updates!
okay so i was getting sick of my site looking the same for uhhhh 3 years so i am now redoing it. hopefully the new layout and organizational system makes sense to you because it makes sense to me and i’m not redoing it again, at least not for a while, because i am the kind of person who does not enjoy redoing things. well, things of this nature at least. bear with me while i get all the moving parts in order! there are a lot of photos that i need to take- this is going to be the first time that i try to semi-professionally get all my paintings photographed in natural light and in good quality. the DSLR battery is charging as we speak.
layout aside, i also have had a Big Life Change recently: i got top surgery! woohoo! all my shirts fit better now!! it is also a major ass surgery so i’m going to be out of work for six weeks, which it turns out is a pretty long amount of time. luckily i’m not in pain at this point, two weeks post-, and the main source of discomfort is figuring out what in the good goddamn i want to do with my day. surprisingly it is hard to do shit when one cannot medically lift more than ten pounds or expend much effort with one’s arms. in lieu of doing those things i am making evil plans to do as much- i have a lino cut waiting in the wings, as well as the same zines that i probably talked about in my last post lying around. i’m also painting a lot! hoping to do a vernissage in april. stay tuned for news on that as i have it.
i’m also kind of sad to report that my zine fervour and fever has subsided quite a bit. this doesn’t mean that i’m not going to make more of them; i’m just having a moment with painting and am pouring myself into that right now. i will return to zines. i have a few of them like. completely written out and waiting to be typeset and illustrated, so like, i don’t really have an excuse NOT to get back to them. truthfully all i need is a bit of impetus a la an impending expozine to get my ass into gear. it doesn’t help that i’ve additionally been shying away quite a bit from digital art lately, having found my groove again with physical media. again, this is a temporary thing. if you’re severely missing my digital scribbles just give me a few months and i’ll be back.
anyway, that’s all for now. life’s fairly quiet for me while i convalesce, so i expect i’ll be checking in again in a few weeks with more updates and probably more projects. stay tuned!
