UPPERCASE Magazine’s Artists Making Marks by han

UPPERCASE Magazine’s Artists Making Marks by hand explores how artists use mark-making as part of their creative process and aesthetic. I make my marks with a knife… a carving knife. 🤓
Thank you @uppercasemag for featuring my work in the October 2023 issue. #uppercasemag #contemporaryart #magazine #losangeles #print #printmaking

My lighting is WEAK and I used to work around it with a spotlight but I need to upgrade it. What kind of lighting do you have? I need something bright. Ideally, a skylight but can’t do that right now. I also need a bright light for when I paint at night. Seeking recommendations 🙏🏼

Palmdale - home of the poppy fields, the aerospace industry, antelope in Antelope Valley. This is a Community Walmart Mural for Palmdale, I made in June, 2023. The monster truck didn’t make it in to the final version but I still really enjoyed making it.

Thinking about how our brains 🧠 get addicted to

Thinking about how our brains 🧠 get addicted to to things like struggling. My studio door had been falling off its hinges and I just kept dealing with it… Using all my strength some days to lift it so it could close properly. It was such a mission.
My uncle came over and fixed it today. Now I have to fight the instinctive dread of closing/locking the door as it no longer gives me trouble. And I wonder what other areas of life I’ve just accepted as being hard? #artstudio #psychology #mentalhealth

I haven’t been posting much because of the amount of work I have. I keep thinking “I’ll share that in the future.” But there’s always more work in the future… and that’s a good thing. #collage #colorado #works on paper #weaving #losangeles
