No laughing, I’ll do that myself 

*blowing off some dust

I initially set the site up in preparation for a good long job hunt over a year ago after my studio suddenly closed, and fully expected months of unemployment-facilitated time to catalogue, update, present, and finish work… basically, time to fill + gloss the official portfolio while flexing + demonstrating relevant skills here.

Unfortunately, my post-holiday job hunt lasted all of a week (blast my fortune!).

Before this turns too boring to anyone but me, I’ll add (more as a note to myself than anything) that I’ve been thinking of a personal art blog in too-delicate and too-high-bar ways. Everything has to be great! Perfect! As good as anything out there! What I have up here so far borders, from one of my many points of slices of view, on passable-to-embarrassing (to quote an artist friend of mine, that moment that all artists (who are actually human beings) have when they look at their own work and go “I’m a fraud I’m a fraud I’m a fraud“… that feeling). One truth is that I (am fortunate to) work with many very skilled colleagues: active artists whose work is so good that it rides that edge between being inspiring and wanting to have them pushed into a wheat thresher. What can I do that compares to this, this, this, this, or this? Fuck those guys and their awesomeness.

(Actually, <3 them lots.)

Ok. This got boring.

Anyway: new scratches and old crap and unfinished things that amuse me.
