Up until this year I thought Inktober was stupid. Not sure why. But now that I’m 25 and my brain is developed Im not a complete asshole XD. So this year I decided to try it for myself!!! I went on the Inktober website and thought the prompts were so lame.

SF ART BOOK FAIR RECAP
SF Art Book Fair Recap! Haul + Vibe
Last week James + I went to San Francisco and we were lucky enough to catch the tail end of their Art Book Fair!!! It was the biggest art book fair I’ve ever seen. There were at least 5,000 people there and we got there Sunday afternoon.
The vendors were all incredibly innovative. After seeing what they have on display I def understand why I was rejected from this fair. I have a long way to go, and it seems like I just have so much more work I have to make, and so much work to put into realizing my artistic vision. I know I will get there, but it will take so much more work and time. I am a baby, but I was there to learn and soak it all up.

Courtney Sennish
We splurged and purchased this gorgeous print by Courtney Sennish, a printmaker local to Oakland, CA. So cool because we both follow her on instagram so it was cool to see her stuff IRL. SF was dope af!! We will be back, and if youre an artist looking to see some cool shit, we highly recommend the SF ART BOOK FAIR
:3 MEOW WOLF TRASHION SHOW RECAP
MEOW WOLFS TRASHION SHOW - Piece display 2003 Garage Sale
7/11/2024 James Daniels (AKA CLIFFSIDE FLOWERS) and I participated in Meow Wolf Grapevine's Anniversary Show that was an amalgamation of performances, fashion, drag, and games, that came together to form a “Trashion Show”. 
Our piece Titled "2003 Garage Sale" was created by collecting donated old electronic waste. This included everything from broken Xboxes, cell phones, wires, record players, you name it. Those pieces were one by one deconstructed to extract motherboards, chips, fans, and all the cool shiny bits that are underneath the typical beige and boring shell. The motherboards and chips were strung together, similarly to how chain mail is, in order to form an armored vest. Cell phones were linked into a chain with charms, the phones themselves acting as if they were jewels, despite their clunky nature. Old platform heels from high school became a collage surface for these green tech chips to be bolted into. I felt like the headless horseman, although instead of a pumpkin for a head, I had a 2003 gaming TV. We attached an N64 controller to give the illusion that I could be played.
I walked to a sound montage of snip its of our favorite old game cube games, such as Luigi’s Mansion that was a composition by m3 + my fwend Ava Blankmeyer. I walked onto the stage with the sound of of Luigi slipping with a “WOAH” and losing all his coins. I then turned on my TV that powered LEDS that made my eye SHINE.
The experience was colorful, overthetop, and carefree. Which is what I love about MEOW WOLF. All the other designers and modeled were insanely nice + cool. We are lucky we got to do this project together as romantic + creative partners!! Lets keep going. We even got a feature in The Dallas Observer which you can observe HERE

Where did the time go? Here we are…
Yesterday I spent my whole day alone in my home working on art. The thing I’ve always wanted. But I was sad and lonely all day. What is wrong with me? When will I find the circumstance that is perfect for me? And why will I never be satiated? I am a spoiled brat. No matter what I get I will always want more and something will always be missing. Is that the curse of all artists?

hey bladee if ur reading this, this goes really hard. it reminds me of being 19 or 20 cuz thats how old i was when i listened to working on dying everyday. i really like the idea that i have grown up with you. Youre 30 im 25. in a lot of ways its kind of felt like youve been guiding me through challenges in my life. since i was a teenager its just like youve been there for me when i needed you. there were so many hard things you got me through, especially in collage. Nics drug addiction, Cecelia’s murder, Cole’s drug overdose. There were times when i felt so chaotic and painfully lonely. Because of all the turmoil, i felt like i couldnt trust any one around me, like everyone was ill intentioned. At the time, everyone was so selfish. But you were like my gaurdian angel. Somehow it feels like everytime you have come out with a new album to evolve your sound, i have increased a level and have evolved as a person. Its crazy, I even used to eat at mcdonalds everyday in collage bc I needed the dollar menu to live lol. I like the little banana you put as your mouth on the album cover.
