Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

King Jitters, who is Lady Jitter's father. In the Jitters universe, everyone is considered to be beautiful, everyone is encouraged to be who they are and to dress and act in whatever way makes them feel fabulous. #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #sculpture #assemblage

The Copper Queen and Lady Jitters. The Copper Queen is an alien drag queen, Lady Jitters is her nervous robot assistant. #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #sculpture #assemblage

"The Creatures", colorful figures I made from bits of plastic that would otherwise be thrown away, superglue/baking soda accelerant, and paint. They are joyful, silly, proudly weird, curious and observant. #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #sculpture #scratchbuilding #assemblage

do the work not because you have to but because that's a life well-lived. live the fuck outta your life. the people we buried would be fucking pissed off if you don't. make art. kill nazis. don't get discouraged. enjoy the sunrise. work hard on this and rest. enjoy being alive. go down swinging.

Many of the perilous forces ascendant today—authoritarianism, AI, profit motive at all costs—are inimical to the arts with their devotion to imagination & creativity. Which is why if you follow any artistic pursuit whatsoever, amateur or professional, we need you practicing it now more than ever

Anthem was accepted into the January show at the Art League. Thanks @theartleague.bsky.social !

I finished a new #sculpture, finally, of polished steatite with copper leafing on the interior and a copper roofing nail running through it. It's called Anthem, after the Leonard Cohen song. "There is a crack in everything, it's how the light gets in". #art (repost with fixed images)
