These last two pics are of my mom in her wookie costume lol After my disasterous but hilarious photoshoot, I went from missing my mom to finding comfort and laughter in knowing that I am my mother's daughter!
And then after that things got weird. These were taken back in 2021, a few months after my mom died. The Wookie mask belonged to my mom, who was known as Wookie Mom after she trolled me at Indigenous Comic Con in 2018.
I was trying to recreate the movie poster for Boyhood and instead of looking thoughtful and introspective, I just look like a dead wookie 🤣🤣 #starwarsfails#wookie

Don't hide your quiet strength from the world. Sneak up on whaling ships from below, crush the timbers with your mightly tentacles, and drag the wreckage back down into the eternal darkness.

The partner and I decided my art sales will go toward getting to denver since that is my actual work and how I continue to get work and anything extra from sales will go towards our bills.
