In the 10,000 years since I last posted on tumblr, I stopped teaching basic art 101 and beginning 3d design, started teaching animation, taught workshops for teenagers, did an artist residency, taught workshops for old people, had a couple crises, had a couple shows (unrelated to crises), developed clinical burnout and a serious resurgence of serious depression, survived the pandemic, had a bunch of friends and family NOT survive the pandemic, developed some shiny new health problems that aren't so much new as much as "I actually know about them now," ran into some really shitty educational biases and politics at my job, had another crisis, got threatened with firing, stopped teaching drawing, lost my art studio, got a new job (I'm working at a frame shop now instead of a university), and started playing Dungeons and Dragons on a regular basis.

Been a while. Sup.

Just finished a residency with the amazing @makeamericaproject people. We were exploring ideas of homeland and the spirit of places. We went up to my hometown region of Steamboat Springs and Hayden, Colorado, and these three little guys are some of the results. Paperclay miniatures woodfired on a budget in a barbecue grill at the foot of Hahns Peak, with site-specific found objects. Thank you to Ilana, Maridee, and Lily for the opportunity.

It’s been almost 2 years since I started teaching myself the polyester lithography process and I finally have results I’m happy with. This is a huge personal victory. I named my press Constance. All hail.
