My new Substack is based on things I’ve been thinking at my activist meetings about artists and politics

I agreed with the fact that there are too many people faking disabilities or exaggerating them now online. I just don’t think that there are a lot of services or communities for them to then latch onto.

I ate my first big, red tomato of the season today from the garden. I’ve been getting up early to water my plants and it’s changed my life.

I finished another painting today. Now I’m just waiting for it to dry so that I can photograph it.

I have added a store to my website. I am so far selling a CD and a wall hanging at the store: www.nineofswords.design/store/

almost ready!

Trans youth must have the freedom to talk about their own experiences and to be their authentic selves, without political interference.

I love painting. Here’s an unfinished painting in my studio. I love the unfinished states of the paintings.

My new Substack is my interview with Jasper Lee on my work and new approach.

My album got a good review on this new blog by Marc Masters. I love this blog and you should sign up for it!

TC's one of the best guitarists of the 20th/ 21st Cs. He's a beautiful person. I'm fortunate to make music w him. It was his openness to unconventional collaboration that allowed me to make public music & I'm in awe of his easygoing, egoless greatness: tomcarterguitar.bandcamp.com/album/a-bigg...

I added a writing section to my website. Link in bio.

I updated my website. Link in bio.

The giant leaves in the first picture are squash and cucumber. I didn’t know that the leaves would get so big that they would take over.

Here are 70 new written performance scores by me with an introduction to the scores.

“All Night Dance Party” 2026. 54”x48”. Today is my birthday. Have a dance party wherever you are. I won’t go, but it will make me happy.

Happy Sun Ra birthday! I sometimes miss some of the Sun Ra birthday events because my birthday is tomorrow, but the Sun Ra celebrations never end in our local arts scene now!

In celebration of Sun Ra Arrival Day, Excepter has recorded his "Somebody Else's Idea" with Jon Nicholson on lead vocals and guitar. Bandcamp link in comments.

“Poupou rabou” by Antonin Artaud, 1945

My new Substack is here. It’s on outsider art and how art world gatekeepers decide what is outsider art and what outsider art is “good.”

I just made my Instagram a public art site. Add me at www.instagram.com/kyleclydstudio

new growth and a second raised bed

My first red tomatoes came out today. Sometimes if I pay close attention I can notice growth in a single day.

I’ve been reading money magazines and now I’ve reached my savings goal and credit score goal as outlined by the articles.

A few of the pieces I made for the booklet included in Razen's "Stained Glass Starling" album.

It has some typos but it’s a well researched essay that is easy to read. This one is about madness and the work of John Cage and also his relationship to painting.

I got a lot of hits on my site from Germany. It’s too bad I don’t live in Germany.

Has anyone here ever tried lead-free solder? Is it good enough for circuit bending or simple mixers as opposed to full synths?

Here’s a photo of John Cage painting with a giant brush which kind of reminds me of the method Jack Whitten used with his squeegee.

I just bought some non-toxic eco pigment to make non-toxic and green oil and acrylic paintings. This website has recipes for it: naturalearthpaint.com?srsltid=AfmB...
