Jul 2021

i did this thing 3 times. it was called 'barewalls'. saic alums came and painted onsite.
after that 1st yr, 2nd, my painting didnt sell, and hangs in some office in alumni affairs. 3rd year i bought my own painting, and it's rolled up in my closet.

i gave a few away, but actually got turned down by my own sister.

i'm paying $175/mo to keep the shit away from the mice.

there are a few more clay pieces out there, but most were swaps.

ftr, facebook.com/mo-clay has a lot of my work.
