Hello Bluesky! Let’s give this a go. I make sculptures. Mostly ceramic monsters with worrying teeth.
Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

I did finish up my first sculpture of 2026. Some times I can only help things by bringing joy to folks.
So have a squish of beasts!

I’ve spent most of the day avoiding brainstorming what to sculpt next. Bellyaching, running errands, actually filing my nails.
I finally put pencil to paper, and immediately came up with a banger of an idea that’s going to be a HUGE pain in the butt to sculpt. Great. Thanks, brain?

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

Last repost: I remember the first time we stumbled on this combo air museum/ water park (!?) in rural Oregon. It’s in the middle of a bunch of agricultural fields and vineyards. A giant building, with a 747 on top, with a waterside coming out of the 747.
It’s even got the Spruce Goose!

i was just reading a thread about local museums, someone was wondering why the evergreen aviation museum in middle-of-nowhere oregon is so good? and that's how i'm just now learning that evergreen airlines 1975-2013 out of mcminville was essentially a CIA front

I went bog swimming in Estonia in 2024, and haven’t shut up about it since. They’re just so magical.

This 20 years ago:
My then (and now) producer Mike Danforth and I were talking about “The Golden Compass,” and I wondered what my daemon would be. He said, “A small hairless dog that wishes it was Ira Glass’ daemon.”

I’ve been learning stick shift. I’ve started getting a pretty nice handle on it, but I’m always vibrating from adrenaline by the time I exit the car. Like, legit shaky from a 5 min drive back from the coffee shop.

When I moved back to the PNW 20 years ago, my mom sent me with all of her old hiking books. She figured they’d still be useful.
Not so much.

I rinsed the honey bottle with hot water this morning to pour the last drops into my morning tea. I then spent a few sleepy moments worrying that our fridge compressor was dying before realizing the sound was coming from the bottle.

I finally had enough down time to photograph “ghost forest”, my big sculpture from my October firing. The results were just spectacular!

This little baby, Mint Chip, is the last of our foster kittens to be adopted. If you know anyone in the LA who needs an absolute sweetie who adores laps, blankets, and other cats, they should get in touch with www.santedor.org

I cleaned up my studio, since I’m done with dark clay for a second. Thought it might be fun to share my tools.
The first photo is 20 years of goodies. The second photo are the ones I actually use.
