2nd night of sculpting this little deer mask. It's going to be used in a music video being filmed later this month--for a Portland band but not saying who yet! Read more at ko-fi.com/i/IX8X21CWGUA

Current puppet build: Giant Green Man. 🍀🌳🌱🌲🌿 Hoping to have him completed in time for May Day. His head is 3 feet tall x 2 feet wide, and all the clay was sculpted over a reusable corrugated plastic (corplast) core. Next comes paper mache!

Patreon just force-switched my creator account to using the Apple purchase system, adding an extra 30% fee to all new supporter transactions, collected by the App store. This change does not support creators, and I am now looking for other ways for folks to support my work as an artist.

Some of the Wildland Roots crew with our paper and willow lanterns during the Portland Winter Light Festival lantern parade last Saturday. Amazing turn out, even with the rain! @pdxwlf.bsky.social #lanternparade #lanternprocession Photo by Jenna Roberts of #RiskOfChange

The updated 2025 Portland All Souls River Procession website is up and running! www.pdxallsouls.org . Could still use a little image optimization, but it is functional.

Whew! It was a busy week for Monsters. Snow and ice kept most of the humans away from the secret monster lair during pdxwlf.com , but the monsters are looking forward to their next outing at the portlandmardigras.com parade: 7pm March 4th down N Mississippi Ave--that's 2 weeks from this Tuesday!

Stoked to finally see the Glitterfox footage OPB.org filmed last September at Green Anchors--just a few yards from the Wildland Roots workshop! Listening to them play live while I was building some of the puppets for All Souls was a real treat youtu.be/Jd1nu1jldH0?...
