It’s an update! Hello.

I’m writing it at an hour of day in which I’m used to the impending darkness looming much more large. Daylight Savings time changes never have a subtle impact on me.

Call me sensitive, that’s fine. Sensitive people are the ones connected enough to reality to do something about it.

I’m still getting nuggets of interesting community feedback on the heels of my recent art show. Including this compliment (I’m interpreting as a compliment anyway) that I just can’t get out of my head.

I ran into someone at a metal show who knew who I was from my art show, and they told me I was like “the liver of Bellingham.”

I’m really not sure why it made me feel so seen.

Like much interesting art, it’s a statement that might be better off not being explained.

On another note, more than 400 people came to opening night of the skateboard art show.

Now that it has been revealed to the public, I’ll show you the skateboard I made (which started as two half skateboards I picked up from Unknown Board Shop next door).

Nobody has bought it yet (as far as I know) so if you want to raise some funds for a good cause and take this piece home at the end of the month stop by Make.Shift when they’re open. They’re selling the board art starting at $100 with the option of paying more if you so choose.

At least come see what everybody made—it’s a super fun show.

One more little detail for this week’s update:

I have started to nerd out a little harder (yes, it’s always possible to nerd out harder) with my art as it ends up in the hands of other people around the world.

I have started to create handwritten certificates of authenticity that go with each piece.

Anyone who already has an art piece who would like a certificate of authenticity from me can reach out for one.

Original art has no limit to how magical and valuable it can be. So I take that responsibility seriously. 🙂

That’s what I have to say today.

Peace,

Adrien
