Big shout-out to Benson Boone and his band for bringing Queen’s Sir Brian May (a stroke survivor) out to rock the Coachella stage ✨🎸🎤

Lukewarm crowd response notwithstanding, this clip is well-worth 3 minutes of your undivided attention. Gotta trust me on this, team. This is epic:

I promise that no shrimp were actually harmed or consumed in the making of this photo.
I cannot say the same for the nori. 😆
Shrimply the best!

Might as well start making a dragon since I'm done finished with a current customer wyvern order and waiting on the supplies to be shipped for a recent customer special order.

My orchid is going to have blooms and it looks like the little kodama is staring in wonder at it. 😄

I embarked upon a journey exploring the Buddha's Hand citron fruit. This strange alien-looking fruit had been candied & homed to a pretty little jar. I count this as a delicious win & will enjoy occasionally dipping into this jar for a little tongue tingle of citrusy lemon flavor with floral notes.

I think it's important to write about how and why we make art because like... humans need to make art, and they need to experience it. It's a way of the human brain processing reality; without enough of it, you go fuckin nuts. So if we can help people make good art, we can offer some nourishment.

I played in the kitchen today and this is a first... I cut up Buddha's fingers and candied it. Yum!
