Look at this dude! He was so cute, marching along with us! Admittedly this sign has some linguistic errors but the message is clear 👌
Seeing this scruffy guy with the red bicycle behind and the clean, white protest sign - I had to grab a photo! I asked doggo’s human if I could take his photograph and clearly, he ha...

Tried out some new (used) lenses today on the ol' Finkelstein apparatus - I like how the man in the background is holding an umbrella whilst the foreground is exploding with water! The fountain was actually tiny and I just lined up the shot so it would appear larger than him. Sorry, dude! 💦
I love the texture of the...
In university I had a sculpture class in which we tried various media. I LOVE working with wet clay the most but I also enjoyed working with plaster and a chisel. The piece you see here was for our abstract assignment and I started out with a big rectangular block of plaster cast in an empty soymilk container.
I wanted...
So, a few months ago I decided I was sick of my white marble wing earrings and thought I would much rather dive into sculpture and make my own. Earrings frame the face, highlight a big component of music (ears!) and are just one more place I can leave a personal touch when it comes to visual expression.
That being...

Thank you so much for helping me build a community of 300 awesome Beastlings here! 🎉 🎈🎁🎊
To be clear - the number of patrons fluctuates daily (especially on my end, it goes up and down by >10 people a day) due to something in the way Patreon counts them, I guess!
Either way, each a...

Some beautiful sights from the beach I was just at for a couple days! YES - a rainbow, a lightning (can't believe I caught that!) and thunderstorm, cute seagulls, beautiful clouds, a sunset ALL happening at once!

Hello Beastlings!
As I carve a better workflow and find a more streamlined plan to meet the demands for this fanclub, I'm slowly but VERY cautiously adding more availabilities. So, I've just added 3 spots to the Blue Beastlings tier and 10 to the Platinum Beastlings tier!
Please note - the photos will be pr...
Hot damn that was tedious for no reason! Gotta love technology.
Anyways, here it is! July Shout-Out! Thank you guys for being a constant source of inspiration!

Hello Beastlings!
As promised, here is one of the images from my shoot with Arcadius Mauritz earlier this summer in high resolution! You can save, print, wallpaper, desktop, screensaver, whatever with it! Enjoy!
I'm not really sure why this is the third red outfit of the year for me, but so be it! I actually di...
Hey everyone - I am just pulling our poll back up to the top of the feed as I will be gathering all the votes and choosing a charity soon!

I had a long drive to do today (several hours behind the wheel) and I actually prefer to listen to podcasts or audiobooks over music most of the time. I hope that doesn’t make me a bad musician! I just like to learn or think or imagine and sometimes spoken word inspires me more than music does.
Today I listened to a p...

I just thought I would share a really bizarre encounter I had recently in an airplane.
The flight landed, everyone stood up to deplane. A really small, old woman stood up adjacent to my seat, looked at me and made a face like she saw or smelled something bad and then told me "Ew, that hair, ...

Here’s a look at how the song Avalanche was conceived. Dammit I just realized the time stamp changed when I clicked the note - but it initially said January 28, 2014!
I initially wanted to call it Sweet Revenge or Power Trip, but these lyrics came pou...

My apologies for being a bit vacant- I’ve been dealing with not 1 but 2 family emergencies and I’ve been emotionally destroyed to the point of throwing up so violently my eyes turned bloodshot (kinda looks cool though).
It’s really hard to be so far away from loved one...

Hello Beastlings!
Here's a little time-lapse video of a painting I've been enjoying working on for a while. It is a reproduction of a detail of a piece by Greg "Craola" Simkins. He's one of my favourite artists!
I would love to do this in oil paints but since it is impossible to travel with my painting gear I'm ...
I took this photo on the ferry yesterday as we continued our 2-day trek to Norway. The setting sun held on for a long time before finally succumbing to a dark sky around midnight. I always stare arduously at the water hoping to see a whale but I only saw jellyfish this time - still cool!
Enjoy!

I played with some binaural audio imaging tools to basically place my voice on your forehead while I'm reading the poem, let me know if you feel that!

I'm fascinated by the human mind. So powerful yet so limited.
What do you think? Are you interested in these types of topics? I think about this stuff a LOT - I'm sure you can see some of that in my lyrics.
Thank you for your support as always and for taking an interest in what I do!
