This is legitimately one of the more amazing things I've seen. One of the biggest kites ever made.

A shot down and across a stretch of beach. There is a football field sized kite of a trilobite getting off the ground.

I didn't get a good pic of this, but the kite sperm are escaping from the kite condom.

I thought we had an agreement, that you'd be there for me on my 50th birthday. I can't hold leaving early against you, but I will always hate that you're gone. 💔

Spam email in the era of AI is weird as fuck. Just received one offering to fully automate the San Francisco Ghost Sign Mapping Project for me. Excuse me, this project is fueled by autism and Monster energy. A glorified autocorrect could never...

Thrifted this beautiful reprint of a Jac P Thijsse book on summer plants/wildlife so I can practice my Dutch nature vocab.

In the weeks after 9/11 I made a "genetic black box" containing my hair, nails, and baby teeth. I gave it to my mom for Christmas so she would never have to worry about IDing me in a terrorist attack. She slapped me for it because she thought I was being insincere. I was dead serious.

A metal box with a large handle. Inside is an old Pacific Bell phone book with three vials embedded in it.

I am truly not physically coordinated enough to play with a box cutter that doesn't retract.

My new favorite tool from my Night Watch Burglary Tools series -- the box cutter belt holster.

A hand with a black watch holding up a bolt cutter in a belt holster. The holster and the handle of the bolt cutter have been covered in a cross stitch of a man wearing a lace ruffle. There is beaded fringe hanging off it.

In the industrial part of Alkmaar, hunting for thrift stores and scrap dealers, and spotted these A++ repurposed welding tank bollards. cc @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

Sometimes you're in your art studio, painting on pearls as you drink tea, and you drop one into the cup. Not as bad as drinking the paint water, but close. 🫣

A hand holding a spoon against the rim of a tea cup. On the spoon is wilted mint and a single large pearl with a portrait of Girl With A Pearl Earring painted on it. It's wet and looks like it's been fished out of the cup.

I've kinda gone back and forth with who/what comes next. But since a lot of 2027 residency/fellowship/grant applications are coming due, I'm finally commiting -- it's going to be Van Eyck, the jewels of the Ghent Altarpiece, historical pigments, and blazing one's own path.

I keep forgetting to share this series I'm working on. The Night Watch Burglary Tools -- functional tools of theft and property violence skinned in a thin veneer of civility. Made using vintage cross-stitches of the Rembrandt painting The Night Watch.

A grouping of tools photographed on a white background. They're sewn from a cross stitch of the Rembrandt painting The Night Watch. There's a balaclava, eye mask, beanie, Maglite flashlight, and two small crowbars.

I moved to the Netherlands in 2022 and thrifting is my partner's family's love language. It's nice, my family back home is like that too, but I haven't really found the Dutch thing I'm called to collect yet. I've just kinda been continuing the American collections while here. That is, until today...

Two white ceramic jars with silly faces and conical gnome hats. One sata thee (tea in Dutch) and one says suiker (sugar in Dutch)

Also, the building is one of my favorites in the Netherlands. People sleep on this country's modern architecture. It's superb.

A building that looks like a giant mirrored glass bowl with a small forest on top. The mirrored sides reflect the nearby buildings, landscaping, and sky.

I believe this is the world's only art depot that's been turned into its own freestanding museum attraction. This was from our ten minute tour of the hanging art storage room. This might be the most concentrated collection of value I've ever seen. Gotta be nearly a billion euros of art in here.

Went to the Art Depot Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam yesterday. After seeing/smelling Wim T. Schippers' Pindakaasvloer the warning sign at the ticket counter made perfect sense. Also, that's not my footprint in the peanut butter, but someone else did step in it.

A sign in Dutch and English warning that there's an art piece made of peanut butter on display and people with allergies should rethink theyr visit.

Two red shoes pointing towards a floor of peanut butter with a single high heel print in it.

The handle of a screwdriver that's been covered in a cross stitch. There's a bearded man's face in the cross stitch and it looks like he's wearing a big fluffy hat.

Once you see it you can't unsee it... Jamiroquai.

A Philips head screwdriver where the handle has been covered in a cross stitch. There's a bearded man's face on the cross stitch, and the way it's sewn, it looks like he has a giant fluffy hat on.
