Afternoon pear 🍐

Suzan Frecon grinds her own pigments into oil to build custom colors for her paintings.

I’m fascinated by Wade Guyton’s work and his giant printers.

I am perpetually surprised that there are so few art books available digitally (kindle or ibook or custom app even) - it seems like such a natural fit.

John Larriva makes expressive small oil paintings - mostly portraits. His paintings are 8x10 or smaller. I like small art. You can hang it in any home or prop it up on your desk.

Trying to cook mussels for the first time tonight.

Never gets old.

Sometimes I wonder what my phone thinks of me.

The mannequin with a lightsaber tells you everything you need to know about Utilikilts

Herb Jackson’s paintings feel like an archeological dig into cake and feelings.

Ball Auto Service is a magical time capsule in my neighborhood. They will fix up your car and sell you clean gas, with no ethanol. They guys there appreciate that a 10 year old Yaris is still on the road.

Jordy Kerwick’s work seems to float somewhere between non-objective abstraction and deeply personal symbolism.

I found Erik Jones’ art on Instagram - his work has a playful but slightly broken quality to it - I think a lot of contemporary artists are influenced by techo-glitches whether they know it or not.

Had a good drawing session at Feast Arts tonight. Good crowd, good model. Worked in @Procreate on a 50% grey background, 6B pencil brush.

It’s not that dumb.

Wednesday morning commuter art. I saw a woman on the train who looked like a monk with her hoodie pulled down
