I got into printing, mainly block prints and linocut in 2023. Here’s some of what I’ve made so far. Most of what I’ve been printing is fruits and vegetables! I sold a few of these through ArtsWorcester at StART on the Street and Worcester Pride in 2023. See more of my art.
Trash Paintings, 2020-ongoing Mixed media art waste (often including acrylic, PVA glue, paper, cardboard, and Sculptamold) on canvas board In my series ‘Trash Paintings’, I only use materials left over from other art projects—unused acrylic paint lingering on the palette, sheets of half-dried glue from the morning after a papier-mache session, snippets of cardboard picked…

It’s been a while, but I’m back with a non-photographic update. Specifically: I switched my downloadable projects from Gumroad to Itch because of Gumroad’s questionable NFT messaging. Everything on my Itch is pay-what-you-want. If you didn’t get to save a zine you got from my Gumroad before I deleted it, you can always get it…
I don’t have much to say this week. I’ve still been cooking dinner for my family and my sister’s girlfriend every few nights, trying to create objects in physical space, and doing video calls with friends and Casey. But overall I’ve been barely functional. I had a back flare on Friday that I’m only now…
This was an un-exciting week except for yesterday, when I went to Mahoney’s with my sister Isi and her girlfriend Sym, who are both living with us, to get plants for the vegetable garden.
