Things are scary and I've been making art about it. This piece is just one out of an expanding collection that's all made from trash/salvaged materials. It's going to be a show at some point. I can't wait to share it with you. 🏳️⚧️🧿🌷

It's Trans Day of Remembrance.
They won't ever be able to get rid of us, no matter what. No amount of hateful legislation can change the fact of our existence.

Hey, remember me? I got very sick recently and getting better is going slowly, during my busiest season.

If we learned something from Ozzy and his getting his one big farewell show, is that we need to give people their flowers while they are still with us. Celebrate your beloveds and tell them every day. This floating rock lost a titan today.

You can tell I was raised by a bunch of nerds, because having my art at the library cafe is just as exciting as having it in a fancy gallery. You can get a latte, a painting, and check out books ALL AT ONCE. Downtown Central Library, Austin.

Once again reminding you that Texas had more Harris voters than every state besides California. Your bullshit “lol Texans are dying lmao” posts ain’t fucking it and you can unkindly go fuck yourself if that’s your reaction to children dying.

My gay art made of trash is in a show that opens Friday. I made 13 pieces of work about Pride and queer joy and I made it all from upcycled/salvaged wood.

Artist will spend untold hours on a thing expressing themselves and it’s just a bunch of people being like “tell me what you mean by this.”
Look at it, that’s what I mean.

So there is a profile of me in the New Yorker: www.newyorker.com/culture/pers...
Do Androids Dream of Anything at All?
We have tended to imagine machines as either being our slaves or enslaving us. Martha Wells, the writer of the “Murderbot” series, tries to conjure a truly alien consciousness.

I hope everyone has a Pride tied to the original meaning:
- ACAB
- Bodily autonomy now and forever
- Fuck love, this is about freedom
- Queers bash back
- You can't kill us all
Black and brown trans folks, particularly trans women, got us here. Pay some respect. Don't fall for the scams.

I started painting this XXL Death card in 2020, abandoned it, got it out last night to show a friend, and now my tiny pink dog thinks she is invisible behind it as I have my morning banana that she really really wants.

Murderbot earrings for @MarthaWells.com! I got to go to the watch party last night & celebrate with the found family group, & of course I had to make Martha a pair of earrings. I also made a book shaped gift box with a living hinge because I am nothing if not extra.

I've been lasercutting professionally almost 12 years now and most markets I do a straight man will try to catch me out or something with a technical question. I can see it in their face. They usually have no idea what they are talking about.

I'm warming up every day by painting a 1.5 inch tall boot I laser cut from scrap wood. I've done 22 days in a row, goal is 100!
