“The Treatment” by Mo Hayder is heart-thumping unlike anything I’ve read in years. Whoa. It’s horrifying. Why do I do this to myself?! So good! Excellent narrator too. #BookSky #BlueSkyBooks #bookclub #MoHayder #ThrillerBooks #Audiobook

John Berger’s book “Ways of Seeing” is still one of my favorite art book reads. Every artist should read this tiny handbook as a diving board to jump off of into the waters of creativity. Here it is for free: www.ways-of-seeing.com #art #BookSky #BlueSkyBooks #BookClub

Sights from the studio today. Today was the first day I’ve casted in about 6 years. It was as terrifying as it was exciting working with silicone. I’ll finish Monday. 💗 So many bones to go! 💀🦴 #art #Sculpture #casting #Bones #Wip

“Rose House” by @byzantienne.bsky.social is a strange & wonderful little gem of speculative fiction where a house is alive - kind of- through AI. It’s a quick & delightful read - perfect timing for those currently loving Black Mirror. #Audiobook #BookSky #BookClub #ArkadyMartine #BlueSkyBooks

“The Peacock & the Sparrow” by I.S. Berry is about the final tour of duty of a spy in Bahrain during the Arab Spring. Realistic- based on author’s ex-CIA days. Wordy & very descriptive. Seedy parts remind me of being an expat in Thailand. #BookSky #Audiobooks #BookClub #BlueSkyBooks

The mural is getting there. Tonight was a lot of cleanup. 🥺 I’ll never understand the need to tag or sign artwork in progress. It’s already there for public participation. 😵‍💫

I devoured Allen Esken’s “The Life We Bury” in one day. Excellent thriller full of twists and turns. Sometimes you just gotta get ‘er done yourself. And, by “‘er” I mean solving a 30 year old murder. #Audiobook #BlueSkyBooks #BookSky #BookClub

It was such a pleasure to judge the Houston Art Society Show, pre-K through professional adult. They didn’t make my job easy. #art

Today was my first day as an artist visiting the gross anatomy lab. It was pretty gross and there was a lot of anatomy. I can’t wait to go back!

Houston folks - run to see Memoriam @mainstreettheater Brilliant: a bit Black Mirror & very moving. Actors are A++. Today’s “talk back” w/a Holocaust survivor had me in tears. Here’s her w/two of the actors: @daingeist.bsky.social & Chesley Ann Santoro. mainstreettheater.com/artist-bios-...

I love “People of the Book” by #GeraldineBrooks so much I read it twice. It’s a journey of an illuminated manuscript through centuries of exile and war being restored. Delicately written and human. We’re so beautifully flawed throughout time it hurts. #BookSky #Audiobook #BookClub #ReadBooks

Changing the name because I think I’ll do 4 in a series. Inspired by @anatomicalcat.bsky.social ‘s lecture in ossuaries. She’s a great speaker who sparked my imagination. “Tree Of Life - Spring” Acrylic on canvas 40” x 30” #art #Painting #TreeOfLife #Kabbalah #Golem #Mystical #Mysticism

I recently saw @emmadonoghue.bsky.social give a lecture and decided I need to devour all of her books - even some of them a second time. “The Room” - Oof. The movie is great, but doesn’t do the book justice. It’s masterful. The audiobook is brilliant! #BookSky #Audiobook #BookClub #MustRead

I saw this exhibit in #Berlin and HIGHLY recommend going if you are anywhere near the @kimbellartmuseum.bsky.social It’s in my top 5 exhibitions ever. It’s important and timely. It sticks with you long after you leave. kimbellart.org/modern-art-p... #Art #BlueSkyArt #Painting #ArtShow #Texas

The Chain by #AdrianMcKinty is deranged and wonderful. It started at 100 mph out of the gate and in a rare occurrence- this book never slowed down. I hope it’s being made into a movie. 4.5⭐️ Any recs on fast-paced, thought-provoking thrillers? #BookSky #BlueSkyBooks #Audibook #BookClub

A stranger walks up and tells you when and how you will die. How do you proceed with life? “Here One Moment” by Liane Moriarty is not for the superstitious or paranoid. But, it is a rich tapestry of stories full of a great cast of characters. #BookSky #BlueSkyBooks #AudioBooks #Fiction

Detail of this very confusing painting I’ve gotten myself into. Sometimes I think I make really complicated compositions just so I can feel in control of solving something absolutely chaotic to completion when everything feels out of control. <sigh> Anyone else? #art #wip #painting #panic
