Judgement, or the River of Tuonela.

Happy Day of Kalevala with this queer take of mine on the (while fascinating also in many ways questionable) Finnish national epic. (Ink and gouache on paper, 2021)

Some rearranging around the 1800s desk/drawer I just grabbed from an online auction. I love how it pairs with a recent flea market find, Kyoji Tanaka's postmodern 80s/90s lantern lamp.

A new period began at work, two new groups of seventh graders started. That means diving into contents of mimetic conception of art on repeat and building towards their first graded project, a small ceramic bust.

Our amaryllis bought for Christmas withered it's first bud, never opening it but grew another that has finally started to open. Just look at it now! 😍

I did this ink piece in late 2019. In hindsight it seems a bit ominous - we've had the apocalyptic riders roaming the Earth in full force since then. Thank you for all the unicorns still standing against them!
