AW YEAH


GUYS. After 12 years, NO MORE LAUNDROMAT!!! I now have a (mini) washer/dryer!!! IN MY APARTMENT!!! *dies of excitement*

Rather, THEY match ME


I have gas pipes that I painted like a rainbow, and while I was facetiming my mom yesterday, she pointed out that I matched them very well. 😁🌈

Contrasts


It was dark and stormy, but I found the sunshine!

Access


Dentist-in-the-fancy-building is still all boarded up 'cause of the looting on 5th ave, but they open the doors during the day so my teeth could get in.

wow


Times Square: all dressed up and no one to show. I passed through yesterday and it was still totally deserted!

Bread store!!! 🌈🌈🌈!!!


Hooray!


Happy reopening week, NYC! I will miss the empty hood, but am eager for my beloved city come back to life (and to bring the rest of the cupcakes with it.)

Surely


My kitty has randomly started sleeping in the window, and when I go out, I pretend it's because of her uncontainable anticipation of our loving reunion.

Sweet


😍 I agree, fancy alpaca bakery—treats in my belly, love in my heart. 😍

He's smiling at me


My mouse was dying, so I got a new one.

Preach!


MTA ad in the subway station at 59th & Lex is awfully cheeky for the MTA, but not unnecessary. lol

O. M. G.


Photoshopped myself into my VR doodle to try and convey even a fraction of how insanely magical it is to draw with light at roomscale, in midair. 🤯

YAY


My favorite bakery is back!! Also, they remembered my name when they greeted me and wrote this super cute note on my treat box! ❤️

Essential

I don't actually need a crossing guard, but the one in our hood is so unwaveringly and indiscriminately cheerful and kind that I am so grateful she's around. ❤️


#blackouttuesday


Usually I'm all about rainbows because I love all the colors, but today I went with black because I love PEOPLE of all colors.

Run to dessert

I've started running again, but I've also started devouring all of the treats that are returning to the hood, so I'm not, like, getting healthy or anything. 😆

Yum


REUNITED! Oh, pistachio croissant twist, I missed you so. Best bread bakery in the hood is open and I am delighted to see my favorite carbs again!

Party Time


I drew this unicorn party and you are all invited.

Through the Woods


Amanda Red Riding Hood concocted this forest to experiment with drawing cute trees that weren't her standard green-cloud-on-a-stick.

That's how it works, right?


These extremely cute, optimally squishy things have come into my possession and I expect that life will therefore henceforth be stress-free.

Random Mermaid!


(Still practicing in my new drawing program.)

Happy memorial day!


Thank you, servicemen/women! Love you, 'Murica! ❤️

Mission accomplished


My first VR mission was obviously painting an airborne rainbow as large as physically possible, which was surprisingly difficult and extremely delightful.

Highly Scientific


Scientific diagram of Quest unboxing

I now possess magical powers


IT IS HERE omg my very own VR headset AND, despite having severe vision issues with these things in the past, I CAN SEE CLEARLY!!! *dies of excitement*

fancy-fancy


The lab in my dr's building was closed, so he sent me to the 15th floor in this other empty, fancy building to get my blood drawn.

Got the joint to myself


Cruisin' the UES on my way to the doctor, who appears to be the only one here...

Pandemic rainbow



Was I trying to look weird at the grocery store? No. But, was I trying hard enough NOT to look weird? Probably also no.

Meant to be


Btw, my glowing pear was accompanied by this adorable smiling light up rainbow bubble tea keychain and I have a HUGE crush on him.

This little light of mine...


The friendly man in my new meditation app suggested that I visualize spreading my inner light outwards to others, so here you go!

My Krita debut


Trying to teach myself new drawing software that's harder but better than photoshop and I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it, woo!

Reunion!


Bagel store in the hood is back open—I just ate a REAL bagel again!!

RAWR


Nobody that's seen my rawr dinosaur painted mask in action has been that into it, but I am nonetheless fairly pleased with how he turned out.

Support the cause


The flower stand man in my hood has returned from his covid break and he had my favorite kind!

UPGRADE


Guys! Look at this TOTALLY AWESOME coin purse I have acquired to replace the sandwich bags I've been using for my laundromat quarters!

HE'S SO CUTE


Me, having a huge crush on the pear in this year's city harvest ad campaign. The apple's pretty great, too.

Moist AND Cheerful


Have I told you guys about my dumpling diffuser? It lights up rainbow colors and helps maintain sufficient levels of cheerfulness in my apartment.

Getting the Lowdown


NYU hooked me up (virtually) with an awesome current grad student at the games center so I could get the inside scoop ahead of time. 🥰

Cuddly Laundry

Once, my friend got me a collection of dryer balls shaped like penguins, and I enjoy the adorableness they bring to a very non-adorable situation.

Aw Yeah


Looks like someone's about to score a seat on the train in midtown during rush hour.

Redeemed


Guys, honestly, I always thought dolphins were kinda creepy looking, but then I saw a clipart of one shaped like this and I have reconsidered my position.

Wishful Drawing


I just really wanted to draw a cute sloth. I also really want to BE a sloth, but that's unfortunately currently a biological impossibility.
