Harpyteeth

What I've been making lately. Sculpture has felt a lot more playful for me these days.

Even so, it looks really confident and organic, like you didn't noodle around too much 😄

This is beautiful! Those crisp textures in the water are so decisive and wow!

I've been comparing every hard thing I do to Physical Asia and it really puts things into perspective – wrestling an impossible couch cushion cover onto a cushion?! Well at least I'm not pushing a 2.2 tonne cart through the sand.

Wow this is incredible!

You forget your phone in the house (yet again) and are about to go get it when your partner discovers it in her own pocket. You put it away only to pull it out seconds later and exclaim "oh here's my phone!" as if the last two steps didn't just occur.

Watched Frankenstein and, as everyone said, it was fantastic. I keep thinking about the scene where Victor is having his little existential crisis yet is being objectified by the camera. It's like a nod to all the times women characters in films made by straight men have breakdowns sexily 😆

My laptop is too old to update anymore, and everything I read about *new things* is frightening. I'll use my unsupported Chrome browser, which is the only browser left that I can use, until the bitter end. Maybe I'll just stop using a computer after this.

Chef and my Fridge on Netflix has been very pleasant and fun. It's basically a bunch of Korean chefs cooking as fast as humanly possible while being roasted by the hosts in a cute way. Egos get demolished, chefs learn to take themselves less seriously, amazing food gets cooked and eaten.

But someone is happy that I'm back in Vancouver. Rather than being extra sweet, she's been extra bossy and thowing tantrums 😆

View from my hotel downtown that captures the pink and blue clouds at sunset over Mont Royal and an urban cityscape.

Another angle of my view from the hotel. The sun sits behind a glass condo building, illuminating the street to the left and the hazy sky to the right. The reflection of the hotel and blue sky in the sunlight can be seen on the glass condo front.

Le Plateau Neighborhood buildings with a bright red modern Art sculpture in the foreground. The trees have lost their leaves but there are some green bushes. The buildings have staircases up to their front doors, and each has a unique design window and various colors - reds, Browns, black and grey - on their frontage.

The Redpath museum interior, perhaps in the Victorian style, with sunlight shining onto the hardwood floors in patterns cast from the decorative openings in the handrails.

Montreal, you are lovely!

That would be very surreal!

Glad you're doing well! Can't wait to hear all about it!

And I said, "yeah it is! Now imagine a big painting that takes a month or more, and it's ugly for at least half of it. And sometimes it never looks good." And she looked at me in fear, like she couldn't even begin to imagine.

I feel so so validated 😆

My partner is really getting into art now that she's tried oil pastels. After struggling through a painting that ended up turning out well, she commented how difficult art is; that a piece will be ugly until suddenly it's not, and somehow you have to keep going.

She's an earthquake engineering!

What kind of boring lives are these people living that they've never heard of a harpy 🤯

We'll it's definitely paying off 👏🏼 and it's very inspiring!

The brushwork is incredible! Love all the textural highlights and looseness!!

Yeah the flight attendants just ignored her. I did have a bus driver yell at a man playing his phone extremely loud on the bus recently and everyone was very relieved.

I was on a flight yesterday and the woman sitting a few seats across from me was doing the same thing. It boggles my mind.

Painting on the fanciest watercolor paper, which I haven't done in about 8 years, and I had all but forgotten the cat pee smell when it gets wet.

What has your dad been smoking in the backyard lately 😆

I didn't know spiders were (in)capable of this! I guess we're all feeling it this year.

That look idyllic!

My dog got 2 dinners last night because she feigned starvation when I came home and my girlfriend had already gone out.

I should have known better, but my mind always jumps to the worst case scenario - like what if she didn't eat anything and a mysterious deadly illness takes her because of it.

I have returned home after a trip to Europe! Happy to be back in civilization (ie I can use my own bidet).

Seriously, having a bidet has ruined travelling for me now, how do you function without one?!!

Beautiful! Love the glaze gradient + relief details.

Not me crying on the bus to Ghent because a chatty older man is sharing his lovely coming out story with his seat mate and I'm eavesdropping 🥹

What's happening? 👀👀

Oh no I didn't know they did these styles 😱
