That's what I've been told to use, too. Thanks!

Also notice my website is now hosted on data servers supported by 300% renewable energy credits. In the days of heat domes and data center protests, this was an important transition for me. Our studios are also solar-powered, and we have electric cars.

Just got a scam e-mail asking about purchasing art from me. They wanted me to send a bunch of pictures, presumably so they could steal the images. If you get a vague, odd-sounding e-mail asking about purchasing your work, copy the text and paste it into a search engine. #artist #artscams

Working on some new ideas, still framing several works from the 'Remains' series, processing some pictures to post on the website, trying to not to freak out that the summer break which has barely just started already seems to be flying by. More updates soon.

The trouble with AI art isn’t just lack of originality. It’s something far bigger | Eric Reinhart

When artwork is invented by a machine, it loses its most important power: to help people connect. In an already lonely era, that is particularly dangerous

Stalled out last weekend when I realized I didn't have the wood I needed to finish framing a few canvasses I had stretched. Bought some wood early this week, and cut it today into 216 feet of lattice for framing. That should last a while....
