This one lives in a nature reserve, but there's some shaggy ass lil birch over on the Detroit riverfront now that could use some attention if any Detroit area Indigenous fam need birch bark
I have a ton, but this specific sculpture by Gerhard Demetz will not leave me alone since I've seen it, many years ago now And just today it dawned on me that the child is not just bound, it's bound in caution tape
I finished altering this portrait of myself today No Ai No I probably could not duplicate it if I tried. The way I work now is lazy AF and doesn't allow for a lot of exact duplication anymore The same skills can usually get me close and that's how I make a series
Just because this is pinned here's a photo of me being a goofball For the narrative
I'm dying from the transition from Eno to Cibo Like what unhinged insanity that is. that's not my problem though, that's the best part honestly It's reminiscent of being forced into the world after being home with family
This one is Maple and Bison and was made at a workshop I helped facilitate last month, and get to play it today with some of the other drums made the same day
In 3 months I went from not at all musically inclined, to playing with a group on the riverfront in a major city, and able to successfully make hand drums myself
If you're a last minute kind of "whore" feel free to use these to advertise your events, services, etc or hang on to them for next year. I only really care about receiving credit as the artist, if you are a grassroots organization 🫶 #sexwork #ISWD26 #freegraphics #illustration #design
Happy #InternationalSexWorkersDay to all who have traded their body, sexual, or kink experiences to get where you need to be in this crapitalist life
Sunset on Belle Isle I try to never take for granted that I get to spend time here, almost any day The dead wood sunset isn't for everyone, but I love every corner of this place except the fkn golf course.
Hanging out under some trees like I belong there Table umbrella top in the bottom right corner after a bit, for scale
If I was healthy or even just safely housed, I could probably not post in this state, but various factors mean I often also can't not post Fun. Fun way to be going through this part of my life. #behavioralhealth #earlyinternetPTSD #PTSDrecovery #artistlife #menopauseinpoverty
You are already born into and participate in an active and ongoing genocide that you don't even realize you already participate in daily
I have no idea what I've posted where anymore, my entire Internet brain is built for a wildly different internet And my ability to maintain anything at all resembling a life was fuxxored with by the system Put on a chill tune w me and zone out for 1 whole min If you can. Happy Sunday
Gonna make a beater next I think I even have an antler and some automotive leather scraps somewhere
Should I tell the trees your love was a lie, so they know not to trust you either?
This hat lol If you see this weirdo around some Detroit nightlife, it's me
Sunset in November in Michigan straight out of camera #sooc Woods across from a higher learning institution
