  • one time, when I was an age younger than 10, we were leaving my dads house and when he hugged my grandma, he decided to lick the inside of her ear. none of us really talked about it, and I still don’t know why he did it, or if there was even a reason. so…

  • this painting went through a lot of phases, and 3 full renderings before I got it to a place I loved. there’s 2 layers of acrylic paint under the final painting, because I was trying to convince myself that I liked acrylic as much as oil ( spoiler, I don’t. not even close). once I…

  • yesterday was day 2 at the studio. after finishing the body’s skeleton yesterday, i wrapped one leg with cheesecloth-mache (cheesecloth + watered down wood glue), which i anticipated covering the entire body with today, but when i gt to the studio and saw it dried, it just didnt feel like what i was looking for.…

  • i like the back half of the year a lot. specifically the last quarter, after the august heat has subsided a bit, soup is back on the menu and my knit socks are a treat, instead of the last pairs left before laundry. the underpainting of my life is a bit cold and grey, so…

  • i busted my wallet 3 weeks ago, and since then ive just been carrying around a handful of cards and cash. very inconvenient, very slow at checkout. i started this project hoping to create something that looked more like a dried starfish with 4 points (fully unrelated to my wallet), but felting never goes as…

  • i went to the beach last monday and found a beautiful collection of shell, and some gross isopodthing shells that i though i had the guts to take home and work with. eventually, (hours later) i threw them very far (and screamed a little), but my shells were worth it. ive been trying to figure…

  • i came up with the idea for a rounder, ball shaped bag on a drive to ****** *******. then i got home and said ‘holy fuck, teeth’. i’ve been in a sci-fi mood lately. the proceeding bag, ‘chomp’ was made in about 8 hours total, with a brief 7 hour nap between 2 sessions to…
