TAKE MORE COLD SHOWERS :) View quoted note →

this morning i saw a dog get hit by a car. at like the first light less than a block away from my house this dog (with a collar) ran across the crosswalk an got clipped at an oblique angle and collapsed and didn’t move again. i swear everybody at the intersection was holding their breath cars drove unhesitatingly over it, not crushing it beneath their tires, but just gliding over the top of it enough to make its long fur blow in the wind. a woman on the other side of the intersection at the front of the line actually held up traffic and walked into the intersection and carried the dog off the road. i half expected her to get hit herself. while she blocker her side of the intersection, i took my opportunity to make my left turn. i’m not 100% sure if the dog was dead, it was certainly at least unconscious. it was “clipped” by the car that hit it and did not pass under any tires. the whole episode was horrifying to watch, i wonder why we generally don’t feel the same way about a squirrel or an opossum. i suppose they usually don’t have collars or owners.

every so often drawing for fun is very rewarding. i never really get in a consistent habit of it tho. this was a christmas card #art #artstr

buc ees is an interesting thing since the entire business model basically revolves around a restroom

what a journey this has been i cannot believe there was no cracking at all-i was convinced something would go horribly wrong risks were high. such a large porcelain platter would very very likely have s-cracks, warping or complete destruction but somehow this came out unscathed additionally a variety of things could have gone wrong with the glaze with impurities, cobalt running, uneven application or any other amount of nightmares. copying this imari platter has influenced my own work over the course of the past year (though a majority of the work for this was done in the last week 😅). especially copying the floral designs has given me tools and motifs to explore and improve upon, and the sheer scale of underglaze painting on this piece has forced me to streamline my blue-on-white-drawing process. i won’t show a picture of the back since it’s blank and i spent two hours sanding to successfully accidently grind my own name off. it needs a lot more work. i could also put lustre on this piece but that would be more risk and think i’m about done with this particular roller coaster. that being said it might look nice- and why not risk it for the biscuit? i remember when i started this project people told me it was completely impossible, which nearly guaranteed me the determination to finish it. i’m proud of myself and this piece. “the poignancy of things” (2025) tyson

take care of your body and it will take care of you. note to self: do not underestimate this concept.

so i was wanting to post some cool stuff i was looking at, but i was worried some people might think it was mine and didn’t want to clarify/deal with that. so the solution is @npub1zhfs...n958 is my alt for posting badass art that i did not make. it also will be nice as a sort of archive to store my references #art #artstr View quoted note →

so you can pay restaurant prices even in the woods

stakes are high (i did pick up the pace) #ceramics #art #artstr

or one

“neither, milk is milk and drawings is drawings”

oh dear i need to pick up the pace #ceramics #art #artstr

taking a freezing cold shower, there is a sense of purification

totally forgot to post this one. this was the first time i had a thickness issue with the clear glaze on the rim and was not super pleased…but it’s still a cute little bowl so i’m not too upset. #ceramics #art #artstr #pottery

i need to go to the gym more often

Whether you're a shredder or you're knitting a sweater It makes no difference, just keep getting better In competition with no body but yourself 'Cause you're no body but yourself, never anybody else And that's something that's dope to be If you don't believe me, go outside and see The impossible odds to exist is enough So wake up, get a board and shred it up
