Random photo of my bebes. That is all. #monitor #lizards

Two adolescent Dumerils monitor lizards pose in a vivarium enclosure. One is darker and the other is tan, both looking in the direction of the photographer.

Wow, I posted this new set on IG around noon to promote a new photojam and it sold out in a few hours. Things have been challenging and business is still very tight but this is so reassuring. I'm blessed to live in this town. This is a practical set. No AI. #workingartist #photography #chess

A man in black and white stripes is deep inside a tight triangular tunnel, the walls have a strict chessboard pattern. This causes the leading lines to converge on the model visually in the center of the frame.

JUNCTIONS is my first foray into art curation and our opening night was a fantastic evening. I was blown away by all the art lovers who came to enjoy and discuss the work of the amazing artists in my building. It was an honor to assemble this collection. The after-party was so much fun too! #art

@maverickonstage.bsky.social letting me experiment with minimalist set designs.. haven't posted a photo in a while! #photography #liminal #surreal #trans #art

A person is reclined in a narrow undefined space, lit all in red, except for a stripe of light blue emanating behind them. Deep shadows vignette the image, the feeling is constrictive and dreamlike.

Ten years today I decided the photos I was taking could be a career and so began my professional journey. What an amazing decade of making rad art with rad people. ❤️ This little collage is the tiniest fraction of images I would have liked to share.

Thank you to my friend @fayehavoc.bsky.social, who recently sewed an insane 20' single seam to help me create a fabric backdrop for the studio. This project will save thousands in paper costs while reducing my carbon footprint, and significantly decrease my business's reliance on US made supplies.

Ash and Faye take a selfie in front of the fabric backdrop they just created, in it's theater style draping setup.

A very long stretch of fabric extends into the foreground. In the distant background Faye can be seen preparing to cut the material.

Faye places pins along the 20' length of fabric in preparation for sewing it together.

Things have been slow lately. But I try to see the bright side: I've more free time to deep dive into my work. @katydecobray.bsky.social brought me her Din Djarin cosplay and an inspiring painting by John Gallagher. This is the result after six hours of editing. This is the way. #mandalorian #noAI

Katy Decobray cosplays as the Mandalorian, Din Djarin. In an exciting action shot she flies through an explosion backwards while returning laser fire from unseen enemies. In her other arm is Grogu being held tightly. Debris and blaster fire is everywhere, and light dramatically gleams off her beskar armour.
