recent events

just an update! for early summer


I’ve been helping with a zine lately, and this last issue, they had two mini zines inside it like a nesting doll.

I feel like the internet in general is degrading; LLMs (they’re not “AI”, they’re predictive models) are prevalent and becoming indistinguishable from people. Of course my work and my posts have been used without consent to teach them to do what they do. it’s put me off from posting art, garden videos, from writing online.

but here I am anyway. I have been out protesting- I’ve been volunteering. I’ve been doing what I can. I burned out for a while, though and had to cut back a little both on work and on mutual aid work. I’m still balancing everything.

at work:

at home, the garden is going. I had my free plant table out and I’ve had people sending me pictures of things growing. it’s a slow year, the weather has been strange but it’s now into the hot dry time, so things should begin pumping up into a jungle soon.

 

i became discouraged about video content, but have been trying to archive it all to a youtube channel. it’s taking some time.

I don’t have ads or monetized pages anywhere so, it’s a labor of love to do everything online for me. I’m still slowly picking away at old debt and have a running gofundme for help with that- I don’t have originals organized to sell right now, I’m still unpacking into my studio room so those are stacked and not inventoried. prints and all are still on that page here though.

I’m eating pretty well,

harvesting food:

 

these are my usual items to post. I’m watching the world crumble around us in so many ways but I have hope we can stop it. I have hope we can fix it.

our systems were like a building that didn’t have a wheelchair ramp, a building with broken windows, no heat and a shitty parking lot. these right wing accelerationists and their groups have sown chaos and torn the building down.

 

the question is whether we take the opportunity to use that vacant lot to put up something better than that crappy old building, or whether we try to put up that shit pile the way it used to be.

I hope we plant a garden and put in a nice accessible building with a mural on the front, instead of the cinderblock mess that was there before. my optimism is boundless but my anger and grief is the same.

 

please mask up (n95 or better), be as safe as you can be out there, and do your best. it’s all we can do.

 

current portfolio gallery update! 2022-2024

gallery of a variety of promotional images from over the years!

I’ll be organizing and working up my portfolio into sections this week: this gallery of various promotional images from over the years seemed like a good post to make.

November 2024; the light to see

It snowed just a tiny bit tonight.

My camera has been on the fritz so I’m using all my spare cash to replace my phone after about 5 years; refurbished stuff is all I ever buy so that gives you an idea how old the thing is.

Got to do a few fun tattoos today-

the owl is very small. the lighthouse was very fun (and is on a friend who farms!)

Will be working tomorrow too.

I’m going to likely be spending Monday trying to figure out how to revive the local Food Not Bombs, which seems like it’s currently defunct (I haven’t been able to do anything with them in over a year and lost track) so that should be an interesting day!

bummer of a season huh

check the resources post if you need to get involved; there’s a whole list there.

light hearted:

it’s been up into the 70s F the past week and today it froze and snowed.

Halloween flash time coming up!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN as you all know. So I drew some things and set aside a day to do them, October 28th-

use this link to book time that day directly,

no need to email or call. just click through and scroll down to pick a time.

smog monster!

Thing Dog!

IT IS BATS

let me know which design number you want; each has an orange number next to it. if you’re not sure, add a lil description.
come in costume if you want, but you don’t have to- I just love halloween.

if you are far away and want to take these to a local artist to be done, please just drop me a few bucks via cashapp, paypal or venmo. 

(these flash designs are mine, but you can get another tattooer to tattoo them if you pay for the reproduction right)
