I thought mixing cyan and yellow with a little magenta would make brown. But Google informed me that I should’ve started with yellow and magenta. Oops. At least I got the two shades of brown that I wanted: one like red-ish brown dirt, one like poop.

Pictured here: my office and in the kinda far left hand corner, Crissi after her nails were just painted brown.

At first I had the idea to draw a smaller canvas and someone trying to paint with their feces. Yes, that’s disturbing, and I did not want a painting of that on my wall. So I just took one of my bigger brushes and swished it back and forth. Love. First with the red-ish brown, next with the other. Green and blue start showing through. And now this s**t is in fact worth something more than the stress and fear and exhaustion. I love this for me.

Pictured here: my canvas on the floor, Maybe now the s**t you pull will be worth something.

The next four weeks I’m basing each painting on a song from my ep These Songs, out this Sunday, September 27. You can pre-order here. On Fridays I’ll share a bit more about the songs themselves, which you can read about for $5 a month. Thank you for being here; I hope you have a great day.
