How did I never notice this giant pencil in downtown Denver?

Gertrude Abercrombie once wrote, “Art has to be real crazy, real personal and real real, or it is nowhere.” Unjustly marginalized since her death in 1977, her darkly surreal work will hopefully be rediscovered by in a retrospective at the Carnegie Museum of Art. hyperallergic.com/991689/gertr...

Im testing out how I want Besties mounted to the wall and I like how it looks! I'm using magnets on steel spacers so it floats an inch or so away from the wall. #printmaking #collagraph #collage

Two of my pieces will be in the Reconnect show for alumni of MSU Denver this summer at the Center for Visual Art

In these troubled times I don’t have the bandwidth, it seems, to work on any art. So I’m embroidering eyeballs and sticking them on a jacket. Eventually I will have a jacket covered with eyeballs. Why? Don’t ask questions. The world is crazy. Wear an eyeball jacket.

Another nice show at Downtown Aurora Visual Art! Thanks for including me in the show, I enjoyed talking about my piece. #printmaking #coloradoartist

I have a piece in this show at DAVA, and I’ll be talking about it. Come see! #printmaking #woodblockprint #coloradoartist

Saw this show in October at the Mori in Tokyo. It was amazing. I don’t generally buy catalogs but I bought this one. #louisebourgeois

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

If the oligarchs want to take us back to a neo-1980s gilded age, can we at LEAST get some cool new art and music movements out of it? If all we’re going to get is AI music and NFTs, what even is the point.
