Killaloe Fair you have such a large piece of my heart now and forever on❤️✨

Better late than never, I am continuing the dropping my phone habit 🥲❤️

I once again didn't take nearly enough pictures (mostly because I had a hoola hoop, didgeridoo or dragon staff in my hands every possible chance I got 😂) and these are the few that I'm sharing social media wide🙏✨

Beyond grateful for my amazing artisan/creative family and for the ever expanding goodness that is this journey into art as a reflection of life as opposed to imitation❤️

A massive thank you to the Killaloe community fair family and to Tanya Lyons for all you and your crew do to run these incredible events, I do not have enough words in my arsenal to properly reflect how truly inspiring this entire dive has been❤️🙏

Already planning for next year ❤️

This passion of mine is becoming a lost art it seems, the silly little doodles replaced with quick, generative, recycled but fully formed pieces- cheap thrills and endless content to absorb- and while there is nothing wrong with liking that idea and subscribing to it; I find it drives me so much further towards this, the imperfection, the curious play and the 'f**k around and find out' if you will, especially when inspiration truly spikes.

I create from a place within myself looking for peace, for stillness and for the ability to calm the noise and feel the feelings, to get in touch with the parts of myself I still don't know how to talk to, so I sit in creative space.
The human-ness of it all, ya know?

This is what leads to so many of my creations, on skin, in physical form made out of clay, fabric, wood, paint and stone and the like.

As annoyed as the rise of generative material has made me, I think it inspires me more; I recognize that there is nothing that I can do about the ever changing worlds of art, tattooing and those industries as a whole but what I can do is tend my own interests and abilities, to learn, to grow, to do better, move slower, take in more.

There is space for both to exist and I love people on both sides of this fence so I refuse to get too angry about it.

I often tell my clients to feed me their inspiration and references like they would prompt AI, let me take a whack at it. That seems to help, some people bring me AI references and it helps to give me a very real idea of what they are looking for but I do my best to direct them to organic references, there are endless online!

I have so much more love for every mistake I make these days because they are such a subtle and beautiful reminder that I am just a human, learning and mastering a skill that I am driven to by nothing other than blind ambition, passion and a want to live my life as I see fit❤️✨

To the human artists out there who create from a place of tending the soul, please keep doing your silly little doodles, you need those to be able to really...fully, live!

I am so incredibly in love with these candids from and love how well she captures the absolute work and play that is hobbit life working to make these events happen❤️🙏✨

These events are work, a lot of it, and each year I imagine it will become slightly more so and I cannot freaking wait to be a part of them! These events are unique in the sense that vendors don't pay a fee to be there, we show up and we ARE the event; the kitchen staff, coordinators, guest help; I cannot tell you how much each and every one of us pushed to make each bit of that magic happen, the constant adjustments, this hiccups that for a quick second felt held the potential of devastation, alas we press on and happy as hobbits to do so at that!

I am so grateful to have been among some of my best and closest friends who is also forever our Gandalf, our Samwise and our fearless Frodo, you bring out the adventure in all of us and I love you with all my heart! .christin for forever keeping the ship steering straight, you are the adultiest adult of all of us and yet you keep our inner children alive in all the best of ways, you and your little man have such an enormous place in my heart and .witch.guild for being my rock and my soft place to land while inspiring me to push so much further into my art and self expression, you inspire me every f**king day and I love you with all of my soul
And so many more humans that I get to see and love in passing, you all have such a beautiful piece of me and I am lucky to share it❤️

I met so many life long friends this weekend and I cannot wait to see what next year brings❤️🙏✨

Took the afternoon to connect while getting out of receptions reach today with some of my bestest buddies or as we call ourselves in our group chat "moss goblins' in one of my most favourite spots ❤️

We were straight up freaks for the creek today and screamed, played, climbed, crawled, found cool mushrooms and plants and of course feared on some MAGNIFICENT munchies❤️🙏✨

My heart and belly are full, back to work tomorrow ❤️🙏✨
