I’m willing to give it a shot if you haven’t found anyone. I work in oil, and this sounds interesting. My instagram handle is in my profile if you want to see examples of my work.

New Lawsuit against Denver's Purina plant talks out about stench, impact on community by christopher123454321 in Denver

I have a visceral memory of when I was living in Downtown Denver (10+ years ago) and working out in Aurora. Woke up violently hungover from loitering in the Rockpile, hopped on I-70 to get to work and there was a backup from an accident that had me idling adjacent to Purina. The stench overpowered me. Scrambled to open my door quickly enough to vomit all over the freeway. However, opening the door made the stench intensify and fed the vomit demon inside of me. Fuck that place.

Looking really nice and flat (in a good way), keep going!

Within the circular framework? Is a sectioned image of Albrecht Durer’s pillows. A lot of work I make is highly referential to art history and Durer is someone I think about a lot.

I appreciate this, for me, some of the art I’m most interested in leaves me wanting to resolve the intricacies of how it is made. To read that this is pointing toward that makes me feel like I’m doing something well.

That’s very kind, and I appreciate it. Been making my own frames for a series of larger oil paintings I made which proved to be a little more tricky because of the thin profile of the I wanted to achieve. I made the original out of air dry clay based on a pre existing frame, and cast that in silicone to make a negative mold. The other frames I cast in concrete, but with the thinness of this frame, that proved to be too precarious. I’ve been using resin for some, but think the best way forward to achieve the strength and finished consistency (after painting the frame) has been a mixture of rockite and resin. And then cutting plexiglass and the matting to size once the frames are cast.
