another update about my mental health. once again: i am posting this in the hopes that it de-stigmatizes MH and helps anyone out there who needs help but has been afraid or ashamed to get it. #mentalhealth

Coming from a theater background it’s been totally bizarre to me how many writers of books don’t understand it’s a social business

art is a community, and part of being an artist is being a part of that community: go to openings. see the work of your peers. talk with people about their work and your work. participate. you might create work alone, but you and your art does not exist in a bubble.

me contemplating my art at the memorial art gallery finger lakes exhibition preview. #art #sculpture #videoart

my wifi password is "gofastboatsmojito"

ok how about this instead: i'll keep my air conditioning on and you can turn off all the machines generating AI "art."

idea: "AI art offsets." every time you use AI you have to put a few dollars into an account that you will spend buying art from human artists.

#art and #design is my passion

the creative process isn't magic. it's work. #art #design

how to make: step 1: have an idea. step 2: worry you will never have another idea. step 3: have another idea. step 4: repeat. #art #design

my video installation piece "Artifact 8" (2024) installed at the @magrochester.bsky.social for the 69th Finger Lakes Exhibition - opening June 28! #art #sculpture

i have recently realized that the messier my studio is and dirtier i am at the end of my creative process, the more i enjoyed doing it. #art

toxic #design mythologies: when you love what you do it isn't work. eat, breathe, & sleep design 24 x 7 x 365. you can learn everything from youtube. critique should be brutal. hustle, hustle, hustle. you have to have side projects. you can sleep when you're dead. only big name studios matter. 1/2

i just want to reach out and thank adobe for making sure i don’t spend too much time at my desk working and staring at my computer — having their software crash my entire computer randomly forces me to get up and take a walk pretty often so I really super appreciate it. #art #design

holy crap i love organizing my studio so much. #art

summer is when i make most of my work, so this is a note to self: rule 1: real artists make art. rule 2: making makes ideas. rule 3: my job is to fuck around and find out.

student: i don't know what I'm supposed to do for this project. me: neither do i. student: ...? me: student: ...?? me: student: …??? me: student: but... but... but you’re the... me: welcome to art school. #art

once again, adobe cares about money, not you. (via @theverge.com www.theverge.com/news/670241/... ) #design #art

1. it elevated me far, far, far past where i could have gotten on my own or via free stuff online. it gave me a motivated community of like-minded people. it gave me creative, intellectual, and social stimulation. it gave me a career. 2. it was worth 100x what i paid. it changed my life entirely.

students: if you had a tough semester, failed a class, had to pause enrollment, or are feeling bad about your college experience, just a reminder: it took me 16 years to get my BFA. there is absolutely no “correct” way to do this, there is only your way. just keep being who you are. #art #design

hi everyone! we are looking for people to teach foundation classes at RIT in Rochester NY this fall! specifically: 2D Design 3D Design Drawing note that these are in-person only, part time, paid positions, no MFA needed. if you are interested please message me! thank you! #art #design

theory: you can replace the caption of any @newyorker.com cartoon with "what font is that?" #typography

"because I felt like it" and "because it looks cool" can be excellent reasons. #art

one of (many) reasons i don't like AI art is because the fun part of having a creative practice is making the art, rather than having finished making the art. why would i want to give the fun part away to a computer? #art

graduating students: congratulations! this is a big accomplishment! a reminder: graduation does not mean you stop being a student — good artists & designers are students forever. that is what makes this such a fun and interesting thing to do for the rest of your life! go forth and keep learning!

coming soon: The Original Beef of Vaticanland

just a quick update #mentalhealth

i want AI to do my taxes so i have more time to make art. i do not want AI to make art so i have more time to do my taxes.

graduating seniors: 1. DO NOT constantly compare yourself to your classmates & their accomplishments. 2. nobody “wins" art & design school. 3. the job your classmates want doesn't have to be the job that you want. 4. be interested in what you're interested in. 5. always be who you are.
