Howdy patrons!
I am writing from a motel in Logan, UT, about halfway between Albuquerque and Portland. My move is finally here! And... my car broke down! Last night about half an hour north of Salt Lake City my alternator died and so did my car. We got towed to Brigham city where we dropped the car at a mechanic. After that we took about an hour to get an uber to the closest hotel, which ...

Howdy patrons. Friday marked the opening of Wild Desire, my exhibition of new works with Mark Zubrovich. Mark is a furry and painter based in Brooklyn, NY. We’ve been pen pals since 2018 and finally met for the first time for this show. I’ll have plenty of photos to share from the opening soon, as well as formally lit install photos later down the line.
While Mark was here we also re...

Side one of a 2 sided standing panel piece that’s going in my show. The show is opening next week so I’ve been in crunch mode preparing for it! Excited about this one though. The other side is gonna be atmus. Will share photos of that progress soon as well.

A recent painting I’ve been working on for my show coming up in… 2 weeks??? Wow it’s around the corner! Definitely the largest thing I’ve painted, first canvas I’ve painted too. Based on a screenshot from a Frosted Flakes commercial. In the original image there’s a boy diving for the catch and Tony is his shadow.
I have been thinking of the title of this piece as a...
2023-06-23 23:43:08 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Friday folks! I just looked through my back catalog of uploads and added access for all patron levels. Thanks to Loomy for letting me know about that issue. New folks, you should have a lot more access to the archive of uploads. There are some good ones in there :)

I just spent a good 2.5 hours putting social media posts together for this print sale. After a good 4 hours working yesterday on the photos, my website store and my Patreon relaunch.
It catches me off guard how much all this stuff matters. I was going to post the announcement to instagram tonight but apparently evenings are the slow time for post engagement. Funny be...

Thanks so much for signing up for my patreon to support my practice. I look forward to sharing projects and ideas with you all on here.
If you look at the recent posts you'll see a few WIPs and sketches from my recent screen printing project. You'll also see a special patron only link...
I have officially listed my new screen print for sale on my website store.
As a thank you for new patreon subscribers, I am offering the posters at a discount, $150 instead of the $200 for non-subscribers.
I have created a special patreon exclusive discounted print sale:

After 3 sessions we've got all the posters printed! I'm currently in the process of signing and editioning them, but the majority of the work on these is done. I'm in the process of making my store page for these, and the special patrons only discount on the print :)

Here are some view of the poster even further along. I worked with my old college roommate and good friend, Ben Higgins on the design, you can really see in image 3 here where a graphic designer stepped in, lol. I was very excited with the 3rd design, but ultimately decided to simplify some elements in the final design. I loved the bullseyes on the face heart and crotch, but my screen printer (...

A couple early sketches of the target practice piece. I had initially imagined the piece as a more detailed image of Atmus, possibly a direct half tone of a photo. Also included here is a series of pose references I was considering when designing the piece. My initial imagination had this fire texture somewhere in the design, but I ultimately dropped it in the editing process. After tracing a p...

Here's a preview of a project that's been cooking for a while now. I first got the idea back in 2019 to create a print that turned Atmus into the subject of a shooting range poster.
The subject of mass shootings and american gun culture has been a long running fear/fixation of mine. I think Atmus makes a useful subject for this idea, crossing the idea of the hunted deer and the hunt...
2023-06-03 19:33:40 +0000 UTC View PostWOO! The time has come... for the return of this page.
As any returning patrons know, I last had decided to take down my page after patreon had deemed my artwork "too pornographic". After some years and a few back and forths with patreon support, I have been handed a verdict that my art is officially "NOT TOO PORNOGRAPHIC!"
As the screenshot below shows, this ...
2023-06-03 18:55:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi Patrons,
It's with some sadness that I'm announcing plans to close my patreon page. Since Patreon decided to censor my content in Fall 2019, I've had thoughts and plans of moving to a new platform. But with the finishing graduate school, the pandemic affecting my ability to make art (particularly my ability to attend Furry community events), and now with my new position teaching this ...
Hi Patrons. Some of you may have noticed a bunch of my content has disappeared off this page. Unfortunately this is the result of a week long dispute between me and patreon. About a week ago I woke up to an email from patreon informing me that my content was in violation of their community guidelines. Despite the fact that their guidelines define banned pornographic content as "real people ...

Still getting lighting set up for this, but hey check it out! My colleague had this taxidermy head in her studio, when she moved out she lent it to me, she said it made sense for me to have it. Been trying to think of what to do with this guy... today is sketch day!

The latest iteration sketch of my background for an upcoming performance piece. A professor suggested I might move from the "cartoon crack" to a cracked screen to get more specific with my metaphor and I really loved the idea! I'm still working on cleaning up the compositing, and I want to scan my own cracked screen rather than pull an image from the internet as I have here. But, i'm pretty pro...

So, nothing should change for you, but I wanted to let y’all know. Thanks again for your support, can’t wait to keep sharing mo...

Tomorrow I’m driving up to Santa Fe, NM to visit a gallery. Through a winding series of fortunate events, I have landed an opportunity to stage a performance and pop up exhibition during an upcoming photo portfolio review event in Santa Fe. I’m meeting with the gallery owner and event organizer to plan out the show. One piece I have in mind is a photo op with Atmus in front of a big install...

Excited about some hot acquisitions via mail today! I commissioned my fursuit makers for an pair of arms and a tail that I could wear to partial-fursuit as Atmus.
As you can see in the bodysuit hanging on the wall, normally getting into suit is pretty all-or-nothing. I've gone to some events only wearing my head, but I wanted to have some way to be a little bit more in character without h...

First test with this printer on a custom puzzle. Wanted to see the image quality before I commit to any more prints, but I’m pretty satisfied. Would love to make a couple more images into puzzles for fun collectables.

Sharing here as a little behind the scenes for y'all. One of the things I want to do with this patreon is figure out how to apply the funds directly back into my practice and the Furry community. To me, commissioning work from other furries taps both of those desires.
This is a little concept sketch from fursuit sneaker designer Razzy Lee. I've loved her work for a while, and have had a...
I've had the idea to turn this image into a postcard kicking around since I made it, and I have also been thinking about more ways to say thank you to all you supporters. I ordered a limited run of these, and they should get in in the coming weeks. I'll share more once they arrive.
Relatedly, many of my recent patrons have chosen not to include their mailing address in their account info...
A fun portrait I took at Denfur of a friend. The smoke came from a friend using their vape. Miles (a patron on here! Hi Miles!) got a great behind the scenes image of the photoshoot. Sharing that here as well.
I have some more exciting projects to share here soon! I'm gearing up for my last schoo...

I was working on this photo of Atmus the other day while making some prints. One of my my steps in the editing process is using a threshold layer to find the brightest and darkest points in my image. While using the threshold slider I got kinda mesmerized by how the image morphed. So... I decided to make a gif of that! Very satisfied by the loop/pulse. Feel free to steal this for your DJ set vi...

Hi patrons!
Today I've been working on a portfolio of images to share in the Art Show at Denfur 2019. It's been interesting to try and decide what images I should choose to show. If you haven't been to a con, the general format for the art show is a series of pegboard cubicles, signing up for the show guarantees you one wall about 4x3' to fill as you please. Everything in the show can be...
Another collage work using some images from MK back here in the studio. Excited to print this out so I can think on it a bit more.

A sketch from the studio today. I shot some images of Taro and Wolfbound in front of a chroma key screen with the intention of collaging them later. This is a really quick and dirty mock-up of something I had in mind. Not quite sure how I feel about it, but I wanna keep it around to keep thinking. The bg is grabbed from the Little Mermaid ride at Disney.
