One of my favorite birds and I’m so jealous we don’t have them in the states

He’s not wrong

Went in for an adhd evaluation, and not surprisingly, he said I showed telltale symptoms. This line from his assessment made me laugh in particular cause uff “Erik was open and responsive to questions, but he sometimes provided lengthy and tangential response”

Sir, must you drag me like this

I could probably dm you if you really wanted to know. I don’t think it’s that big of a secret

I gotta be careful with what I say, but I know what I’ll be working on for the next 15 years of my life

I really want to!

Let me do some research and see how feasible this could be. It would have to be around May/June for breeding season, so maybe this would have to be a 2027 thing. Bethel I believe is the biggest close city

Being kinda serious? The Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta is not an easy place to get to, but I’m sure I could figure out logistics

Does anyone want to come with me to Alaska and take reference photos of ducks for the duck stamp competition?

Did a while ago it’s honestly not that bad

lol it’s relatively new still, and I still spend part of my time In Minneapolis. But yeah, BOOO to We Energies!

I live in Milwaukee so I’m unfortunately very familiar with We Energies

OH HELL NAH

Guess I’ll die 🤷‍♂️

I was trying to keep myself occupied and do my best to not to think about what is happening in my home city, so I painted this portrait study. Tempted to fuck around with it a little and experiment, but I’ll probably just hang it up in my studio and put it up for sale

I hate this trope. Maybe some people find inspiration from their trauma, but personally, I just shut down

So pretty

All I ever want to hear is, “you painted that? Holy crap!”

I agree with the food and the clothes, but the perpetual darkness and 5 months of being basically stuck in the house isn’t great for my seasonal depression

How? Give me 95 any day

I tabled at an anime convention this weekend and two little girls came up to my table and said my work was high in atheistic. Not sure exactly what that means, but I took it as a compliment

Ugh that’s a great thought and I wish that had occurred to me when I painted this

There ornaments for a tree

My partner made and designed them! They’re so good!

The end is coming... handmade Dala Horsemen of the Apocalypse! #swedish #swedishamerican #minnesota #TCCon

Everything's fine! 🔥🙃 Hanging with @dreadfulk.bsky.social at Twin Cities Con 💖

Our table markers for our food

Ok! I’ll make some vids and try to walk through the process

Lead lines are HARD to figure out and I’m still trying to get a hang of it. It amazes me the shapes you can get out of glass, but there are still huge limitations, and most of lead lining is just figuring out where the weakest parts of the glass would be

Very tempted to take an atelier workshop in Florence since it sounds like my work will pay for it
