A pen doodle of Han Solo holding a snake like a gun and saying "Great shot, kid. Don't get cocky."

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up? I had “Snakes of North America” over my bed, and a particular large Han Solo poster as well.

I finished up the forest beast last night. Took a lot of revisions, but I’m really happy with it! Please, please make it through the bisque firing, my friend.

Had a discussion with my spouse and some friends industry specific phrases. In it, I learned about an excellent new noun: Footgun. Footgun: a device with a strong potential to shoot yourself in your own foot.

Tree progress. I’ll have to worry less about them being mistaken for broccoli, more about being mistaken for morels. It might improve once the trunks are drier and I can add detail and more branches.
Bunch of half sculpted clay trees that do, in fact, look like janky morels.

I am six trees into this tree making marathon, and have spent the last 20 min trying to figure if I could rallycross a kei car.

Making good progress with test trees. The next step is to take them all off again and make the final ones. And cut the mouth and attach the tail

I definitely started this big, tree-covered beast before figuring out how on earth I can sculpt trees.

This weekend was the second to last rallycross event of the season, and the only night races too. It’s hard to describe how incredible fun it is. Fell asleep think about how we drove, and how I can drive better today. I have a solid chance at the podium - assuming I keep pushing + don’t screw up

Random dialect musing: Is “Work party” (gathering folks to work together on a task) a West Coast term? A Washington state term? American English? I didn’t encounter it before firing kilns here in WA state, but maybe that was simply being young. A South African friend laughed at the very idea.

Plan for the day: cut holes in the bumper of our fiesta, weld pipes together, weld scrap metal to the car, and end up with a light bar. I’m amazed that it’s an option to just DO things like this!

I have a half-done sculpture waiting for me at home, but I’ve spent all day organizing wood storage up at the kiln. It’s so satisfying, and I can’t wait for the first firing of the season!

It’s so hot today, but I’m thinking ahead to fall. We’ll be wood firing as soon as the burn ban is lifted. I love this weirdo beast I’ve started for that firing.
A tall, akward clay sculpture of a beast on four wobbly legs. It’s very early in the process, and looks like a potato on some cones.

I put my phone in my pocket with the camera on, and actually got some cool photos.
A series of tiny circles, some with bits of sky, some grass, some dirt. I think it was through the fabric of the pants.

I took a sea kayaking class 4 yrs ago, and spent a whole day practicing flipping the kayak and climbing back in. A warm day, a swimsuit, and calm lake inspired us to try it again. Approximately one million bruises and a paddle-busted lip later, I can report that is harder than I remembered.

I was being a bit stressed because I only have one free Saturday this summer. Then I looked ahead, and realized there’s only two more free until December.

"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

Heard the unmistakable sound of my office chair swiveling while alone in the apartment and, crucially, not sitting in my office chair. Turns out: RACCOON.

Burying our sorrows through a long scheduled weekend of rallycross in Oregon. It’s hard to have morning coffee without her, even in another state. I miss that bratty cat.

We’re saying goodbye to our sweet cat Ozette today, after nearly two decades. She’s the sweetest, softest, meanest beast ever, and definitely appears in my sculptures.
A round, slightly wall eyed cat being held by a dude in a green flannel. Ozette looking a bit regal, bit menacing.

We’ve been on a total roller coaster with one of our two beloved elderly cats. Over the last week, we’d been prepared to say good bye three times. Each time, she unexpectedly perked back up. It’s just so draining.

The summer is a weird time for me. I can’t fire the wood kiln until the burn ban lifts again in the fall. In theory, I should be starting sculptures now for fall, or relaxing. But instead I’m failing to do the former, which is stressing me too much to actually do the latter.

I have two urgent tasks to do today: clean the house and come up with a really cool sculpture idea. Not feeling either one, at the moment.

I would love to give this a shot though, if you are or know an artist in Seattle who might want to sublet a studio space for a bit I'd love to hear from you. I'm good at taking care of plants.

I’ve never been a “car person”, and am generally a slightly hesitant driver. But now apparently I’m into rally cross? I don’t know how this happened, but it’s absurdly fun. I sunburnt myself last weekend while welding the car, and spent this Saturday getting sunburnt by hooning around a track.

I kintsugi’d our car.
A close up of a blue ford fiesta SE. While it’s seen better days, with a few scrapes on the bumper, part of the bumper has been repaired with plastic welding, bumper cement, and 23k gold leaf. There’s also a small golden “traffic safety charm” sticker in the middle of the hood. If I’d stuck that on early, I probably wouldn’t have clipped the bumper with a trailer.
