I have so many feelings to process right now.

Abyssal Box | Studio Cubed @abyssalbox.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Hey! I still exist. Just been busy! I got the sticker designs finished! I've ordered a set of them to give out and you can find the design on sale on my red bubble! www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1786... #iceout #noice #abolishice #hydrationisresistance #resistfascism #hydrateordiedrate

A watercolor painting of loon with an intense expression rearing up out of an oversized glass of water, is wings outstretched. The water is splashing around the loon. An yellow banner is wrapping around the glass that reads "No ICE, Hydration = Resistance" the design is outlined in a white shaped border with a grey background to help visualize that it's a sticker design.

A line drawing of a loon with stern eyebrows flapping its wings in a splashing glad is water. A ribbon wraps around the glass that says "No ICE. Hydration is resistance"

Nothing has changed in MN. ICE is still very much here and still on their same bullshit. Do not let the media "silence" fool you. #iceoutnow

A friend of mine had an idea for buttons with a slogan she came up with and needed a design. I helped out. This is the poster I made from it, I'll post the buttons when they're here. Feel free to print this to hang up and show your solidarity. #iceout #fuckice #resist #protestart

An image with a drawing of s box turtle hiding in it's shell on a dark background, the white text reads "someone I love is afraid to leave their home" and #iceout

I am at it again. I'm impressed I got the main art for this one done so fast. I just had the idea this morning. Here are 4 images showing the main stages of it's creation. I'll post the completed image for protest art use tomorrow. These are just to show you the progress! #fuckice #resist

A post it note thumbnail sketch with a roughly scribbled bird meant to be a loon on a cross wearing a thorn crown like Jesus, the scribbled handwriting on the left side says "My Govmt x2, why have you forsaken me" as shorthand for "My government, my government, why have you forsaken me?"

A rough pencil line drawing of a loon nailed to a cross wearing a crown of thorns in a direct parody of the crucifixion of Christ.

A more detailed ink line drawing of a loon, nailed on a cross in a direct parody of the crucifixion of Christ.

A watercolor painting of a loon nailed to the cross, but the nails are icicles. The loon is wearing a crown of thorns. The image is a meant to look like the crucifixion of Christ but in this case Jesus is replaced with a Loon

Leaving a Smudge in your feed. May it be the timeline cleanse you needed. Seriously though. This sweet boy just lays in my lap and rests his chin on my desk while I paint. It's wonderful! I love him so much! #artcat #voidcat #blackcat #art #workinghardorhardlyworking?

A black cat resting his chin on the edge of a white desk. There is the edge of an unfinished canvas painting just to the left of the frame.

I'm rebranding! I've decided to integrate my two "selves" into one whole being. I'm moving towards only having Abyssal Box as my studio brand. The existing Studio Cubed content and sites will remain for a while so I can get the word out and redirect my audience, but I'll be phasing Studio Cubed out.

So, Studio Cubed was originally meant to be a collective of 3 artists, and for a time, we had that in a studio in St Paul. Over time, lives fell apart, and that community dissolved, leaving me holding an empty failed idea. The studio name became my own, but it was never meant to just be me.

So, the event I made that lantern for went very well, and my lantern even wound up on the local news! It's been a pretty fun evening all around! Happy solstice y'all! #lantern #solstice #art

Abyssal Box | Studio Cubed @abyssalbox.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

I, uh, hyperfocused for 20 hours and made a lantern. It's jointed so it can be puppeted to swim, and it's a lake sturgeon. Why? Because it is. It's on a really big stick that's as tall as me. #lantern #fish #sturgeon #puppet #wiresculpture #art

I remembered why I hate wire sculpture work.... My hands and arms are scratched up, I bled on my project a few times, and I got blisters on my fingers from the pliers.... But the frame for my puppet fish lantern is like 95% done! Sorry. It's difficult to photograph wire. It's a lake sturgeon.

I'm having a bit of a poor mental health day, I'm sure many of you can relate. I'm just feeling like, what I do, my art, doesn't matter. That it's not enough. However, when I think about wanting that validation and recognition, I see it as being conceited and selfish, so I can't win either way.

I have an update on an in progress, still not done, but I like where it's going. #watercolor #ink #art

Did this one a while back and Fitbit about it. Don't mind the giant insect on the horizon, his name is Fred and he's just vibing. #watercolor

A small stylized desert sunset watercolor, with a large insect silhouette crawling across the foothills on the horizon. The artist's paint brush is visible laying across the bottom of the image.

Finally finished this one. It doesn't have a name yet. I'll get it digitized for print later this year. #acrylic #painting #art #robots

A painting of a group of silver grey robots, some broken, with glowing blue eyes. They are looking at a small yellow flower growing in their junk yard.

Did a quick sketch over lunch. I like this concept enough that I think I'll use it in a larger work later! "Frame of Mind" #art #conceptsketch

A pencil sketch of a person hanging a picture frame on a wall with a human brain nailed to it as the "painting". The veins and nerves still attached to the brain stem seem to lead back to the person's head.

These aren't finished yet, but here's some progress on the snail kintsugi and the imposter syndrome self portrait. #watercolor #ink #art #mentalhealth

A drawing of a person with a theater curtain drawn open over their face and a massive dark void where their face should be.

A painting of a snail on a branch looking at the stars and full moon. It's shell was cracked and repaired. This painting is not complete.

Progress report! Cleaning the scan up is gonna take a while, but we're trucking away at it! This is just artistic expression and not a literal call for violence. I do not actually condone the real use of guillotine. #protestart #politicalart #resist #wearethe99percent #eattherich #nokings

Just a blurry photo of the poster's computer screen with Photoshop open and the painting they've been working on of the statue of liberty, a guillotine, and the American flag with a banner that reads "Guillotines for a better America!"

Progress update on the paintings I'm working on! Slow and steady. I need to remain patient with the process. #watercolor #resist #nokings #wearethe99percent #eattherich #art #protestart

An image of the OPs desk, holding a painting above their lap. The painting is an inprogress work of a protest sign that depicts the statue of Liberty, an American flag, a guillotine and a blank banner intertwined amongst them. On the desk in the background on the upper left of the photo is a smaller painting in a book of a snail looking at the sky. The night sky colors are painted in.

So, here's the progress so far on my latest protest piece I'm making for a friend! The sketch (and text overlay to get an idea of where the words go) and the inked version. Next I add color! I'm pretty pleased with the layout. #nokings #protestart #eattherich #art #ink #wearethe99percent #resist

Okay okay, of all the different tattoo ideas I've been throwing around and my inability to pick one to start with, I've figured it out. It's a taiko and a magatama that loosely represent a #semicolon. The #taiko community is why I'm still here 10 years later, and why I'm continuing my story.

A pencil sketch of a taiko drum with a rope hanging off the side handle. The rope ends with a bow holding a magatama stone talisman and 2 small bells. The configuration loosely resembles a semicolon.
