Mundane as it may be to some, art handling will forever hold my fascination. I take the methods of displaying and transporting work SO seriously 😤🤘😅
Shown here are the steps I took to package this gallery edition of my Eldorado painting for shipping to a new home. (Supporting glass, first cardboard shell with corner bumpers, bubble immersion, second cardboard shell [with added cushioning within])
A big especial shoutout of thanks to everyone who’s bought a print or art from me, and folks who’ve sent me words of encouragement within the last few months. Can’t even begin to say how much your support means to me, truly!
If you want more art or limited number of creative things shipped from me to you, I’ve still got plenty of items on my Ko-fi, here:

Sending out some live art to a new home today. Can’t even begin to explain what experiencing the support for what I do does for me and my headspace. Like, of COURSE as artists we need to be real with the notion that not everyone’s going to like the art that we make, and that’s okay!! But boy, when folks actively show interest and start purchasing work, that catches me off guard in the best of ways, no matter how little or how frequently it happens. ✍️🥲 so much gratitude.
Anyway, go check out the link below to see what else I got for sale, should you be so inclined 😉.
Take care and be kind out there y’all.
