Color of the moment: Greens

What you do for fun: Lately its been a lot of TikTok (Editor’s note: follow Jasmine on TikTok @JasmineBestArt) (3).

What you collect: As someone who works a lot in textiles I feel like I collect a lot of fabric, but aside from that I’m not big on collecting things. I like to keep my belongings as minimal as I can.(6).

Reading: I just finished this book, “Family.” I don’t remember the author. And, I think I’ve been reading, what is it, I think, “Sweet, Low, Rhythm.” I think that’s what it was called, don’t remember the author. (1).

Watching: I mostly just watch stuff on YouTube. As far as shows go, I think I started watching a period piece from PBS that existed years ago called “Poldark” or something like that. I watch a lot of weird, random stuff on YouTube. During the pandemic, I got into a lot of animatronic and theme park history. Like historian videos and a lot of Broadway history videos. I also watch a lot of video game let’s plays because I don’t have time to play a lot of video games (4).

Listening: Okay, so I listen to a lot of really, really niche music genres. I listen to a lot of folk-punk and murder-punk and death grass (5).

Apps: I was one of the early adopters to Procreate, but it is still a really great drawing tool (2).

Website: I feel like we don’t have favorite websites anymore […] I don’t know if I have a favorite website aside from like, YouTube.
