Health / Art / Class Updates

Howdy 🤠

Things in my life have been exceptionally difficult (more than I can mentally handle) and thus my capacity for functioning has been very low. Many of you have not heard from me in a while, and those that have know just how much time there has been in between moments of contact. My sincerest apologies for this. While I am fairly certain that nothing has completely fallen through the cracks, if you are confused or concerned about something that seems unaddressed please reach out asap. Responses to emails will not be instant, but I will reply to them.

Because of the major health decline I've been experiencing, I have had to put the emulsion class on hold for now. The movement required is not something I am currently capable of, especially not on a reoccurring basis. I officially have a surgery date (July 16th) and will be similarly unable to teach this specific type of class until I am 6 weeks healed. 

And now for an update regarding my art, similar to the one I shared in the instagram post for the hollow spaceman.

This is the first in a long series of art I have made and am in the process of making about what I am going through. Some of you know more, some of you only have what is written here, but I think my art will speak to the right people. I may share more as I see fit.

This hollow spaceman is one of the lighter pieces of art, but many of them are grotesque and sometimes hard to look at. There is a purpose behind each one, and each one is supposed to make you feel something very specific. I would love people to tell me what the piece made them feel, as I continue posting them. I will be posting warnings when it feels necessary, but I wanted you all to know that there is a significant shift in themes coming to my various social media accounts.

My art has always been dark and a bit weird but there is absolutely a significant difference in themes oncoming. This is a large part of the reason I have been hesitating to post. There is still light hearted art with prettier themes I intend on posting (both relevant to what I am going through and not), but I am currently getting out what I need to get out. The idea is that this will be a temporary shift, but there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding my situation that will greatly affect not only my art but who I am as a person moving forward.

I am considering putting together an art show / exhibit with the entire collection. Let me know if this interests you, or if you have or know of a location that would be willing to host.

This patch of the hollow spaceman will be available at my rad pride booth in late June.
