AntAestheticism

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Earth Day today, and therein I thought I should make note of a few upcycled items I’m continually producing for The AntFarm.
First of all, I’m creating sets of matching notecards and envelopes as stationery made from recycled magazine pages, ranging from High Fashion, to Minimalist, to Bold and […]

Today is going to be a packaging, shipping weight, and photographing day regarding several new items I have ready to post into my shop, but otherwise I plan on spending some time cleaning, organizing, and then finally working on some new projects this evening. I’ll get that weekly newsletter out for tomorrow. Rumor has it […]

I have such Spring Fever right now! Though I have a few graphic design projects to complete by the end of this week, a few meetings and more things to keep me indoors, I can’t help but want to get the heck out of the house! I feel a picnic in a park coming soon…

Over the past three days I’ve been teaching myself how to make handmade paper using a modified frame-and-screen system (some may call it a mold-and-deckle, but there’s nothing very moldy or deckley about my set-up).

Well, it’s been an absolutely crazy month here. I’ve been working my butt off trying to refocus my efforts and switch gears out of my previous bad habits, but now I’ve finally made some headway.
I’ve always considered myself a creative person, and it’s my dream to make a living creating, be it art, crafts, design, […]

… that make it hard to post on my usual public blog about my career life. It’s difficult because of how much has changed in the way that my mind organizes and spits out information, I feel like I need to redesign my entire website. All I have to say for now is that those […]

Over the past few months/seasons I completed two paintings amidst my design work that I forgot to post because one was an experiment and one was a commission. Since they weren’t part of a series that already existed, they just happened on their own and never made it to this site, but I think it’s […]

I don’t know what I would do without music — it’s an integral part of my life, particularly when I have to sit in one position and for an extended period of time. Work, road trips, surfing the `net, creating art… This is such a common sentiment that it’s almost cliche, but I don’t know […]
