A little morning editioning to start my weekend :) #printmaking #woodcut #art #appalchia #wowiactuallygotsomethingdonetoday

I got some studio time in this morning AND cleaned up the house a little bit. All before 10 am. I don’t fire on all cylinders a lot right now but I’ll take it when I do

Claricia, 13th-century German illuminator who included a self- portrait in a South German psalter, c. 1200...(perhaps giving an indication of her character!) #womensart

I have been regretting my decision to delete my content from IG lately because I miss having that record of the past decade of work somewhere for people to see

Two wood blocks of a fist holding a cloth with one saying “which side are you on?” With money signs in the hills in the background

I think I want to add spoons to the second layer with the money signs #woodcut #printmaking #eattherich #redneck #appalchia

I haven’t felt like sharing lately, I’m just angry or numb all the time. I feel like I am surrounded by idiots who all just live in their own bubble while the country falls.

I want to make more work about the time we’re in, or protest posters for my friends. But when I get to my studio all I can bring myself to make is more landscapes. It’s hard to process the time we’re in and figure out how to speak to it.

They’re so disorienting. I got one at work yesterday and there’s nothing to do but wait it out, but I have found that an rx called sumatriptan works wonders for quelling them. It’s taken as soon as I notice them coming, and it usually makes it go away much faster and with less pain.

Oof! That’s a long time to suffer.

I’ve found that a medication called sumatriptan really helps shut down the auras within 10-15 min. I follow up with a headache powder with caffeine which sometimes helps the pain. Then I just sleep as much as possible and deal with the hangover the next day

I’ll never not be impressed by my ability to sleep for 14+ hours after a migraine 😣 who else gets the auras with yours? What even helps?

I grow my own food on my own “wellness farm” and guess what? I still can’t focus on writing a sentence if someone else is talking

The image shows a horse-drawn cart with people in it following a meadow in a meadow. In the background you can see the meadow extending along with the path, both ending in a forest and, at the far end of the background, there are some small mountains. In the middle of the picture, there’s a sign with the word Artshare.

Just realized that I gained over 500 followers, so to celebrate I’ve decided to host a little #artshare!!!

Plasterwork of a skeleton blowing bubbles set against a pale blue wall.

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.

Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

Someone policed my tone on a comment I made last week 😒

Carving a little wooden cloud #woodcut #printmaking #asmr #artprocess #woodcarving

A partially carved woodcut in dark brown wood of a land space with hills, river, rocks, and clouds

Progress on today’s block #landscape #woodcut #printmaking

Carved dark brown woodblock with hills and clouds

I think I found a bunch of scraps of solid walnut planks. I wasn’t sure about how it would carve at first but if I watch the grain I can get some great marks #printmaking #woodblock #woodcut #clouds

Do any #mural artists know anything about using acid to etch a sidewalk to prep it for paint?
