I’m genuinely obsessed with this one. Plum, lavender, and carnation pink paint, bubble wrap dipped in archival ink as an improvised stamp, and micron pen for the fine linework. I kept debating whether to add one more layer, but I ended up being glad I stopped, I actually love how it looks as is. Le

This collage imagines an entire farm submerged underwater, windmill, geese and all, with a scuba diver reaching down through the surface to pluck one of the geese. One of my favorite pieces to bring to life so far, it came out even better than I originally pictured. For the full process video, i

This one taught me that sometimes less is genuinely more, I kept applying the paint too thick and ended up hiding the drawing underneath more than once. Still happy with how it turned out though, and that’s the nature of learning something new, you figure out the balance by getting it wrong a few t

Today’s tiny truth. This one is less of a stated truth and more a genuine question I keep pondering, whether real change ever comes from adjusting something at the edges, or whether some things have to be completely dismantled first before anything better can be built in their place. Creative destr

This one’s about trading the ordinary for the extraordinary. Routine work happens below. Above, someone’s stepping out of their comfort zone entirely, and finding a reward more dazzling than anything money could buy. #collageart #creativity #artwork #artistsoflemon8 #paperart

Recently I heard Bowie say you should feel a little out of your depth creatively, that’s where the magic is. So I decided to try out acrylics. It looked kinda crappy at first when my pencil smudged after I sprayed the water, but I kept layering. Adding the pink was the moment I thought “wait, th

Today’s tiny truth. In a world full of constant noise and notifications, quiet has become both harder to find and more essential than ever. It’s not just rest, it’s where ideas emerge, where self-discovery happens, and where real peace of mind gets a chance to exist. #quietmoments #wordsofwis

There’s a persistent myth that real creativity has to come from total isolation, some untouched, original genius pulling ideas out of nowhere. It’s never actually been true. Every artist is working inside a lineage, borrowing technique, symbol, and method from everyone who came before them, and mak

You’re allowed to ask questions about the future, even when people tell you not to worry. That kind of concern isn’t anxiety, it’s how the present gets examined closely enough to actually change course. A better future starts with honest questions about the one we’re currently building. #critic

A couple, their very large cat, and an afternoon spent playing piano outside a house straight out of a storybook. Sometimes a piece doesn’t need a deeper meaning, it just needs to feel this warm. #collageart #catlovers #creativity #artjournaling #cottagecore

Today’s tiny truth. Being friendly here isn’t an effort. There’s a specific feeling that comes from being around people who are naturally warm, fair, and easygoing. No competition, no tension, no performance, just genuine ease. Pledge of fairness, lucky, and effort, all words that landed together f

This one started with a window shape I loved and grew from there, hand-tinted panes, a woman caught mid-discovery, and a whole world quietly waiting just beneath the frame. #collageart #artwork #creativity #artjournaling #cottagecore

SALE. It’s easy. It’s inexpensive. You give more. That’s the trick of it, we’re convinced we’re getting a steal while still paying inflated prices dressed up as a discount. Consumerism doesn’t need to lie outright. It just needs good enough advertising to make price gouging feel like a gift. #c

He found a stick. Now he just needs someone to throw it, preferably someone braver than the family walking by. Jurassic Park’s calmer cousin, filmed here by someone who seems remarkably unbothered. #jurassicpark #creativity #funnyart #artworkoflemon8 #collageart

Once you truly know development is slow, things start appearing and sounding different. Real listening, the kind that’s trying to understand rather than just waiting to respond, opens up the world in a way that rushing never could. This one’s also a reminder to myself, growth doesn’t happen overnig

Be really refreshed... even in orbit 🍔🥤🪐 Part 4 of my Coca Cola ads in space series. Check out my previous posts to watch any in this series that you may have missed. The first four stops are done! Galactic Lanes, Intergalactic Delivery Girl, Coke Comet Pool Party, and now this one, Nebula

I had a pile of cut-out words that never made it into a collage, too good to toss, not quite right for anything, until now. Starting a tiny book of truths, one page at a time. First truth: create and risk violent rebirth. Creation isn’t always gentle. Sometimes making something honest tears you

This collage is about how war gets repackaged, filmed like content, stamped with official permits, and eventually softened into language like “fine tuning your life.” The violence doesn’t actually stop. It just gets a better publicist. #war #creativity #arttherapy #paperart #artwork

This one’s got a whole crowd offering her a Coke, a diver mid-jump in the background, and a bottle cap streaking across the sky like it just launched itself into orbit. Coca-Cola in space, round three. #collageart #cocacola #creativity #papercraft #magazine

I was looking for something to fill the space between the pillars and then I found him. The eye placement was just too perfect. Two images is all it took 🐙✂️ #collageart #octopus #creativity #artwork #arttherapy
