My third oil painting project. I expanded my color palette much more for this, and also played around with framing and format to create a comic-like composition. It took so, so painfully long to complete, but the result is what I think are the best paintings I've ever done so far.

My second oil painting project. I moved to using multiple colors for this, and attempted background art in oil for the first time—which turned out looking really good. Turns out oil blends amazingly.

My first full painting, physical or digital, of my then-new fursona Email. Their design was a little different (note the ears). This was also my first oil painting ever, and I started easy with a monochromatic palette. I think I pulled off a punk aesthetic quite nicely.

A bent lamination practice piece. It was made using three identical "S" shaped bent lamination strips, two used for the side supports and the third cut for the back bracer. I also cut down and sanded scrap wood bits for the connectors and the back support.
I unfortunately don't drink drip coffee, so this just sits in my room now.

My first wood carving project. A functional smoking pipe made of ashwood, made by carving two halves and gluing them together to create the cavity. Not pictured is the tea filter I would later use to hold the plant, which would fit above the bowl.
This thing kept burning my throat so I stopped using it. Glass is still best :3

A wood lathe practice piece, made of two identical blocks of ashwood turned down and connected with a wedged round mortise and tenon joint. The finish could've been better but I had a lot of fun using a lathe for the first time to make this.

A fun work I made as a statement on the mythologization of violence. It's a simple machine-sewn construction of denim strips with hand sewn clasps.
Americans used to be much more open to the strategic use of violence in activism: think of pre-WWII unions, the Black Panthers, Stonewall, and the like. However, the late 20th century saw a shift in attitudes towards strict non-violence, which in practice has been far less effective in carrying change. Violence has been reduced to something narrow, contained, and distant.
In this context, what does it mean to wear a bandolier neatly designed and perscribed to hold a historic symbol of riot and chaos?
