Life lately via colour palettes! ⁠🎨
⁠
I've been struggling a lot with low motivation, low energy, low rise jeans coming back, Low by Flo Rida almost being 10 years old, etc etc 😬 and I've been really hard on myself and trying to continue forward at lightspeed, but making this post reminded me how much inspiration there is to be found in slowing down and noticing! 🔎🐌

Which palette is your fav?? 🤸🏻‍♀️

One of my most used "lines" at markets is that a lot of the messages in my art are really just reminders for myself, and it's a great feeling when others resonate! 💞

So here's a message from me to me, and also from me to you! You're doing the best you can, sweetie! 😗

(Also, I've had to explain what a beeper was on more occasions than fingers on my hands, so I guess another important message behind my work is that I'm old lolol 👵📟)

I asked the Magic 8 Ball if everything was going to turn out okay and it laughed in my face! Am I crying, or is the moisture on my face from the ball's cackle-induced spittle!?? Back to taking it one day at a time, I GUESS! 😬⚫️✨️

Inspired by the "Hot Girls Read" tea that I've been slurping up for the last couple of days!!! 🍵 I couldn't figure out how to fit "Hot Girls Aren't Selfish And Don't Try To Gatekeep Generic Phrases But Instead Use Their Creativity To Put Their Unique Spin On Things" so here are some other sentiments instead!⁠ 😬
⁠
NOTE!! The first slide might imply that the HGR creator uses AI, and I just want to clarify that I don't think she does, and this isn't my intention!! Just a mixing of two *facepalm* worthy topics that have taken up residence in my head!⁠ 🤪
⁠
With that being said, I will be filing a trademark application for "cry" and "feelings" so you better not use those words or you'll be hearing from my lawyer (my turtle O'Neill)!!⁠ 🚔👩🏻‍⚖️✋️🛑

Monopoly really taught us all we need to know about life - roll the dice, spend money, borrow money, quick stint in jail, cry! 🤪

Going bankrupt and pretending I had to go to the bathroom when I actually just went to sob on the stairs was a defining moment for me as a kid, and is actually where my money scarcity and risk aversion mindsets stemmed from! 😬 (I'm only 25% joking lolll)

The inside of my brain takes various forms, like an office crammed with overfilled filing cabinets or a post-session rage room, for example 😅 I'm trying to get it to regularly look and feel like a sunny beach on a warm breezy day but more often than not, it looks and feels like the 401 E from Dixie onwards, gridlocked and chaotic, with Pump It by BEP blasting on the loudest speakers possible... and my thoughts are the innocent little raccoon trying to make its way safely across the 27 lanes!!⁠ 😵‍💫
⁠
It also gets a lot worse worse when I PMS! Being a period-having human is soooo fun! 🤪

What does the inside of your brain look like?!

Boy, am I a big fan of an SSM (Slow Sunday Morning™)! And a sunny SSM before a LWM (Long Weekend Monday™)?? Come on now!...

Hello, I'm Carmen and I often post about big feelings and big thoughts, but I also sometimes post the big dumb things that live in my head and make me laugh and won't leave me alone until I bring them to life, and this is one of those things!! 🤣👋
⁠
If I had a slice of Spam for every "likely fraud" call I've been getting lately, I'd have gout so bad they'd make my ancestors tremble!! 🥲 (Did I also just unintentionally make this an early Filipino/Asian Heritage Month-adjacent post? LOL)⁠
⁠
Verdict is out on whether this is a good "hi, I know I've been going ham on market promos for the last few weeks but I am still first and foremost an artist and this is an example of the art that I make, pls take me seriously" post 🤔 especially with all the new pals that are here... BUT unfortunately I am still recovering from the string of said markets and this design was all my three functioning brain cells could muster!! 😅

Anyway, bookmark this one under "if you can't laugh yourself, how in the hell you gonna laugh somebody else?", or however that saying goes!! 🤸🏻‍♀️
