary in a word that wants artists to niche down. A fun, chill chat to listen to while working on some art! 💕
Special thanks to Kim for having me on!

So apparently YouTube now has this "Community" feature where subscribers can make posts in my community section? I don't really know how it works but... Let's give it a try! What creative stuff have you been working on this week? Make a post about it!🎨

New video is liveee!!🎉 https://youtu.be/CJxMfaLciBI One of the most fun vids I've ever worked on, from the artwork to the filming to the editing. Many thanks again to ‪@TenHundred‬ for inviting me to this art battle.🙏 Btw, I'm running a thumbnail test and I'm curious which one you guys saw/clicked on?

Howdy!!👋 New longform vid is dropping tomorrow at 10 AM EST!!🙌 Get ready for a fun short film. It's the adventure behind the 3D artwork I recently made for an art battle with Ten Hundred. There will be art making, history deep diving, and venturing out of my studio to gather materials and inspiration. How ready are we??

I've been keeping a secret.👀 The one and only ‪@TenHundred‬ invited me to partake in epic art battle on his channel, where we each had to remake a classic piece of art from history!! So much work went into this from all the artists involved and the end result is an absolute blast to watch. So much creativity, talent, and good vibes. Go check it out and then be sure to vote for who you think won the battle!!💕

I posted a Short showing some of the bts of my piece: youtube.com/shorts/lCIU5lQhJP...
And am currently working a longform to show the whole adventure that went into making my artwork. It usually takes me a while to edit major vids like this, but it's gonna be a fun one.🙏

Sooo I just posted my first longform vid in many months (https://youtu.be/7Vtt8xX7M44 ) and it's flopping quite hard😅 I'd love to get your guys' honest feedback so I can improve.🙏
Those who saw it said they loved it and wanna see more like it, but me thinks a combo of it being a long time since my last vid, and the subject/style being a bit different than my previous vids confused people.🤔
Any feedback is appreciated! (Especially from those who saw the thumbnail but didn't click.)💕
