My wonderful neighbors hosted the 2nd annual screening of some Sundance films and my hands were doodly.
My hand is holding a notepad, upon which I’ve sketched my perspective of the room in pencil. There is a medium sized group of people; some are sitting on the floor and others are in chairs or on the couch.

ayo edebiri wearing The Row, a stunning greenish ochre, standing in front of an oil (?) painting which echoes the colors of her clothing. Basically, I am in love with her stylist.

Sloooooowly getting a real studio setup :)

Hey how does this place work? Are there #artist hashtags?
A large tripod with a horizontal arm extending over a desk. There’s a task light arched over the desk as well. A closeup of my camera setup on the horizontal arm of the tripod. The lens is positioned over a ring light and facing downward onto the desk where I work in my sketchbook. The camera’s preview screen shows my sketchbook open on the desk.

Baby blue oil paint has been scribbled onto a painting The picture frame has been taped to protect it from green and blue vertical smears. There are black scribbles of frustration and blue spots of hope In the second half of the diptych, we are nervous to enter a dark crevice

This is a cat who is done being combed for fleas.
A small gray medium-haired cat is curled around my hand. He has one arm and one leg pinning my hand down. My hand is holding a blue flea comb that the cat is DONE with.

As long as we’re in the club house, I have all kinds of apocalypse skills and I also make art.
