A foggy #evening in Portland, OR - for the #blueskyartshow - I used to be a regular at this place when I worked around the corner. That was 2016-2020. I was in the neighborhood again a few months ago to see a concert and took this pic.

I’ve been spending the majority of my art time cleaning up scans of my “Year Zero” series (2022-24) for an upcoming artists’ book. Not fun, but necessary. #art

My friend and collaborator @marc-fischer.bsky.social and I did the most important thing you can do at the Chicago Art Institute yesterday. I guess they have art too? Thank you Marc for being our tour guide. Photo by @catsofpdxor.bsky.social

If you have Criterion Channel check out “Beyond The Visible - Hilma af Klint”. I have been aware of her art for years but it’s nice to get a more complete picture. #art

Untitled Sketch - 5.27.24 - I keep this little sketchbook on my at all times just in case. This is probably the best drawing in there at the moment. I’ll probably make a tiny little book out of them down the road. #art #drawing #contemporaryart

I just finished this book last night and recommend it to anyone who makes art or is interested in the struggle artists face. “Poor Artists: A Quest Into the Art World” by Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad (aka The White Pube) was an excellent read. #art
