Hello Bluesky! Let’s give this a go. I make sculptures. Mostly ceramic monsters with worrying teeth.
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.

I made a new big buddie with an egg. Hopefully *this one* makes it through the bisque!

These are both absolutely gorgeous sculptures.
Looks like two pieces remain from the show: "Afraid Not" and "Coincident."

I’ve been able to accomplish so much of what I’ve done as an artist thanks to having a supportive partner with a well paying job.
We had absurd luck after college, finding careers we both loved. His paid enough to support mine, which took years before it was even making a profit.

There is no shame having a safety net, that’s wonderful to have and I wish everyone had it but not everyone does. I have a bee in my bonnet with the race to the bottom this convo creates where it’s a who gets paid the least party when I need it to inspire demands for higher pay

If you’re a working artist talking to other creatives I’m begging you to not hide this. I have a parter who makes more and I don’t hide that and try to be as open as I can especially one on one. It’s cruel to not be honest with your fellow artist and give them any kind of false hope or fear
Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"
The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

In addition to prepping for a wood firing in two weeks, I did a bronze pour yesterday!
Dang. Things get real pretty when they’re hot.

Just worked up my courage to talk to the neighbor who snapped up the street tree logs I’d been promised.
It worked out fine! He’s promised me his madrona tree when he gets it taken down!

Sure. I’d guess a 5 in terms of intimidation?
I think I’m pretty chill, but have been told I’m intimidating. (I have spikey hair and an excess of “extreme” hobbies.)

It’s hard to see anyone enjoying AI made anything when the people I know and love are building house sized kilns to make their stuff. This is what doing art actually does to your brain.
We just finished up the 6th firing of my train kiln. It was a delight. It was also a lot. I knew that the one thing my 80yr old mother wanted for her birthday was to come help, so she did!

Presently in Portland to teach workshop with Morning Ceramics. It just feels so darn… wholesome? And restoring?
Good art, good people, good protests.

If I’m sculpting for bronze casting, I might cut a sculpture in half, to make mold making easier.
I’ve been too lazy to melt my most recent beast, since I’d have to pull out its tinfoil center before microwaving it. However, I think I’ve found a new home for my bisected beast!

My discovery feed is an interesting mix, especially given that it’s based on the fav’s of the people I follow. Mostly it’s bug and science art, but there’s clearly one of you out there who loves terrible AI art - and surprisingly boring porn.
