No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.

Scrolling the feed.
All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought

This is why early childhood education in the arts is SO important. It's much easier to develop this when the stakes are low and you'll be praised for your effort rather than the result. So that when you get to age 9-12 and start to care, you'll be juuuust good enough to push through and not stop.

I'll be there (prob somewhat hiding with hat and mask, but am friendly shy) Come on by!
Yep yep yep, that's the direction we are going too.
We are doing the same thing in our house

Man I get it. I wish traditional media was broken out into different categories.
Sweet sweet Winifred is the August miniprint for Marrow Tier babes over on Pa. Treon. Neat! Also here is a list of the places that I will be this fall if you would like to say hello and peruse my fine bones and toads.

The toads are *particularly* fine this year, I must say

I am on a lifelong quest to paint super round, chunky flowers that look like cabbages. This is the latest installation!

The Last Fifteen Minutes is a marionette opera and short film about neighbors choosing to have dinner together fifteen minutes before a giant kaiju eats them.

This is a project I'm so excited to make happen, and I hope you will be part of on this journey!
