Still Good

April 22, 2023 · Fauna, Other

For this year’s Stanza show, where artists are assigned a poem to draw inspiration from and make art for. I got to draw for my friend Lore’s poem, which was fun and also great because there are bikes in the poem and we met via bikes. :3

The original’s available at Push/Pull along with the anthology zine with all the poetry and some additional art!

More for the Sakura-Con Art Show, which will be on the 4th floor of the new Summit building this year, which is as far as it can possibly be from Artist Alley, because whoever is doing layouts for this con hates me specifically, I guess.

the wrong things

Stuff I did for the Moving in Stereo(scopic) show at Push/Pull.

I scanned the originals before I added the grey ink. Maxx did the 3-color fiddling and printed them on the riso. The prints turned out nice and 3d effect through the glasses is pretty cool.

Trying to use up some of the frames I’ve horded over the years. This little painting is available here.

Itty bitty mushroom paintings

Been stuck inside and painted some itty bitty mushrooms for Push/Pull’s Fruiting Bodies group show, opening tonight. Making work specifically for a frame is pretty fun.

Dry record haiku

I’m tired of the record-breaking. Play us an old tune, weather.

trapped inside (again);
watercolor the dry earth
while waiting, waiting.

five days until rain,
or the forecast lies (again)
and the smoke stays, stays.

Haven’t been able to spend much time on Art Fight this year. Getting fired back for my mass attacks is skewing my attack ratio a bit, but I’m tryin’ to be less neurotic about things that don’t matter haha…
