Hi! Nice to meet you. I like to make stuff.

I made a library of zines, and also, some zines!

jkzinelibrary.carrd.co

I "sell" some of my art in exchange for donations to Project HOPE:

offeringstable.carrd.co

I like reading books with people about important things:

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

If you ever hear about me caught up in some messy intrigue know it is a lie.

I do not have that kind of energy.

It's so fucking infuriating to see the effect that AI is having on artists' ability to make a living.

It doesn't have to be this way.
I'm really gutted about this. I spent over ten years building my website, it's what launched my writing career. But between AI hijacking all my traffic, literally, traffic from searches is almost 0 now, and my host raising fees to be hundreds of dollars for the year, I just can't anymore.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

And the lie that you can leave the system of hatred in place & it will be magically resolved by the already-rich/powerful is not only dangerous, but a huge part of how we got here.
My biggest issue with WICKED: FOR GOOD is the notion that fascism magically ends once you remove the fascist leader. The reality is that the fascist leader (the Wizard in this case) exploited an existing bigotry, stoking the flames into a blazing fire that no one simply or quickly put out.

I finally got a digital drawing tablet this year. Here's me tooling around on it early this summer, figuring out how it works.

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

Kids aren't, you know, any different than they ever have been. We're still the same species. Any behaviors manifested by children are a reaction to facts on the ground, to reality. Because they see it for what it is, not what it used to be, not what we pretend it still is.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Happy first day of #ArtAdventCalendar, folks.

I’m sharing this excellent Wyandotte rooster I digitally painted for #birdtober. I work in #Procreate using natural media brushes.

To celebrate the start of #ArtAdventCalendar here's my watercolour of the pesky Wood Pigeon who keeps eating all the bird food! That guilty expression and full cheeks says it all! 🪶☺️

Happy December everyone 🕊️👋

I enjoyed Art Advent last year and plan to participate again this year.

It's nice to remind myself I HAVE been making things, despite all the sad and trouble and tired.

Even if it's much less than I'd like to be making, I'm still here, I'm still trying, and it's not nothing.
