qtbeans art & more

Hello, my name is Nikki!

This is my personal site to share my artwork, blog sporadically, and show my love for other things I find interesting. It's essentially a scrapbook of my life being built and added to over time, with plenty of growth as well as regression. I might never get used to the up and down flow of life, but having a space like this to come back to over time has been inspiring to keep going, try new things, all that jazz.

Faba! Is it latin for bean? Maybe. I sense a theme happening here. She's my self-insert but of course with some tweaks here and there. She's healtheir than me, so that she can do all, or most, of the things I can't. I like to think she's less passionate about art, yet has more drive to make a career out of it. Her love for cats borderlines obssession, whereas I just really love them. Her negative traits are exagerrated, but that's okay; she's a work in progress!

I've been finding joy in the little things, because we just have to right now. It makes me feel old, but I find myself eagerly awaiting tomorrow's pot of tea. It's not much, and it doesn't last all day, but it's lovely.

My Friday the 13th wasn't unlucky or scary, I just coded until my body felt like a rock. Now I am honestly so happy with my current layout!!

Wondering how to adjust my tablet to avoid as much neck strain as possible... and I'm shocked I haven't needed a wrist brace yet!
2.26.26.
Threw my neck out trying to figure out object, embed, and iframe tags. Until I pay for this site, iframes it is. Hmph.

Was on an art roll all day yesterday. Woke up today to one thing gone wrong and completely fell apart. Cool trade off, man!
2.19.26.
Been in an art rut since the last update. I'm reliant on bursts of motivation or determination. Don't like that!
2.1.26.
Despite everything, working on art more often. Feels good to accomplish something.

Trying to channel radical acceptance as much as I can right now... letting stress eat me away can't be an option anymore.

What's up with Carols and the apocalypse? The Last Man On Earth, Pluribus, Carol & the End of the World... and technically The Walking Dead!

Made the fudge! Got the sheets!! Feelin' thankful ♥︎
12.7.25.
Willingly smothering myself in Christmas music. Dreaming of nut fudge. Hoping for new sheets. Adult things.

I just got an email for a local Say Anything concert. They're still touring 20 years later!! With new music??
11.19.25.
I need a week off from my brain. Just let it chill in a jar while I do life. See if that helps cause I am so tired.
11.17.25.
Happy birthday to my best fwend ♥︎ ♥︎ ♥︎

A little bit crabby but that's probably ye olde PMDD chewing on me. Chomp chomp.
11.8.25.
Feeling grateful and hopeful for the future! This art rut is going on a whole week now, though...
11.5.25.
Not exactly what I was hoping to be motivated to do, but I've been coding a lot more lately.
11.2.25.
Maybe I'll get a breakthrough today. In a few hours, if I'm lucky. PLEASE! I just wanna draw.
11.1.25.
Can't seem to break this 2-day migraine. I get loopy and angry by the 72 hour mark. Yaaay can't wait :')
