2009-08-13T01:37:00.002-04:00

making friends

2009-03-09T15:51:00.003-04:00

katie stabile had to photograph me for a class. so i made things and played with them and she took photos of it. and everyone agreed that it was the best time they'd ever had, especially the pteranodon, who's been stressed lately by mass extinction events.

book pages

2008-11-20T15:28:00.003-05:00

i make little books and fill them with drawings.

the paper in this book was actually all coffeestained and pretty but the scanner didn't pick it up much. oh well. the image uploader also kept reversing the order i was uploading them in, so the pages appear in reverse order here from how they do in the book.

fenrisulfr final

2008-09-14T15:08:00.002-04:00

the painted version of my earlier study. it's fenrir/fenrisulfr, the giant wolf from norse mythology who will devour odin at the end of the world. his jaws are supposed to reach from the ground to the sky when opened.

acrylic and gesso on paper bag. sorry about the crappy photo.

Query: How to contrive not to waste one's time? Answer: By being fully aware of it all the while. Ways in which this can be done: By spending one's days on an uneasy chair in a dentist's waiting room; by remaining on one's balcony all a Sunday afternoon; by travelling by the longest and least-convenient train routes, and of course standing all the way; by queueing at the box-office of theatres and then not booking a seat.
