Just like a small little set. Gouache is good because it dries really fast and you don’t need much water. If i have space for a laptop i have space for paints.Feel so much happier when i look back through my notebook and there's colours instead of weird sentences :)

like not too big but 24"x36" minimum... it's so much more fun than small scale stuff and allows for a lot more fooling around. you do go thru so much more paint tho

i've been working on the biggest paintings i've ever worked on and i decided that i would go to my local art shop and buy one paint, paint with that color until i was satisfied, then buy another based on what i did with the previous one... the cycle goes on and on but it's so fun to just let the colors choose u

my artistic side has atrophied lately but starting to get back into it as i realize it's.. huge for my mental health. extremely low barrier to entry. give it a try and open yourself up to experimentation on a rainy day. go crazy. i painted a self-portrait using a mixture of ash, water, and coffee grounds.

I came across the Nap Ministry via a podcast. I really believe in their ethos of “ rest as a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy.” It’s recontextualising rest for me slowly. Another quote that sums it up perfectly - “ how will you be useless to capitalism today?” - Brontë Velez . really makes me think about how I want to live my life.

I’ve been going for morning walks when possible in this overgrown cemetery close to me. It’s very peaceful and I can hear birds chirping.. It feels like a very necessary city detox. If I’m feeling stressed or anxious being amongst all the gravestones helps put things in perspective!

The concept and the storyline makes it a really great book in my opinion. It’s post apocalyptic but anti survival. The main protagonist has no memory of before the disaster so is completely unattached to the idea of the world so has to create her own in an almost barren landscape. Poses some really interesting questions on existence.
