This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Enjoy your baseball team tomorrow. Even if they are terrible. Even if they make you mad and frustrated. The offseason is long and the world is full of horrors. Even very bad baseball is better than waiting for spring.

My wife has just overheard a small child outlining the grounds for why she didn't like someone as "If I told him I'd seen a rabbit he'd just say okay and that would be the end of it." Seems like solid reasoning to me.

look at this beautiful tomato. look at it. there are over thirty more of these on my vines (alongside a bunch of adorable yellow pear tomatoes and my forever favourite indigo rose) she became sandwiches this evening and covered the majority of a piece of sourdough in one slice.
2/3 of a tomato rests on a wooden cutting board with four slices in front of it. the photo is taken from a 3/4 profile. 2/3 of a tomato rests on a wooden cutting board with four slices in front of it. the photo is taken closest to the slices and the marvelling of the inner fruit is very visible

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

I actually prefer this version to the reference image I provided, which was taken by a very good friend. Jessica's work is incredible.
succulents and foliage creep up the neck of a woman, whose pale face is turned towards the viewer in 3/4 profile. the lower half of her face is largely untouched, but starting at the bridge of her nose a cavern opens up revealing four large purple-blue flowers, white bells on red chandeliers, and a small bunch of dusky pink flowers. Her red hair Is pulled into a low bun. the background starts at a dusky mauve at the bottom, and is in gradient towards a pale pink.

okay my other batch of 40+ matches will make it into the next pour, but I wanted to share today’s studio experiment. I have always previously left bronze bare, so to work with patina (and for it to do /exactly/ what I hoped) was a really fun first
eight bronze matches are displayed against a white background. the matches are polished to a high shine while the burnt portions of each head and neck are patinas a dark, sooty black that is nearly entirely matte.

before we set off on our longest walk yet, my husband played Biz Markie singing “Benny and the Jets” which lead to a lot of laughing as we realized how stuck it had got in both our heads. 3/4 of the way through our walk, at the hardest hill, I admitted that the earworm had been replaced by B*n J*vi

we got back photos from the mentorship residency and this is one of my favourites — picking ink spots out of a rolled palette while my mentee waits for the go ahead. with only two weeks in the studio, I got to play master printer and assistant to many of the projects created: division of labour.
two figures occupy a well lit work space, with wooden cabinets and glass counter tops. the figure to the right looks on patients at the left figure, who uses tweezers to remove spots in a light green ink palette that is rolled out between them. the left figure wears an oversized jean shirt and is hunched over. the right figure has blue gloves on and is wearing a light tan shirt rolled up at the sleeves.

I had a solo weekend and used it to: make cherry lime syrup for hibiscus iced tea (twice); dehydrate oregano + thyme from the garden to make oil for the focaccia that then followed; made beef jerky; brined bacon in pickle juice (oh yes, dear reader, it was excellent); put up framed photos;

over the next two weeks, I am mentoring five recent graduates in the production of work that is, in some way, engaging with the prints in my university's collection. today we did studio visits after their initial engagement with the collection yesterday, to see what they are starting to think about.

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…
A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

starting another process thread. please pray for my spindly burnt matches. theres a little stack of burnt matches in the lower left hand corner that were successfully cast in bronze. those were cast last year. today I spent the afternoon burning the long ones and then dipping them in wax.
a hand holds steady a white tray set against a wooden counter. inside the white tray are twenty nine long matches that have been partially burnt. some are burnt just barely. others have long burnt necks that twist 1/3 of the way down the long matchstick. 

the matches on the left hand side are covered in a dark wax whereas the ones on the right side appear slightly darker but the texture of burnt and unburnt wood is clearly visible.
 
in the lower right hand corner there are seven regular sized wooden matches that have been cast in bronze.

for valentine’s day, I made my hubby the spice rack from the simpson’s. for privacy reasons, photos aren’t ideal in his office but now we can have a silly, functional shelf that’s 100% love. I stained the wood two tones, and the large nails are purely decorative. it’s actually pretty solid.
a wood spice rack that has almost no 90 degree angles. the left side goes up, and the right side is almost level but the front bar is attached underneath. the are fake splits in the wood and several large decorative bent nails to mimic the original “design” a slightly different angle of the aforementioned spice rack, from the top side to show off the dimensional staining. the short edges were all stained darker to mimic the cartoon aesthetica screen grab that I referenced of homer’s spice rack from the simpson’s. I mirrored the design because the knot was better on the reverse side of the back wood plank
