i never post anymore

its rough stuff out there these days. so i went to the shack today and it didn't suck. i finished this relic.


phone camera not so good but it was one of those days where things feel okay-ish. like there is a point afterall and it's not all horrible. it is important to hang onto the optimism/fleeting hopefulness, right? i dunno. my work has been traveling in outer space. the outer realms. I worry it is turning into awful work, but i am so confused by all manner of taste and quality at this point that I mostly don't care. do other people worry about this? that they are making awful work too? like work that is bad illustration art bordering on starbucks dancing figures on coffe cups or hatch-mark fake prints/stamps/pier 1 imports coasters? i am ok with psychedelic poster art though. hence, the problem.

i have a theory on a new black embroidery thing and i cut out the fabric to think about it real-size. I am super into how the new relic looks with the black fabric next door. the black on is going to have a lot of these diamonds. it will be altar-like. etc.

Gorgeosity, FB. I even like it with the black square next to it...call it "Morning and Night"
It is tough out there. The shack can be like a bomb shelter sometimes.

Yay FB! beauty and the sublime, together at last... like the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, yum.

only fb would think of an owl hair-do. i really love the black blob and rainbow arch together right smack in the middle. i wonder if you need the drips, though? i think you imply gravity in other, weirder ways.

Hi FB. Nice Giant flower with imbeded owl and cat and stuff. I like this painting, it's kind of romantic or something.
