Some of you have likely already caught this news on Instagram, but I'm finally releasing my secretive, deeply personal card deck project from 2020! 2023-07-31 17:48:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Happy Ramble Day!
All over the place in this one, but it's so good to be walking again. Hit play to hear me yell about snakes and coyotes and get lost on someone's private property and also discuss the question of "What is my job, really, wh...

Finally caught an installment of Babs's online Figure Drawing Club last month! Here's a few noodz, all drawn straight to ink with my smelly, leaky Ahab fountain pen. 2023-03-08 19:31:30 +0000 UTC View Post
I dunno about you, but sometimes when I get anxious I decide it's time to make a little graph.
I joked with my partner that this behavior feels like stacking my pocket change. "Look! I can make a pyramid! Or a square! Ooh this one has rust o...

Oh the deep, deep relief of releasing a Ramble! There's nothing like it.
