Throwback to a blog post I did last year about 10 civil rights advocates from present day. Each advocate has an accompanying illustration.

This booger is officially 27 today!
.
@connerherbison You have such talent, patience, and kindness. I cannot believe all the amazing things you accomplished in 2018 and I cannot wait to see what you do in 2019. Honestly, you are the best guy I could ask for (but of course, you already know that ) and I have loved watching you grow these past two years.
.
Happy birthday, babe. I’m looking forward to 2019 with you.

#top9 posts of 2018. Thanks for the love this year, y’all! Looking forward to what 2019 brings.
.
Also, can I just point out that one of my “top 9” posts from 2018 was my “top 9” post from 2017? Apparently I needed to share more pics to Instagram…that or y’all just really, really liked a summary grid

I meant to share a handful of posts on the blog this week, but instead I chose to nestle into the holidays, spend time with my family, and give myself a rest these last few days of 2018. Sometimes it’s nice to cut yourself some slack, who knew?
.
I hope you had/have yourself a lovely holiday season as well (btw, happy start of #kwanzaa)! May your last few days of 2018 be restful. ❤️

Have you noticed the gift guide on the blog, yet? One to two times a week I share a list of presents perfect for your picky friends and quirky family members. Recently, I shared “A Gift Guide for New Parents.” I asked my parent friend what gifts they would of loved to receive after their first child and they gave me some perfect answers. If you’re still on the prowl for a holiday gift for first time parents, this list was made for you. Link in bio.

I’m thinking about doing a #womencrushwednesday on the blog once a week. Or maybe I should call it #womencrushingwednesday or #womencrushingit? Thoughts?

Yesterday I saw @childishgambino with my #1 @meganfschulz. First: it was absolutely amazing. The band, visuals, sounds, and of course Chilidsh, were just astounding. So glad to of been there
.
Second: I have never heard so many white people sing the n-word in my life. General PSA to people who are not black—you can’t say the n-word, even is it’s in a song and you are surrounded by thousands of people. Please stop, y’all should know better. ‍♀️

Here’s a photo of me pulling up my pants. Has literally nothing to do with this caption I need some advice again!
.
Though I am an artist (see my personal account to scope some paintings @g_stamps) I am NOT a photographer and especially not a photo editor. I can level and crop and content aware it up, but I want to learn how to edit raw photos and use various filters. I don’t have an innate eye for photography . Do you have any recommendations for me to up my skills? Specifically some good resources and/or online classes?

Some of my favorite things during winter: chilly mornings and steaming cups of coffee.
Unfortunately, it is quite warm today and I am very disappointed
.
Hbu? What are your favorite parts of winter?

Though the blog is on hiatus at the moment the shop is active! I’ll be updating it periodically with small batch, handcrafted goods.

Right now you can get these beautiful hand painted cards for Mother’s Day. They sold out pretty quick so I have just restocked!

These cards were a labor or love. Each is unique in one way or another. Link in bio if you’d like to order one just in time for #mothersday
