Throw some #art or #photography into the #junkdrawer conversation. Show us your junk drawer. Mine was jammed so I tugged on it a bit too hard and it came all the way out. There’s a dirty joke in that sentence somewhere 😅

t: An open junk drawer overflowing with a mix of household, craft, and workshop supplies. Visible items include rollof green tape, a yellow box of Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers, paintbrushes, a hammer, plastic boxes of nails, zip ties, ribbon spools, resealable plastic bags, packets of hardware, and assorted fasteners, a screen for a French press, some flower food packets left over from bouquets of long lost boyfriends, and some batteries you can’t see all loosely piled together in a well-used, cluttered drawer.

Sometimes when I’m workshopping ideas to paint or print I’ll make a digital #collage. Here’s one from last semester. She’s #big and #beautiful; a reminder that size does not determine one’s #beauty or value. #BlueSkyArtShow

A stylized digital collage in monochromatic shades of pink depicts a confident plus-size woman wearing oversized sunglasses, a black bikini-style top, and a jeweled tiara beneath an elaborate headdress of fruit and flowers. She poses with her arms behind her head against a pink-and-white zebra-striped background. Measuring tapes wind around her hair and shoulders, while her lower body seamlessly transforms into a classic glass Coca-Cola bottle tied with a large pink bow, evoking themes of consumer culture, beauty standards, branding, and objectification. A large black zipper runs vertically along the right edge beside decorative text that reads: “I wish to cry. Yet, I laugh, and my lipstick leaves a red stain like a bloody crescent moon on top of the beer can.” -Sylvia Plath

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything of my own. Life has been busy AF but here’s your reminder to take joys in the small things. The chickies are just over a year old now and one of them seems to have some pretty dog-like traits but we lover her just the same. #chickens #backyardchickens

Repost with 5 to 9 items within reach. #RandomFlatLay

A flat lay of everyday personal items arranged on a black leather surface, likely a car armrest. Items include two small pastel binder clips with smiling faces (pink and green), a clear push pin, a Starbucks-branded button, a small bottle of Purell hand sanitizer, a tube of Daisy by Marc Jacobs luminous body lotion, a TrèStiQue lip crayon in a pink shade, a colorful BIC lighter decorated with cupcakes, and a sealed nicotine transdermal patch (21 mg, Step One). The objects are neatly spaced in a grid-like layout.

Quite a few #horizontal lines in my second #lithograph here. I can’t wait till next semester when I can spend the whole time in the #lithography studio. I’ve e fallen in love with a new medium. And it makes for good #BluSkyArtShow posts.

Black-and-white lithograph showing the torso of a woman wearing a corset and a metal-paneled chastity skirt with riveted seams. Two hands pull open the front of the corset like a zipper, revealing interlocking gears and mechanical parts inside her body instead of flesh. The bra above has a cow-print pattern, and a gingham pattern fills the background. A bouquet of flowers rises in the foreground toward the opening of the corset. The composition contrasts delicate flowers and domestic patterns with exposed machinery, creating a surreal commentary on the mechanical, objectified expectations placed on women.

Annnd, we have prints! #lithography #lithograph #printmaking #prints Has enough time to make six, only four came out good but that means I can add color to the two bad ones 🤩 Better pic to come.

A row of freshly printed black-and-white lithographs lies across a studio table, photographed at a low angle so the prints recede into the distance. The foreground print shows a detailed illustration of a woman wearing a corset and a metal-paneled chastity skirt. The corset opens to reveal mechanical gears, and the bra has a cow-pattern design. Large flowers are held up toward her from the lower edge of the image, as if being offered by unseen hands. Behind her, a gingham pattern fills the background, The lithographs are richly textured with crayon-like shading and fine line work, emphasizing the contrast between delicate flowers, rigid metal panels, and machine parts.

1st etch and second etch complete, though I forgot to get a pic of the latter. Printing on Thursday.

Drawing on a lithography stone created with crayon and autographic ink. The image shows the torso of a woman wearing a metal-paneled chastity skirt and a corset that she pulls open with both hands. Inside the corset, instead of a human body, intricate gears and mechanical parts fill the space where her chest would be. She wears a bra patterned like cowhide. In the foreground, flowers rise upward as if someone off-frame is offering them to her. A gingham pattern appears in the background. The woman’s skin is intentionally left mostly unrendered, while the mechanical and clothing details are highly defined. The piece critiques unrealistic expectations placed on women—particularly ideals promoted in “red pill” culture—where men expect a woman to be sexually available yet chaste, domestic and compliant, physically perfected, and emotionally mechanical, reducing her humanity to a set of functions and fantasies.

1st attempt at #lithography complete. I wish there was a self warming ball point pen for autographic ink but it was nice to get the feel of the medium. Can’t wait for number two. #printmaking #lithograph

Low-angle photograph of several black-and-white lithographs arranged on a large studio worktable. Each print depicts magnolia blossoms and leaves in front of a background of small, square tiles. The magnolias are rendered with detailed linework and soft tonal shading typical of lithography, with petals and buds standing out against the textured, grid-like tile pattern. The closest print is in sharp focus, showing crisp edges and subtle gradations of gray, while the other prints extend into the background and gradually blur. The white paper has slightly deckled edges, and the setting appears to be a printmaking studio with equipment and tables visible beyond the work surface.

Happy World Pangolin Day! Throw back to a time when the prompt was armadillo and I accidentally drew a pangolin 😅

Black-and-white pen illustration of a curled pangolin resting on the ground, its overlapping scales rendered in detailed crosshatching. Two small gnome-like figures interact with it—one sits on top holding a small sign that reads “Pangolin Rides,” while the other leans against the tail as if pushing. The pangolin’s face and one eye peek out from beneath its armored curl. The background is plain and lightly textured, emphasizing the intricate linework.

Ya'll are rockin' #FebruARTy today with all the #fun art and photos I say we keep it going; post as much fun as possible today. The skies are dark; we can add a bit of light to them. Thank you for the smiles and laughs. 💙🤩🥳 I had fun making this whistle sculpture from yarn the other day in class.

A photograph of a wooden outdoor hallway or porch wall with brown vertical siding. On the left are two stacked orange metal lockers. To the right is a fabric bulletin board holding several posted notices, including an emergency contact sign and colorful flyers. In front of the bulletin board, a red string sculpture made with pushpins forms the geometric outline of a whistle, appearing to float slightly away from the wall. Thin red strings connect the pins and extend downward toward a cut tree stump on the floor. Below the sculpture is a small table holding red string and a blue pair of scissors. To the right, a sturdy mid-century modern wooden chair with teal upholstery sits against the wall.

Timeline cleanse: A few years ago, before my chicken journey I drew a picture two chickens on a fence. Today, Arlene and Nadine became became those two chickens. It’s such a beautifully strange experience. I wish I had gotten my camera out in time to catch them in the exact same pose but oh well

Two images shown together. The first is a black-and-white ink drawing of two chickens perched side by side on a wooden rail, facing one another against a soft, cloudy gray background, drawn years before the artist owned chickens. The second is a color photograph taken years later, showing two real chickens in nearly the same pose on a wooden fence in front of leafy green shrubs. On the left is Arlene, a fluffy buff Orpington with golden feathers; on the right is Nadine, a molting Easter egger with patchy gray feathers. Together, the images reflect an unintentional but meaningful echo between imagined companionship and lived experience over time.
