'Hand Made Art Is More Important Than Ever' - new blog post!

My new year's resolution.

Fresh video tut for ya!

Muskulatur aufbau immer wieder eine Schicht.

Ive made several of these lately, each featuring a different word or phrase

Im very proud of the art pieces themselves but im also very unproud of the photos ive taken of them

Since its 2026 now, ive decided the time for letting such compunctions stop me from sharing my art ended with 2025, where so much of it happened

Keep the pressure up, friends
Keep making art about your feelings
Its not over yet
We're not free until we're ALL free

#2026

.. in the unrelenting wash of violence of 2025 that hit day on day on day, most people felt shock and so many of us had frozen up.

But with 2026.. the mood, it shifted..
All across the crowd, folks one-by-one started stepping forward, their resolve, and pose tightened

The message was clear.. These folk werent going anywhere..

One message rang LOUD and CLEAR, in their stances, and in the faces

Hey you, YES YOU, THATS ENOUGH..

BAAACK OFF.

LEAVE THEMM,

THE FUCK,

ALONE.

In that moment, after years of harassment,
the clowns finally had company.

Did you ever not create something because you didn't feel "talented" enough I truly believe "being talented" doesn't. matter. at. all. It's all about the willingness to play

Let there be as many glitches as possible in this matrix

I wish I had started taking my music seriously much earlier in my life. But hey, I am doing it now, and that's what counts! New album coming very soon

Have some music lying around that you wrote or produced yourself Don't be selfish and share it with the world!

I don't believe in being gifted or talented to pursue something creative. I believe in enthusiasm, willingness to play, having fun, and the desire to express yourself. So no matter how "good" you are: make more art!

SPRINGFIELD "Families can turn up the heat on summer fun while staying cool in air-conditioned halls at the Springfield Museums.

"Now open seven days a week through Aug. 15, the museums are offering a slate of activities including hands-on exhibitions, live entertainment on the Quadrangle Green, and music inspired by cultures from around the globe.

"Most summer activities are included with Museum admission, and that cost is waived for Springfield residents with proof of residence.

" 'I am hoping that visitors and their families leave the museums this summer thinking Ive learned something new,' said Abby Garner, Family Engagement Coordinator for the Springfield Museums, in an interview with The Republican.

" 'Whether that is from the , one of our performances, the additional activities we are offering, or from one of our visiting exhibits.'

"Some of the Museums summer activities are returning favorites, like the return of Giant Bubbles with Mr. Vinny, a show on the Quadrangle each Friday afternoon that encourages children to watch, chase and pop bubbles. The Toe Jam Band, a childrens entertainment troupe that combines , and , also returns.

"Other activities, like hands-on experiences in the Cats Corner, Hasbro Games Art Discovery Center and , were curated by the Museums education staff for this years summer programming.

"In the Cats Corner, located inside of The Amazing World of Museum, guests can read some of Ted Geisels stories and take part in facilitated art activities. In the Hasbro Games Art Discovery Center, located inside of the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum, guests can participate in activities that range from arts and crafts to dress-up and puppet play. In the Spark!Lab, located inside of the Springfield Science Museum, make projects inspired by inventions and innovations in American history, or invent something totally new.

" 'Activities can change from week to week in our drop-in spaces, so there are new experiences often for visitors looking to visit more than once this summer,' Garner said.

A focus on music

"The summer schedule also offered the opportunity for more live music at the Museums.

" 'Weve had musical performances on and off throughout the years, and theyre always really special events, especially when the weathers nice and we can have them out on our and kids can dance and and ,' said Larissa Murray, Director of Education for the Springfield Museums. 'But we wanted to make it more of a featured event, something that you could plan for as opposed to it just happening now and again.'

"Wednesdays are a strong turn-out day for the Museums, Murray explained, making it the perfect opportunity to test out a new music program.

"As a result, the Springfield Museums are offering a 'Music on Wednesdays' program this summer, with a different group or performer scheduled each week. The live music begins on July 9 with the Community Music School of Springfield performing music from and -inspired drumming and dance."
