Hello, I'm Becklo!

I'm a photographer and graphic designer in Detroit, Michigan. I like to take pictures and make stickers.

I do not like advertising myself. But alas, new year, new me. Or something.

Here's some stuff I've done that you can find at becklo.com :

#Art #ArtistsOfBluesky

A stone garden figure with a baby doll head on its neck, sitting in front of a tree with wrought iron decor leaning against it.

A line of five circular stickers spread out across a plank of wood. Each sticker has a drawing of Isabelle, a yellow anthropomorphic dog from Animal Crossing, smiling. Text around the circle says "I hope you enjoy the loveliest of lovely days!"

A shed at Eastern Market in Detroit that has a large turkey painted on it.

A stack of stickers. Each sticker is a cloud with a rainbow behind it. Text inside the cloud says, "disappoint your parents."

No joke, I was sick for almost two months after that day and I was wearing a mask while I was in there. I finally had to get antibiotics. I was very uncertain of its restoration viability, so I'm really impressed with the progress just from the outside!

My realtor, who is one of the best people I know, is sending this mailer out in the Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor area, so please keep your eyes out for this if you're out there. But she pretty much covers SE Michigan and I highly recommend you hit Jo Cook up if you're even curious about homeownership.

Text says, "Oh no 🤬 Not another f*%@ing post card from a real estate agent." - you, circa 2025

Unfortunately, it's true.

My son has an expensive interest in Paw Patrol & NumberBlocks that I need to financially support.

Please reach out if:
- You're looking to buy + sell real estate.
- You are wealthy and are prepared to retire me so I can spend less time sending out post cards and more time improving my pickleball serve."

At the bottom is a QR code next to text that says, "Stalk Me On Facebook."
Phone number: 248-965-1764

To the right is a circular insert photo of a blonde woman holding her son, and they are both smiling. Text around the photo says, "This is the kind of mostly nonsense energy I bring to real estate ❤️"

When I suddenly found myself looking for a house, we went on a tour with our realtor, Jo Cook. My MIL mentioned a house she saw on Zillow for $30k so Jo Cook took us to see it.

I'm so glad this is getting restored because it needed a LOT of work.

Long story short: we were house hunting and my mother in law saw that this house was for sale for $30k. Our gem of a realtor was like, "Well, let's go see it!" And then we did and I got bronchitis immediately after hahaha

Who else remembers the SARS turtles that were all over Detroit in the early 2000s?

My grandpa would've turned 96 last week and it made me think about one of my favorite photos of him: laying down in his front yard with a camera to take a picture of a cat on a leash.

If you wonder why I am the way I am, here's example number one.

A man wearing a khaki shirt, brown pants, white socks, and dark shoes is laying down on his stomach on a grass lawn. He's holding a camera and looking at a Siamese cat on a leash in front of him.

An open metal gate with an intricate design at the top of two birds on either side of a large chalice filled with fruit. It opens to a small courtyard with a red door of a brick house. There is a black screen door in front of the red door. Leaves of ivy grow across the top of the entrance.

I like my bathroom.

A photograph of a lit candle in a glass jar with a pumpkin design on it. Behind the candle is a calico cat soap dispenser that's illuminated only by the candle.

I like watching this channel about melting wax and making stamps when I'm feeling chill and creative. There's no talking, but there are English closed caption subtitles explaining the process.
