(he/him) Data Monkey, printmaker, absurdist. If we are joking I will probably take the bit too far. Courage/honesty/respect are my core values. Any friend of Dax is a friend of mine. Posts from me are my own opinion. No you may not use my art.
I highly recommend having a dog, because then you get to say things like "don't lick my banjo."

Hot take: With just a few tweaks, Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" could be a Sisters of Mercy song...

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).
Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #snowy, and so from a trip up Mount Rainier here's a Steller's Jay. The blue eye markings indicate it's the northern variant - southern birds have white markings.

Someone called for reposts of original art to help put some positivity on the feeds, so here you go… a mid-state in my diary painting from last year, where I decided to add in a layer of figurativeness, and did a black chunky posca teapot sketch over the sort of abstract layered background

This week on my Substack, I'm musing about developing an artistic style—both in prose and in art.

(and since I said I was posting art daily until New Year's, here's an '07 painting of the pharmacy/soda fountain where I often grabbed lunch in college).

When I was younger I had no idea of the horror of having a fish oil capsule get stuck in your throat… just don’t get older if you can help it.
