howdy everyone, I know it's been quite a while since I've picked up Tumblr, but I'm really stressed right now. I live in st Pete Florida, I have all my life, and after both hurricane Helene and Milton me and my partner are really struggling.

our house is fine, and we even got power and wifi back within a day after Milton. however, we have been out of work since September 25th. not unemployed, but the building where we work has just been very very slow to reopen.

what is normally a ~$1200 for each of us was a little over $900, and our upcoming pay isn't looking very bright either. unfortunately, we don't have a car or any other means to make money right now.

if there is anyone looking for commissions right now I'd be more than happy to draw any scrimbly or doodad or the gold mine of furry porn. if not I would super super appreciate any traction on this post or my commission post below. I'll be posting some more art soon since my sheet is a tiny outdated 💜

Cat Poem

By Logan Anthony

There once was a cat

With a gold baseball hat

Who loved how it felt

To be rubbed and pat.

This cat that I know

Could steal the show

From any dog, bird, or lizard,

He practically glowed.

This cat didn’t mind

What you called him in time,

Something Scottish or German

Would do just fine.

Or practically anything

Swedish or Thai,

He thought of his names

Like clouds in the sky.

This sensual cat

With the gold baseball cap,

Adored to luxuriate

By purring on laps.

He pawed and he meowed

As he wound through a crowd

Of people at parties

That were raucous and loud.

He lived for the night,

And would playfully bite

When he wanted attention

Or you pet him just right.

Perhaps you have seen him

In parks or in clubs,

He’s like a chameleon

Everyone loves.

If you see this cat

With the gold baseball cap,

Don’t gasp or be shy

He doesn’t like that.

He loves hugs and kisses

From Mr.s and Mrs.s,

And anyone outside

Western gender limits.

Go right up to him

And call him a name,

If he turns his ears,

He’s ready to play.

And this little cat,

So mannered with class

Will always say thank you

If you scratch his ass.

Woven Sea Pattern Stone Crab 2!

It’s stone crab season here in Florida. I love that these are sustainably harvested and that the claws grow back. Crabs naturally lose claws all of the time. The harvesters here are required to never take more than one claw per crab and then it’s returned to the ocean. I love their unique shape. This piece would look great in any home or office that wants a touch of the sea! Great for beach…

ABOVE THE NONSENSE

[longlistshort]

The work above is from Regina Durante Jestrow’s current exhibition Free Form Connections at Dunedin Fine Art Center.

The artist’s statement about the exhibition-

This exhibition includes my organically shaped geometric art quilts from various series from 2020-23. I utilize improvisation, repeat patterns and shifts in scale while incorporating colors, textures, and structures representative of the diversity of the people and the natural surroundings of my current home in South Florida.

I use diversely toned second-hand, gifted, or saved fabrics and dyes from locally sourced plants and rust. Textiles are also manipulated with burning and staining with inks and acrylic paint. Other materials, such as neoprene, sequins, and faux leather, reference Miami’s pop culture.

Along with my constant interest in American Folk-Art Quilts, geometric-abstract artists from the mid to late twentieth century are my influencers, including Gees Bend quilters, Elizabeth Murray, Helen Frankenthaler, Anni Albers, and Gego. These artistic voices have driven me to create quilts of scale with strong personal symbolism and narrative.

This exhibition is on view until 8/13/23.

I've been working so hard for so many months in a row that my burnout is physically starting to hurt me. Between my body having muscle spasms and anxiety attacks, I'm in more pain now than in recent memory. Besides that, my mental health is in shambles - I've been getting so many things mixed up, confused for other things, hallucinating creatures outside of the normal things, and nearly breaking down into tears over actually nothing. I want just a week. Initially, I was going to take a whole month but I can't afford that anymore, not in Florida with this current economy. Is one week enough? Hahaha, nah probably not to be honest! Oh well! Thank you so much for your continued support! Currently, I'm making something like 1/4th of my monthly goal! (I'm bad at math!) Membership helps me not worry and lets me actually be creative! And even during my break, if members want their sketches, I will still be doing them. Commissions will still be open but slower.

please consider supporting a trans, enby, disabled lil kirture? https://ko-fi.com/torifloop
