This quote really resonates with me. To me, the way the process makes me feel is more important than the actual result. But it’s still nice to see my skills growing over the years.

@autistics

Realising that you are or can be quite difficult because, like autism, it is a spectrum. As much as the various aspects, like being full ace, or demi, or anything else are often described as fixed points on a scale. The reality is actually a lot more fluid and even changeable over time. Especially around sex and sexual attraction and how they work, or don't work. So it's difficult sometimes to identify with it, with any real confidence.

Add in being Audhd and it becomes even more difficult and perhaps even more fluid. Because, in my case, being more Demi-sexual, than anything. It is all about getting to really know and respect the person and without being able to do that, there is no real possibility of sexual, or romantic connection. And of course, the one thing we find difficult, is getting to know people. Or, perhaps, the right people. Because for the level of connection required, compatibility really is the key. And often, for us, feeling safe enough to be able to make that connection, isn't always the easiest thing to do and neither is finding the people who we even are compatible with.

This is but one of the many reasons why I think places like this are so important. We are a community within which it's possible to find and establish this. And I have been incredibly lucky enough to have been able to do so, where, I know, I never would have anywhere else.

I am in an open relationship with @KaCi a beautiful, incredible, polyamorous, woman who I love beyond measure and who loves me. And without this place, that would never have happened. It reminds me, that despite everything going on in the world, joy and beauty and wondrous intensity are still possible and in its own way, often made so by places like this. And I will always be grateful for it and for all of you who make it this way and of course, most especially for KaCi, for making this wonder possible.

In the spirit of 👻 Halloween 🎃, what is scarier, ND edition:

  • Having so many ideas to draw that you end up not drawing anything at all?
  • Getting into hyper focus while drawing and missing an appointment?

AMA about art techniques today! Want to know about color theory? Materials? Being a neurodivergent artist? My experience lies mostly with acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, animals, nature and colors! And ofc creating with an ND mind while being chronically ill. Let’s go!

I’m currently having a fibromyalgia flare up. Luckily I had something up my sleeve that I didn’t show you yet. Progress on my Raven painting that I made last Friday.

Metallic gel pens in my black sketchbook. These pictures are made by lamp light, but for metallic pens this actually works better.

What is your favorite painting of everything you’ve painted? For me it has to be this owl. I just love how vibrant it is! It hangs in my bedroom so I enjoy it everyday.

More sketches in my black sketchbook. This time with soft pastel pencils. This might be my favorite material so far. They pop and I can still work precise with them. I hope you enjoy seeing my experiments. For me it has been fun to work with supplies I haven’t worked with for years.
