Riot (my 1.5 year-old grandson) and I finished filling up our recycled cardboard, paper, and packing tape bound collage book today. Overall, I'm pleased with the chaos!

We are the NOW, but the now doesn't stick around very long... Or, it sticks around forever,... One of those... While you're contemplating that conundrum, here's some ART and PHOTOS and STOLEN MEMES!!!

For anyone wondering about my mysterious collaborator, Riot, here he is IN ACTION, from this A.M.

Only finished one piece today (FINISHED), but I'm happy with the feel! (Riot and I worked on dozens of other pieces, as well, but those are still 'in process...' He's very particular!) Also, any DEVO fans out there?

Remember how I said I was going to share more art?? (I vaguely recall...) I'm gonna try!

Here's a mixed media piece my grandson and I did as part of a mini-zine!
November 4, 2025 at 2:18 PM
Remember when I used to just share art with no links or price tags or any of that junk? Let's get back to that...

Making stuff is awesome! Taking photos of the stuff you made is a pain, but unless EVERYONE comes to my room, it's the only way to see some of these creations... (If I share...)
