I haven't had time to work on much art lately because I've been so immersed in my education program. Silver lining: I can already tell these new experiences are already shaping my art. #gradschool #collage #hypercollage #digitalcollage #abstract #abstraction #abstractart #collage #photoshopcollage #abstractcollage #contemporarycollage #color #mood #shadows #overlap

You know photography has changed you when you consider yourself lucky to get the chance to drive through a sandstorm. (at Palm Springs, California)

Solid branding.

CA dept of public health: continuing to lose the battle of convincing people that the gov't doesn't hate design. This is part of an info pamphlet they're still giving out in 2016.

Toyota just notified me of the small but statistically significant potential for my car to send burning hot shards of metal into my face. Their proposed solution: do not let passengers ride in the front seat until they have a more permanent fix. Confidence inspiring recall notices. 😑

current national mood.

Testing out lesson plans for my students, and this one is definitely a winner. Corn starch, acrylic, water, and a toothpick. Could not be simpler.

Having my students experiment with hybrid processes. I want them to pull from everything and everywhere, using more tools. this one: Ink painting > digital photograph + Snapchat screenshot, mixed in PicCollage, blended with Mextures, edited with Instagram. Mobile collage is a weird world.

Took a digital break with my students today and it felt pretty nice. (at Fusion Academy Miracle Mile)

At 6Gb, the file for this nearly broke my computer.

When I try to create impulsively, more often than not I end up with apocalyptic scenes. I've never had a good answer for why that is. Detail view from a work in progress.

Having trouble knowing when to stop with this work in progress. Have clearly abandoned attempts at minimalism here.

Of all the places I've lived, I find myself missing the PNW the most.

I've been working in abstraction for a while, so I tried to turn back to creating real spaces for a bit. Things got dark. Detail view from the 6 foot horizontal panel.

Maximal made to look minimal. So hard to break habits.
