Hi folks! There’s a bunch of new people on here so I figured I’d introduce myself again! I’m an artist (primarily printmaking), art educator, and all around fan of nature and animals. I mostly post art, cool bugs, and pictures of my cats. Just an overall silly goose ✌🏼 #hello
Pumpkin prints! I finally tried my hand at carving a relief print on a pumpkin this year and it’s. SO. MUCH. FUN. Wish I got a bigger pumpkin! 🎃👻 #printmaking #halloween

I’ll never forgive them for the film adaptation of the musical Hair. If any a play-turned-movie needed a remake, this would be my choice.

I don’t hate going to the dentist. It’s a perfectly ok experience. But the music… the music! It’s what I imagine they’d play in the fake good place that’s actually the bad place.

The semester is well underway so I haven’t really been making my own art lately. But here are some hasty monotype demos I did for my intro to print students ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #printmaking

Apologies to all my inner arm tattoo girlies. I was not aware of your game. This was by far the most unpleasant tattoo I've ever gotten.

Yesterday I attended a mono silk screen workshop! I’ve been doing so many meticulous linocuts that it was so fun to learn a #printmaking technique that requires you to let go of control. #birds

Me: “Christ Airs are real. Christian Hosoi invented it.”
Marco: “No way.”
Me: “Skateboarding was my special interest for 2-3 years. Don’t question me on this.”

We got a walking pad specifically for this time of year when it’s far too hot to be outside. I’m like a little hamster that needs to run on a wheel for enrichment or something. So I do my little walks throughout the day. (Don’t worry. The cats are never on or around it when it’s in motion.)
