I got some studio time in this morning AND cleaned up the house a little bit. All before 10 am. I don’t fire on all cylinders a lot right now but I’ll take it when I do

I have been regretting my decision to delete my content from IG lately because I miss having that record of the past decade of work somewhere for people to see

I haven’t felt like sharing lately, I’m just angry or numb all the time. I feel like I am surrounded by idiots who all just live in their own bubble while the country falls.

I want to make more work about the time we’re in, or protest posters for my friends. But when I get to my studio all I can bring myself to make is more landscapes. It’s hard to process the time we’re in and figure out how to speak to it.

I’ll never not be impressed by my ability to sleep for 14+ hours after a migraine 😣 who else gets the auras with yours? What even helps?

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.
Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

I think I found a bunch of scraps of solid walnut planks. I wasn’t sure about how it would carve at first but if I watch the grain I can get some great marks #printmaking #woodblock #woodcut #clouds

Do any #mural artists know anything about using acid to etch a sidewalk to prep it for paint?

Process pics of my most recent block. I don’t usually do it this way, but I wanted to get a better idea of what color blocks I would use so I painted the entire image with watercolors before carving. #woodblock #woodcut #printmaking #art #artprocess
