I did like ten versions of my #homwork this week and I liked a lot of them. Here are two more opportunities to ignore everyone that say this to me like it means I shouldn’t do it anyway. • #lettering #illustration #wordart #entrepreneur #smallbusinesslife #keepitconsistent #digitalart #digitalartists #dcart #dcartists #acreativedc #202creates #goodtype #thedailytype #handlettering #artistsofinstagram #handmadefont #letteringdaily #bridgetmakesstuff #womenofillustration #queerswhomake
There are a bunch of new folks here, so here’s an #intro for my 201st post!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The arts are my first love, but I spent a lot of time in performing arts management before I came back to visual art. I love the normal stuff: #spotify, #podcasts, #football, #pizza, & #weed. I have #OCD, #GAD, #ADD, & chronic insomina. I'm an #aquarius, but being #bisexual cancelled out all the stuff where I don't expose my feelings.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I moved to #Baltimore a few weeks ago, after years in DC. I spent most of my adolescence dying to get into city limits & I feel weird about leaving. It‘s the fiscally responsible move (#thisis30) because I quit my fulltime job a few months ago. I was honest about some stuff that felt performative, sexist, & biased against junior staff, after which I did not feel welcome at work for one single day. Next up, my then-girlfriend left for vacation & never came back (she's not dead, just dead-to-me) and I realized that waiting for her had been keeping me from dreaming really big. So I did that, then I made a plan. I enrolled in @homsweethom’s #PassionToPaid course, made a list of project concepts, figured out how to get my hands on #photoshop and #procreate, and started applying to web design certificate programs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My life feels brand new. This seizmic shift changed some things about my life that I didn’t mind the way they were — but I sacrificed those things to free myself of everything sapping my time, money, & energy. So here we are! Right in the thick of all that! Maybe you’ve been with me since April when this was just a fun project; maybe you came in after I made my first #etsysale & started talking about this account to people I know; maybe you found me through a #challenge or #hashtag. However it happened, I want to thank you for helping me feel like my goals are achievable, just by being here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #illustrator #graphicdesigner #vsco #vscoselfie #meettheartist #artvsartist #meetthemaker #passiontopaid #fridayintroductions #selfiesunday #bridgetmakesstuff
Guys, this is my two hundredth post on this account since April — I posted 200 times in 234 days and I’m pretty proud of myself for staying so consistent. It’s the perfect response to my #homwork this week — it’s hard, but I got this because IT’S ALREADY HAPPENING!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • #lettering #illustration #wordart #entrepreneur #smallbusinesslife #keepitconsistent #digitalart #digitalartists #dcart #dcartists #acreativedc #202creates #goodtype #thedailytype #handlettering #artistsofinstagram #handmadefont #letteringdaily #womenofillustration #queerswhomake #handmadefont #strengthinletters #queerswhomake #adobedrawing_lettering #adobedraw #bridgetmakesstuff
I’ve been trying to go see the #dcalleymuseum for a long time and a couple week ago, I delivered some stuff to the folks at @realstreetsense. I was so stoked to learn that one of their offices is in this alley! If you live in DC, you’ve def seen this on somebody’s insta, but I’m posting it anyway because you can never show too much appreciation for @lisamariestudio, #queerlove, or the #streetartofdc. If you love this bad boy as much as I do, pop over to her insta to grab a print from the 2018 @washblade best artist! • #streetartofdc #dcart #dcartist #vsco #vscocam #202creates #acreativedc #igdc #bythings #mydccool #bridgetmakesstuff #dcphotography #dc #dcart #dcartist #queerswhomake #queer #gay #bi #pan #loveislove #queerlove #gayrights #biandboujee #wlw #dcqueers
There’s so. much. street. art. in. Baltimore. Circled the block to snap a pic of this gorgeous mural by @johngingrichart at @bmorelicks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #baltimorephotography #bmorephoto #mdphoto #mdart #mdartist #dcart #dcartist #vsco #vscocam #vscostreetart #dcartist #202creates #acreativedc #igdc #idmd #baltimore #bridgetmakesstuff
This week’s #homwork is about the outdated myths people tell about a career in the arts and I knocked it out real fucking fast, y’all. This phrase isn’t the EXACT right tense for a myth, but it is something I hear often, lately.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m working hard to build myself — a creative, freelance life that I like and nearly everyone I’ve spoken to about it responds with this sentiment. The tone is never “that sounds hard, but you GOT this!”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know that the people in my life just want me to be happy and secure and comfortable, but I’ve done plenty of hard shit before now! I’ve lived a freelance life, I’ve built my professional reputation up from the ground, I’ve relied on survival jobs, and I’ve always ultimately achieved what I set out to achieve.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, yeah, it DOES sound hard. But I got this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lettering #illustration #wordart #entrepreneur #smallbusinesslife #keepitconsistent #digitalart #digitalartists #dcart #dcartists #acreativedc #202creates #goodtype #thedailytype #handlettering #artistsofinstagram #handmadefont #letteringdaily #bridgetmakesstuff #womenofillustration #queerswhomake
This mural is actually in DC, not Baltimore, but camp is camp, ya know?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shaw #801restaurant #flamingowall #pinkflamingos #johnwaters #streetartofdc #dcart #dcartist #vsco #vscocam #202creates #acreativedc #igdc #bythings #mydccool #bridgetmakesstuff
Got a couple samples in with commission prints yesterday and contrary to the tone of the pieces, I’m p stoked about how they came out.

Pulled my car over on the way to meet my roommate about a shelf to take a pic of this dope train. Like ya do. • #baltimorephotography #bmorephoto #mdphoto #mdart #mdartist #dcart #dcartist #vsco #vscocam #vscotrain #vscotrolley #dcartist #202creates #acreativedc #igdc #idmd #baltimore #bridgetmakesstuff #queerlife #train #trolley #trolleymuseum
Guys! I finally got to see this ornament in person bc my gay friends bought it and the metal is super light and the color contrast is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 — so stoked with how these came out AND with the naturally gay backdrop Megan and Kax’s apartment offered me. Exhibit A: the cat wives playing football together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gaaaay #queerculture #girlfriends #illustration #doodles #dcart #dcartist #acreativedc #202creates #womenofillustration #queerswhomake #adobedrawing_lettering #adobedraw #adobecapture #bridgetmakesstuff #managedexpectationsetsy #etsysale #etsy #printful #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssaturday #smallbiz #entrepreneur #queer #gay #bi #pan #christmas #gaychristmas #newproductlaunch
