I briefly worked at a department store make-up counter with Joan Rivers. We caused a scene and were immediately fired. Later, I borrowed roller skates from Gregory Hines.

all kestrels are goth

It’s difficult for me to form new male friendships because of instincts like greeting a stranger on the office elevator with, “Purple shoe twins.”

the first time gibbous heard a synthesizer

Grateful to @peoplesbooktakoma.com for keeping this in stock. I’ve sold almost 200 copies of this zine, total—between direct mail, People’s Book (Takoma Park, MD), Bluestockings (NYC), and Quimby’s (Chicago+NYC)—and PB has given me 80 of those sales, so far.

I think I want to see the reflection of someone observing the gorilla with the doll as the second image in the triptych?

I rewatched The Zone of Interest (2023). boxd.it/ccxLfd

Do you think piranhas are cute? I think piranhas are cute.

Currently reading Derek Jarman’s 1989-1990 diary Modern Nature and Mathieu Lihoreau’s study of bee cognition What Do Bees Think About? and the former’s focus on plants and gardening (and connection and mortality) really works with the latter.

The way I saw anger modeled in my family was always at a 10; it equalled violence and it made me afraid to even be angry at a 1. Turning all those feelings inward was super destructive. Finding a healthy relationship to anger is important work. It’s hard but you can do it.

See if you can pinpoint the exact moment I gave this coyote the peace sign and realized that I earnestly thought it would translate across species.

Making art and interacting with art have been the best tools I’ve found, in life, to feel less alone and the work of Laing, Hujar, Wojnarowicz, and Jarman have been good friends during difficult times. “Loneliness, longing, does not mean one has failed, but simply that one is alive.” A new favorite.

I have fifteen little outlines ready for the next One Warm Spark album. This time, they’re all starting as Nanoloop sketches on my phone. Next, I’ll export each layer and augment / replace / rearrange them at home, in the studio.

Using a time machine to (1) k*ll baby Hitler and (2) warn the person I helped with tech support that someone might eventually see her password “DaddysL1ttleSlu+”

I was bummed that Donut Run wasn’t gonna make blueberry glazed this month (my A+ #1 fav) but the gingerbread glazed is really really good.

I bet a lot of people have ruined their friendship with a Transformer by asking, way too soon, “Hey, can I drive you?”

every year i’m happy to remember that a bakery in vancouver makes gingerviduals terrabreads.com/pages/bakery...

very normal very casual

Finished the first two pieces of this triptych. Each is wax crayon on paper, 24” x 24”.

Working on new music for the One Warm Spark project and I keep coming back to Nanoloop as my favorite tool for percussion sounds and song structure.

Keeping up momentum. Gessoing boards so I can do some acrylic painting when the crayon triptych is done.

My partner Ellie Benedict has some of her really amazing ceramic and fiber art work for sale at a craft market in Takoma Park today and tomorrow. Check it out 12-8 at Seekers Church on Carroll Street, by the Metro.

Artists sharing money info with one another is an important way we can look out for each other. Huge respect to Los Campesinos! for being transparent about how little money they made from streaming their most recent album.

gibbous always looks *concerned*

Would everyone at Thanksgiving be mad at me if I celebrated food and friendship by putting on The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover?

“nah, i’m fine.”
