I’d say that one of my year’s resolutions is to keep my studio organized, but that would be a lie.
Actually, most of my resolutions are a lie. They change around every time I list them. I’m not very good at resolutions. I’ll probably make a lot of art, because I usually do anyway. Hopefully I’ll make better art, not just more of it.
I am finally moving my studio space into a room of my own, and I’ve seriously gotten so much more productive having a space that is not also populated by my cat. The cat-hair-in-clay issues remain unresolved since I still track it everywhere.
Here’s a picture of my current work area. There’s an annotated version with notes on Flickr, in case you’re wondering where I obtained a table that garishly green (my dad made it in woodworking class. I love it.).

Here are some progress pictures of things I’m working on right now.
Little Bear Girl. Those cones next to her are legs, or will be eventually. I thought it’d be nice to sculpt something that wasn’t a monster for once. A bit inspired by Doubleparlour, who’ve been my awesome con neighbours twice now, even if they make fun of my dancing. Okay, “dancing.”

The first coat of colour for Tarbeast Specimen #1. This is for a show in about 2 weeks with the Zzyzx Gallery of Natural Science (at the Hive Gallery, LA).

Anemone Jones and Abalone Smith. For an exhibit in conjunction with the Center for Otherworld Science in March. Until people think I’m awesome enough to give me shows, I’m going to go ahead and hold them in the fictional museum I’ve been developing for years.
I’m sort of obsessed with abalone now. The Monterey Bay Aquarium was gorgeous, as always, and being in love with gorgeous anemones is easy to fathom, but I seriously spent 15 minutes hanging out with an abalone. They’re interesting creatures, really.


And that’s all for now! I’ll try to update this blog more, but I’ve been mostly using Instagram and Tumblr. Follow me there if you like lots of progress pictures – otherwise, I’ll try to distill the most relevant parts into this blog!
