💫SLAPS💫

Had fun making these during a recent art night, doodling and chatting with one of my oldest friends. Realizing a lot lately how much socializing is important for creating to me (or even just simple body doubling).

1 of 3 postcards for Brassworks Gallery‘s 3rd annual Postcard Show 12/13/25-1/3/2026 in Portland, OR 😀 paint used was Culture Hustle‘s Black 4.0; a challenge on such a small surface, but I wanted to add that super pigmented depth.

Remembering to get actual pictures with my art this time 😮‍💨 thank you to Fredda for obliging me!

10 bids later, “Get the Balance Right” is off to a new home, with $560 going towards Get to Zero Illinois! The show was a blast - so much fantastic work, and lovely folks.
