This is "Darkness Behind Me". Ink, tea, and alcohol on paper. And a picture of Nancy. And gold leaf.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I'm happy that this guy has found a new home! I love blackbirds of all kinds because they're smart and they hold a grudge but they can also be extremely kind and they form strong (almost cultural) groups.

I hope Halloween was cool and spooky and fun!

A stylized painting of a raven. The colors are applied thickly and the highlights are really vibrant. There's a red background with a purple frame. The raven is walking outside the frame.

Someone bought some postcards from me and wanted me to write a poem on one. Since I am the vice-poet laureate of the west (self proclaimed), I of course obliged.

I just finished listening to "The Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by Stephen Graham Jones. It's about a Native American vampire. It's a great story and the audiobook rules.

This is based on a photo of my friend Kat that I did improv forever ago with. I loved the image (and I also love the birds I added). This one was really fun! You should come see it (and me) at Artsgoggle this October 11 in Fort Worth!
An acrylic painting of a dark haired woman in a feather boa. She's looking directly at the camera and there's three different corvids flying around.

I hate that the worst people got a win here, but the old logo is so much better.

Cracker Barrel has cracked under pressure, and brought back the barrel. The new logo is dead and Uncle Hershal is here to stay, per the company’s social media.

This is my brother in law, the famous bag piper. I saw this picture of him in a floppy hat and had to draw him! It's super cool to see someone be able to make a life doing something they love so much!

Sometimes I get to a point in a piece where I know more needs to be done but I really love what's currently on the canvas. In case this one goes terribly wrong, I'll at least have a record of this one in this really raw, jagged state.

Hope your day is beautiful!

A canvas with a charcoal sketch of a woman with her hands lightly touching her face. A bird sketched in ink is coming out of her head. The ink has run down the canvas.

I did a sketch course this week that really helped me make some breakthroughs. I'm working hard to get a bunch of stuff done in time for a show in October, but this time really helped me see things in a new way.

Which one is your favorite? Hope your week is great!

My wife had an idea to carve Irish designs on these pavers and put them up as little standing stones in our gardens. I carved them and filled the carving with some diluted ink to make them stand out a little more.

I think they turned out pretty cool!

I painted this piece a while ago and I'm proud of it, but it also just isn't demonstrative of who I am anymore. I've learned a ton since this and I've got to make space. I felt good painting over it and now I feel a little weird. Oh well--it's just canvas.
