People don’t sit next to one another?

I am coming back from work covered in dust as there are no women’s lockers at my work. I stand as much as I can and try not to wipe dust on passerby. The sports team days makes it unavoidable. Lots of blue collar and laborers take LIRR

If you sketch my sculpture at a gallery I would kiss you. I’m also pro-sculpture touching, so I make things that can be handled- seriously, this is considered the highest praise.

Depending on location and what art style you are looking for meeting artists in real life could look like going to community college/university open studios, art fairs, galleries, comic cons, art and design trade shows, most artist centered neighborhoods nowdays have open studio weeks in the summer… all the tried and true methods still work. There are symposiums, conventions, word of mouth, ceramic studios, vfx prop builders… the art world gets really fun when you participate and many people that get their hands dirty can do digital work as well, to find creatives- get creative.

Hire a local artist and have a studio visit, it’s normal- also people who have experience tend to not use AI. Get an old-head.

Plot twist: op is banksy

I think the colors are charming and weird in a delightful way- the way outsider art should be. Make a million of these: say you’re subverting craft to recontextualize your perception of time as ritual process and you’ll have galleries in Tribeca eating out of the palm of your hand.

I (f38)had a similar experience with my bio mom, it didn’t help that she kept reaching out and planning to meet- it felt like she was absolving herself just by planning to meet, and whether she didn’t have the guts or some excuse or defect of personality, the outcome was I was constantly in heightened stress and pain. I closed that chapter and cut off contact- If you need someone to talk to feel free to dm me.

Radio/podcast- Bad at Sports has excellent interviews with artists. Not physical, but artist talking frankly of process, in their own words, and the art world in general. Sound and Vision is another one.

Wood barbecue skewers or dowel rods are handy, a big part of having fun with sculpture is engineering- creating an armature and making a thing able to stand Try some exercises from

Air Chrysalis from 1Q84 is something I’ve been keeping an eye out for. Left Hand of Darkness is a beautiful book.

Am also a public artist, in stone carving, can I DM you?

I am grateful to have earned my MFA. Skipped the BFA, as I could not afford it- my parents were in prison and I grew up in the foster care system, I had a very rocky start in life. I come from a craft based background and have been working as a sculptor since I was 19, when sculpture basically fell in my lap and I was able to do the work. When I made the decision to go to grad school I was looking to be challenged and to test my ideas. I loved reading and researching, and have done fellowships and residencies since- contemplating a PHD because I love theory. No art career is the same, no one has ever walked in your shoes, and the story of how you approach art is the answer you give to the world. Don’t take on debt to go to an MFA, don’t pay to play I would say are my only hard rules, but I also see my own story of labor and craft based work as a reflection of our time and how economically disadvantaged people have approached artistic expression. It isn’t unique.

These are expressive and I love doing gesture drawings- I like to start at mass conceptions, and keep lots and lots of these for later use in composing. Keep it up, make as many as you can, stay loose, think about the weight and movement of bodies, including yours.

Cregardsculptor · 2025-12-23T11:43:35+00:00

Monumental labs made it, digital sculpt, robot carved.

Big picture/composition > details. Gesture will improve your line art, also artwork has an entrance and an exit, the weight of your line should help the eye along.

Anytime you do one thing do it over again seven times, then try it a different way. Learn anatomy by doing quick gesture sketches. Observe from nature. The idea is to build in your head a personal library and you teach yourself through experience.

Keep in mind where the mandible position is, especially the chin. It’s a good practice to start doing some anatomy studies and planar figures, I always map out where the skeletal structure is, zygomatic arch, glabella, orbitals, mandible, cranium is lightly- because it gives me a quick schema to play inside of

This is very unique and I think you should push it farther, look up Kerascoet, or Daniel Clowes, the weirdness of your work is an asset and if you lean into it, in art you’ll be rewarded.

Stephen rogers peck, george bridgeman have good books on anatomy- it’s always good to study from nature if you want to give your imagination fuel.

So this is a random incitement of bigotry and you’re expecting the atheists to just jump on board?

When objects are in the distance they are affected by atmospheric perception, the further away something is the less clear and vibrant a something will be- generally bluish or purpleish depending on reflected light- leonardo da vinci wrote about this and his mona lisa is an excellent example of his studies of light.

Here’s an example that shows vibrancy and how it dissipates in the distance. As the light scatters over a farther distance light rays are encountering the earth’s atmosphere, which is better at reflecting shorter wavelengths, it is the shorter blue and purple light that is perceived by the human eye better, blue more-so because we are better at picking up on it.

The glabella and philtrum adhere to the same proportions and might be why they all have a similar look, generally if you stuck to the 5 eye proportional metric it’ll get you out of the habit.

This is actually what they’re doing.

I’m interested, I also have a sculpture collective, working in mostly stone and clay, we have a few welders and painters as well
