Finally, I’m printing the final band member, tentatively titled “Nine Inch Tails.” I’ve only printed a couple of proofs so far, but come by @mainframearts tonight for First Friday to see how the trio looks together! Each band member will be available in orange, blue, and purple background. #linocut

“What’s Cookin’, Good Lookin’?” 🔪🥕
This sharp-toothed chef is sizing up the ingredients…and I think we know what’s on the menu🐊 Snag a print online, visit me at @mainframearts First Friday on April 4, or find me on the road as my festival season kicks off soon!

A tiny nighttime piece to round out my latest batch of quilling landscapes ✨

I love when I add birds to my quilling pieces because then I get to say “put a bird on it” a thousand times in my head 😆🪿#quilling

And just like that*, a dark forest has emerged 😍
*It actually took a bazillion hours to get to this point 😅😅 I had imagined this piece taking half the time it has, but the details are worth it. #quilling #paperart
Thank you!!

Finally, a website update! "Dino Soar," "Claws N' Roses," and "Gorillas Against the Machine" are all available to purchase online now!
I'm hoping to round out the band later this week and begin printing the otter playing the keyboard, tentatively titled "Nine Inch Tails."

Monday night/Tuesday morning progress report on a new quilling project. This one is going in a very vibrant direction 😍

Dinner’s almost ready… just missing one key ingredient. 🐊🔪 Care to guess?
🤣 This is probably my favorite carving I’ve done in awhile. I hope it prints well!! #linocut
A chef with some serious ‘tude

Thumper doesn’t have the most discerning eye for details, but he approves of the final band member. #linocut

A little late-night printing to sort out how to give my band members some POP! I’m moving at a snails pace, but I’m alllllmooossst ready to start printing their editions. Just need that third member to show up 😅
And a triceratops progress report. Just cuz I love her so much. #printmaking #linocut
Oh Lawd, She Comin!
….I’ve said this to myself probably a hundred times today while working on my ballon-powered flying triceratops 💚
First Friday is going on tonight from 5-8 at @mainframearts.bsky.social! See ya in studio #323!
Feeling good about my latest round of proofing on these two rockers! I’ll hopefully get started on the final member of the band soonish. I know who it will be, I just have to decide what instrument they will play 🦥🎶
