Listening to the news while I work in the studio animating my little sculptures made from old computer parts & figurines. Tonight I share scenes from “A Boot Stamping” and “Rear Window”

A new sculpture I made in the studio that I then animated with AI. It’s all about the anxiety rn 🖤 #art #sculpture #assemblage #AI #anxiety

Boschie the Brooklyn Cat is a true work of art 🐈‍⬛ 🖼️ …and a good studio assistant when he’s not posing as a sculpture

Happy Sunday!

As a kid I remember the phrase "when pigs fly" as an expression of disbelief. This weekend as I've been making little sculptures I've been thinking about when robot whales fly and angry trad, trophy wives.

A Halloween costume, “alien clown” that I wore at 10 years old. Still says a lot about me today 🤡👽

Today’s highlight, smiling at a person walking past me on the street with a Zohran tshirt.

LA has been occupied & now DC. I remain hopeful for NYC

Continuing to reimagine a sculptural device for experiencing extended reality as a living, growing object—one that embraces #entropy over #plannedobsolescence. What if utilitarian & homogeneous technology became idiosyncratic wearable art?

I draw almost everyday. Sometimes it’s related to a project—more specific to a concept & then sometimes it’s just letting the line take me places

So today I sat down & put one line down, then another. Line falls & foot falls & we all go forward. Our perception of time allows for nothing else

Pics of Boschie, the Brooklyn Cat, taking his first road trip to North Carolina to meet all his Southern cat (& human) relatives. He’s time-sharing an outdoor cat apartment with his cousin Junior during the cool parts of the afternoon 😸
