Bike frame busted over a month ago. After a long journey, here is El Bikamino IV.

I love bicycles, HATE installing the cables and chain. Just fuck my hands and wrists right up; not like I need them for EVERYTHING I do…

There’s “oh, a werewolf”…
—and then there’s, “what the hell is that?”

Make them like this in the movies, please.
Dust n' Dread update! We finally get to see The Creature :)

Do we start off the same way as last time? When I say, “I know this looks odd — but trust me, I know what I’m doing with this”?

…because I don’t know what I’m doing. All I know is, everyone told me to do this for the upcoming SafeWord event…

Ode to Black Mirror.

One of the few shows that is too intense for me to binge.

(18x24-inch, 3-color screen print - one color is a metallic silver online images can’t do justice.)

Busy at the studio this weekend. This includes the show hanging at Wabasha Brewing, and the show hanging at Norseman Distillery. (And admin work to be done at ALTR Gallery.)

From the cellular level up to skill sharing/training — COOPERATION has been the basis of most higher evolutions.

Now we must explain why CHILD RAPE is wrong to the metaphorical single-cell political trolls — in record reaction time to the evidence that their hero is (ALSO) a child rapist.

Werewolf Wednesday; there’s something just perfect in the figure’s hair that I haven’t been able to duplicate since… I should draw a werewolf roller-derby girl.

(…the futile feeling of gathering drawing ideas/references in a world ready to collapse…)

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

Reposting this art for two reasons: 1. I had to rebuild the digital file from past films due to losing the original. 2. I plan to change the colors to make a trans rights sticker (living fossil = “always existed; always will”)

...website ownership doubled in price over the last six months; updated the shop to reflect the most recent year's prints to make this worth it.

The sales table merch is equally as incredible as everything on the walls. So much of this art is small, so prices are affordable to most attendees. And Norseman Distillery has been doing wonderful things along with us - including giving the artists in the show a drink discount.
miniARTure kicked off last night with a big crowd! These mighty minis had people snapping up art all night long!

Join us again TONIGHT 6-10pm at ALTR Gallery! @clevergirl-jp.bsky.social

One time I got really high and thought this was the best idea I ever had

Tarot card: The Star.

OAC will probably make the Tarot Art Show an annual event, and so I need another idea to illustrate…

(BlueSky will no doubt hide this behind an adult content tag, yet: 1. I consider this functional nudity, not sexual, 2. Star is immortal - this isn’t su!c!de, its renewal.)

Next thing the OAC owned ALTR Gallery has going on: miniARTure show. Here’s some previews of what artists turned in:

My partner and I volunteered for costumed figure sketch sessions offered at ALTR Gallery through artist Christine Mitzuk (christinemitzuk.com).

Not used to being on the opposite side of the drawing table, hence the mask.

Posing is like yoga extreme. I have increased my respect for models. Yikes.

If you are local to Twin Cities, or close by and willing to pay art shipping costs, throw your erotic art into our event. It costs nothing to apply; entries are juried by outside artists; if accepted, there’s a $25 fee. OAC takes 35% of any sales (up-price accordingly).

Happy Friday. I’m back on this bullshit. Redrawn the hands and flames so much the paper might disintegrate if touched by ink. But I got a massive hand-built light-table, so …
