hallway table ~ 2015

domino joints for the table, routed dovetail joints for the drawers. made heaps of mistakes as it was my second piece ever, but still happy with how the tabletop turned out all these years later! #woodworking

(sorry about the mess underneath, i dont have any better pics 😭😅)

side table ~ 2014

first thing i made with wood, rosewood top and mortise and tenon joints for the legs. clearly did not measure or cut properly bc it still wobbles to this day 😂 and, took me 11 years to realise this but i also forgot to oil the underside lmao #woodworking

You gotta make art that sucks in order to make art that fucks

Every now and then I think about how easier it is to create stuff nowadays. Like, I’m thinking back to making YouTube videos in 2008, how much harder it was to get good software for video editing, for art, for screen capturing and YT downloading and streaming. It wasn’t impossible but it was tricky

In Arcane, a character gives another character a blanket and that's what that character wears for the rest of the season. I love my sad adult cartoon

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
