The key to understanding capitalism is that dog treats have shapes like "steak" even though that means nothing to the dog. The target audience isn't the dog, but the human, and the goal of the product is not to satisfy the dog, but to make the human feel like a good dog owner.

I took a break from making paintings… so I could paint this skeleton! I used a combination of Black 2.0 and Black 3.0 to upgrade a pair of plastic skeletons. Are you decorating for Halloween too?

If the Internet requires me to spin around my artwork like I’m a game show assistant, then I’m dressing up for the occasion! Bro Sketch with Gold Curtain is part of the 2025 Bemis Benefit Auction.

It was my pleasure to chat with Lori Walsh on In the Moment for South Dakota Public Broadcasting about my photography.

I’m tempted to state that we “dig” black and white photography at Fotolab No.7, but I’m afraid you won’t like my bonehead puns.

I was happy to teach an oil painting workshop to several brave students at the Arts Education Institute, and as a bonus I got to see the current Midwest Nice Art exhibition!

Psst! Do you need a disposable camera? Drop by the lab the next time you’re in Vermillion.

It looks like Aaron is making his own fun at the lab! What’s the best thing you’ve made with a roll of film?

If you’re feeling particularly artsy today, you might need some black and white film… (How sacrilegious is it that Aaron photographed this black and white film in color with a digital camera?)

Hey friends out there, my printer might be dead! 🤬
I will make the final verdict today…so, in that case, a new one will have to put on order today.
Might be putting out a big ask to buy some art to help out…

I bought Salsa Verde Doritos for this painting because I liked the color of the bag, but they disappeared from the store immediately afterward. What’s a snack you used to enjoy but can’t find again?
