I painted more today!
This piece is called Dreamweaver: Sylphium. I’ve been posting Reels and TikToks three times daily to try and grow my accounts, and I challenged myself to make my three daily videos about it. Much to my surprise, I was able to do that. I’m usually much more camera shy and I find it very difficult…

We went back to the Domes today for the bonsai show and it was lovely!
I did NOT know that people could grow bonsai from seeds or young trees, I thought they had to be purchased fully grown. I know almost nothing about them. I learned a fair bit today and I would love to join our local bonsai club. It might be a problem, given that my body responds…

Emerson and I saw model trains at the Mitchell Park Domes yesterday!!
We’re gonna come back later today for the bonsai show. I love bonsai and have wanted one since I was a teenager. I don’t think I will be able to buy one, but at least I will be able to see some! -Allēna

I had a fun day with Emerson today.
He convinced me to leave the house and we ran errands while playing this weirdly Christian questions game designed for kids. It started with a question like “if you could design the tastiest sandwich ever made, what would that sandwich be” and by the time we’d gone through all of the questions, Emerson had had…

Here are some pieces I’ve made in the past couple of days.
I’ve begun experimenting with bolder colors and less strict realism. I’m very happy with the way these pieces turned out. I’m calling this first piece The Lighthouse. I don’t exactly know what to make of it, I was running with an idea I had and I thought it looked cool. Here’s a video of how…

I painted this self portrait today.

I wanted to do more today, but showering and being out in the sun yesterday took me out.
I did revive Eight’s and Laz’s Death bit on Reels and TikTok though and watch more of the very interesting show The Three Body Problem. -Sender unknown

Very slow day.
My guts hurt and I feel like I was hit by a train, so I didn’t do much today besides sleep and watch TV. -Allēna

Hi, I (Allēna) am back in front and low-key panicking…
I know that the people who know me will probably be like “what else is new” but I’ve honestly been so hung up on the fact that it’s been ten years since Xavier died this month that I forgot that all of the albums that I wrote and recorded in the wake of losing him…

Allēna is gonna have a fuckin aneurysm when she gets back to front.
Not only have I painted her and Emerson a variation of Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi as a Valentine’s Day gift, but I DMed Electrical Audio, the studio where her and Eight’s tragic hero, Jason Molina, recorded their album Magnolia Electric Co before the late, great Steve Albini passed away, as well and asked…
