Gonna be an interesting Monday.

Kendrick Lamars' concert was amazing! I hear there was a football game that he allowed to happen, too? I don't know. He said "Turn the TV off" so I did. So many messages. I think we all needed a refreshing energy. Keep fighting.

We also finally got around to getting another one finished up for our son. A slightly late Christmas gift. He plays #GenshinImpact and his favorite character is #Furina so he asked me to #woodburn her and my wife to paint it.

Just finished up this commission for someone who worked on the Blackhawk and Comanche helicopters during his service time with the Army! I'm extremely proud of this piece, it took me close to 50 hours to complete and nearly every technique that I know how to do. Customer was extremely happy with it

I have been away for a while but I'm here. The car is back running. Turns out, that issue was a cracked battery terminal so it was an easy fix. The other 67,000,564,332 problems? Notsomuch lol. I'm just trying to keep it going as long as possible while I get something figured out.

I wanted to update that I did manage to get the car back running, the battery terminal was split completely through. I replaced both of them. The negative cable is super tight, zero slack. I'll probably need to replace it down the line. Just gotta keep it going for now & oil in it. That leak is bad!

February 22nd! If you're in the Huntsville, AL area, come on out and support local small businesses and artists at our monthly artist pop-up market!

Well it finally happened, the car died yesterday. I don't know what we're going to do. Things just keep getting worse. We need help, please. #mutualaid gofund.me/bbebc0ec

Oh how shocking 😐 not really www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

I'm so overwhelmed. There's so much going on and so few people who I trust. I've been trying and trying, begging and asking for help for months because I knew that this time would come and I would need to be ready to get my family on the move and... I just. I'm trying not to break.

Angles matter.

Put about 4 or 5 hours in to this (I think?) yesterday! Got it lined, got distracted, got the stippling done, and got distracted again. I got the last bit of etching done, as well (not shown). This will cover every technique that I know how to do in one piece. I'm glad it's going to a veteran.

"[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. IS THAT A FUCKING CONFESSION??? h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

New commission underway for a retired Army vet! I'm excited! Never burned helicopters before. Gives me something to do tomorrow since nothing is going to be on TV. I'll be looking for a good MLK Jr documentary to watch.

Nothing about this California disaster is fair. Many people will never recover. It's heartbreaking. Let's all try to do what we can.

If you are, for ANY REASON, finding joy or pointing the fingers at the victims of the fires that are raging in CA, you're an asshole. Millions of people are losing everything, wildlife is being devastated, and you want to cheer? Fuck you.

Just finished up this one! Gonna be a little bit before I get another one posted. Nothing prepped up to burn for now. #phoenix #woodburning

Just finished up this one a couple of nights ago? Cthulhu! I wanted this one to look like it was taken out of an antique book and seared into the wood so I used a different technique to give it texture to the background. Hope you like it!

Ain't no day like a snow day!

Out of what? 100?😅

Got this Whisper piece from the talented @gigidutreix.bsky.social the other day. Really awesome work and I am stoked to know own it 😄🐺

Dear World, We’re sorry. Sincerely, Sane, Decent Americans

Aiight BOOM. 👏🏾👏🏾 My goal is to fill this pack with working Black artists who post regularly and are community active! Please lmk if you'd like to be added! #art #blackartist #blacksky #illustration #comicart #gameart #kidlit #conceptart

Finished up with this little Beast Gohan board. Done with watercolor paints, watercolor pencils and colored pencils.

Not wrong. He won't be missed.

I love my wife. I absolutely adore her. I can't imagine my life without her. I spend every day, knowing how truly lucky I am to have her by my side. She's my world.

Friendly reminder as we enter the era of the clowns

Oh yeah, second box was completed, too. I forgot to post it! 😅 It's been a busy few days.

I don't want massive wealth to the point of Bezos or Musk or any of those assholes. All I want is to know that if I need to replace my toaster, it's not a crisis. I don't have to adjust my budget to get a fucking oil change. I can get the dental care I and my wife desperately need. My wife can get

This.

I created a piece this year that I never would have thought I'd have been able to. Thirty five hours of burning by hand, twelve hours of prep, and four hours of finishing went into this piece. Every time I see it, I'm stunned. It's still available and can be shipped anywhere in the US. $350 +S&H

Working on this new box, the artwork was done by my 18 year old. It's almost done! #woodburning #fyp #pyrography

I don't know where to begin. Do I talk about what an amazing time my family had yesterday, even though there was barely anything under the tree? How everyone came away, with smiles on their faces, and bellies full of amazing food? Do I speak about how we took in to our home, someone whose own 👇
