But instead of crawling into bed I have to get ready to leave. Why does it always seem to happen like this?
Ryan for scale. Ryan is our baby grad student, we like him.
Now imagine it covered in wonderful things and all lit up. I’m pumped! I’m also glad I get to leave for [...]

Just in case, in my absence, you’ve forgotten how amazing I am:
I actually screwed it up pretty badly, the top was supposed to sit inside the bottom where that huge gap is, but when I set it up this way after realizing I had made a mistake, I was like “Oh. My god. Not changing [...]

it’s what i like to call “delightfully lopsided”….. meaning it’s pretty much straight (for me) but don’t look too close because i’m a shitty welder and had to practice on this while i made it. i still have to make the base and decide on the arms, so this is about a third of the [...]

1. I threw a lot of it out when I blitzed my studio, a lot of it was not worth saving
2. I finalized some sketches for my next piece, and I need multiples and lots of small plastics, most of which I saved, but:
3. Variety is the spice of life
4. I do what I want [...]

Because I don’t know how to weld yet and I’m getting antsy.
And I got a haircut. From Alice, who has a tattoo of Crisco on her leg (so I trust her). It might be borderline mullet, I haven’t decided. I do enjoy being able to see again, though. She thinned out the layers in [...]
