Check out these microscopic crystalline structures from a piece of metal! In my Intro. to Metallurgy class we take a piece of steel, torch it, cut it, and examine it under a microscope. I'm loving the science aspects of this course. In the Fab Lab, a few of us have been tasked to fabricate brackets from scrap steel. I call us "The Bracketteers!" We cut pieces to size, drill mounting holes, bend where necessary, weld together, paint white, then hang. We also do projects that benefit our classroom, campus, and local community such as build a tiered cart for toting around tools, fabricate a fire pan for a fire safety course, and constructing a people mover for Shivley Agricultural Farms, respectively. #micropscope #crystals #fabrication #industrial #science #machineshop #metalshop #projects #metallurgy #studio #lab #womanempowerment #womanartist #makemagic #metalaf #dowhatyoulove #springsemester #welding #certificate #womanpower💪#womanwelder #womanpower #yesican #knowledgeispower #knowledgeispower📚 (at College of the Redwoods Adult & Community Education) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnMe8WrlRN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had such an amazing time vending with @rockchickdesigns and @thesunhus at @playhouse.arts this weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures, but I did capture segments of an amazing performance by Iesha. The acapella acoustics she strummed are straight from the spirit of a true warrior! Her vocals still reverberate in my soul. Don't forget the Zero to Fierce Festival is happening all week, and even a lunch break is enough time to witness all the magic happening in this space. #lunch #talks #guestspeaker #doula #centrodelpueblo #queer #stories #mmiw #nonbinary #missingandmurderedindigenouswomen #genderfluid #genderexpansive #womxn #zero #fierce #medusa #sculpture #feminine #rage #art #available #forsale #supportlocalartists #supportlocal #womanartist #supportlocalbusiness #womanownedbusiness #communityevent #arcata https://www.instagram.com/p/CpglLoVJFvw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I finished two logo design proofs, one in a rotoscope style with arched rustic veggies, vibrant highlights, and a mustache-inspired southwestern text. The other is a greyscale portrait emulating an old western WANTED poster with a bloodthirsty and prickly font. Rustic rotoscope is the chosen one and I'm looking forward to seeing this final contender plastered on the side of a hot sauce bottle! I'm thankful for the opportunity to further demonstrate my Illustration skills! #logodesigns #hotsauce #southwest #logo #commission #organic #logos #hotsaucelover #font #logotype #prismacolor #coloredpencil #rotoscope #logoinspirations #peppers #coloredpencils #garlic #onion #coffee #design #cartoon #commissionart #drawing #prismacolorpencils #logodesigner #commissionsopen #smallbusiness #supportlocalartist #supportlocalbusiness #emergingartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdWVoavdmt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I spent the morning making bronze slagnets for tonight's punk rock show at Arcata Playhouse. I cleaned up some metal slaggy bits with vinegar and baking soda then attached the chaotically formed crystalline structures to a magnet with adhesive. Friends get first dibs! If you see something you like, DM me for a price estimate in the next few hours before these puppies hit the dance floor! #punkshow #nonbinary #genderfluid #zero #fierce #medusa #magnet #chaos #rage #art #chaotic #crystal #structure #metal #prints #jewelry #bronze #punk #punkrock #punkmusic #punkgirl #available #forsale #supportlocalartists #supportlocal #womanartist #supportlocalbusiness #womanownedbusiness #communityevent #arcata https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpa5pA7PA28/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Arcata Playhouse is having a Punk show this Sunday from 5p-8p. I will be vending during the event and Medusa will be a part of the gender-expansive womxn art show, "Sheart from the Heart." The exhibition kicks off the week-long Zero to Fierce Festival happening March 5th-11th. The name of this show is pronounced a few ways. One is, “Sheart from the Heart” said in the tone of Bon Jovi’s chorus from, “You Give Love A Bad Name”, or alternatively, the show name can be pronounced “she(Art) from the he(Art)” and lastly, “(she)art from the heart.” Pick your poison.

This weekend I was gifted a set of slightly rusted cast iron pans. How could I say no? I'm so grateful to receive some sturdy, healthy, and wholesome cookware that will last me a lifetime, and it all begins with the journey of restoration. Now, to get these babies well-seasoned! #castiron #castironcooking #castironskillet #rusted #rustedmetal #revitalize #restoration #restore #bakingsoda #vinegar #elbow #grease #elbowgrease #grateful #thankful #thankyou #appreciate #appreciation #gift #lifetime #sturdy #healthy #wholesome #seasoned #blacklikemysoul #kitchen #cookware #cookwares #cookwareset #appreciated https://www.instagram.com/p/CpKzvbqLPQ7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yay! A snow day! No school = no problem. Time to bust out some hot sauce logo designs. So far, it's looking like rotoscope animation except the was no tracing to obtain this realistic line drawn style. I'm excited to start dropping in some color! #logodesigns #hotsauce #southwest #logo #commission #organic #logos #hotsaucelover #font #logotype #prismacolor #coloredpencil #rotoscope #logoinspirations #peppers #coloredpencils #garlic #onion #coffee #design #cartoon #commissionart #drawing #prismacolorpencils #logodesigner #commissionsopen #smallbusiness #supportlocalartist #supportlocalbusiness #emergingartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDA440rwh1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
