Current state of the Poseidon piece. I’m hanging it up to take a step back and look at the balance of fishies. Maybe I need to add a squid?

Making progress on Great Poseidon’s Beard! The application for the beard show deadline is Sunday, so I hope to finish it pretty soon!

Some of my favorite photos from my shoot with Rakataka.

I used to live in a house with a big open sun room off the kitchen. It had the best light all day long and I took some of my favorite photos in that room. This is one of them, with a model I never saw again.

I’m working on a piece for a beard themed art show. It’s an all felt portrait of Poseidon with sea life frolicking in his extra long beard. I think when is done it will be my largest textile work to date.

I couldn’t sleep Friday night, so in honor of Free Comic Book Day I decided to embroider a character from the first graphic novels I ever read. I finished him Sunday at Stitch Lab during an embroidery lounge session.
