This sort of thing drives me nuts. I’ve spent years struggling to take pictures of my work and ware for Etsy. I’ve invested in equipment, spend time cleaning up and color correcting images to give people an accurate image of items. Now people just type prompts into an AI image generator.

What the heck is this? I went to go pick up a discarded chip bag in my front yard and I discovered something was hiding in it. I tried to snap a picture before it scurried away, but this is the best I got.

It’s a little sad that they didn’t include a figure of one of my favorite characters from the first season of The Next Generation. Such an attention to detail, but that missing figure is troubling.

I just realized that I could write off some fries from Portillo’s if I incorporated the paper sleeve in my piece for the upcoming Seventh Corner Gallery show “Chicago Cryptids” at @howlingpages.bsky.social

I’m always on the lookout for cheap odds and ends for my character sculptures. I love to find them in the wild in thrift shops or flea markets, and especially in bulk.
Routinely I check websites if I’m looking for something in particular. Please enjoy these sample images from today’s dig.

Hold on, “dries” and “drys” are both spelled correctly? I had to look it up after this morning’s Knotwords puzzle and I’m still a bit befuddled. English is such a mess.

People often ask me what my favorite pug that I designed is, and frankly, I put a lot of love and research into each year’s series, as I want every design found inside my Pug Surprise blind-bag to be a winner. That said, someone just ordered a particular favorite from series 12, the one-pug-band.

Here are some of my mixed-media robots right off the assembly line. They feature posable arms, rotating heads, and noses. These robots along with other recent sculptures will be available at a show in Chicago I have opening in Pilsen’s own Mestiza on October 17. More details to come!
