Art, Photos, Music, some thoughts…
I used the mats from these 8 x 8 frames I bought for my coffee filter flowers and covered them with the remaining filter scraps. I had a few mirror shards left too and threw them in a few of these. Trying to turn something unwanted into a little less useless. I’m hesitant to start anything else now. Lack of time with work and the pointlessness of this day to day thing is weighing down.
Desperation to understand and the loss of hope is at the center of this album. Often there seems to be just inaction and unwillingness to risk a change when it comes to fixing problems in this world on top of very little will to fix what we can within ourselves (if we dare to see a problem at all). There may never be enough devastation or despair to move things along, but I hope to be wrong. I hope there’s an end one day that makes the difference.

This painting is small, 6in x 4in I think. Not sure I even have it anymore, but I think I understand what I was trying to say now when it was made. It is painful watching efforts come to nothing again and again. Things go wrong, then keep going wrong whether one can handle it or not. I hate it here most of the time, for real.
More flowers I folded out of unused coffee filters.
“Her killing rage no one escapes.” I’ve got a little story in my head about this piece. I image this character towering over the world, breathing out flames to engulf all of human creation. On good days, there is a clearing for new life to begin again. On other days, our world goes dark and stays quiet that way until the universe ends. The painting is an expression of rage I feel better for and understand myself better through the work of it. I also really enjoyed another moment to use my neon pink…lol
The rest of the coffee filter flowers I completed a few weeks ago.
A page from the sketch book with two drawings I’m hoping to paint within the next few months.
My mother bought me this skull piece for birthday back in October. Not sure what it’s made of but it’s heavy and took the paint well. I had no ideas beyond wanting a bold color for this spot on top of my piano. Finished it with a gloss. I think it turned out cute.
Another round of coffee filter flowers I’ve put together over the past few months.

Painted on a piece of plywood for outdoor art in the backyard. It’s an image to express the weight of love / our reasons to keep living.
