Oh hey it's me, at the first in-person event I've done as a vendor since 2019! On Sat 6/4 I'll be at Amherst's Queer Pop-up Market in the Mill District. This event is free, outdoors (yay for greater safety and 🤞for nice weather), and has public access to indoor restrooms and a station to refill water bottles. I'll have zines, patches, paintings, and screen printed clothes, so come say hello!

Also shout-out to Springfield Pride the same day but a lil bit to the south @springfieldprideparadeorg !

Today is the last day to see the @apearts Flat Fi

Today is the last day to see the @apearts Flat File show in person, but the whole show will be online during 2022! I was able to visit at a quiet time last weekend and it was an incredible treat to see 50 different artists stretching the idea of 2D art with so many beautiful and strange techniques, subjects, and ideas. I am so happy to have been a part of this group!

If you're trying to spot my piece, it's in the center of the 2nd image and titled "Bloom/If/Open." If sold, the artist proceeds will be split between @transasylumsupport and The Franklin County People's COVID-19 Mutual Aide Fund (thank you @apearts for adding an extra label with that detail!)

You can see more images at @apearts, or stay tuned for the link to the whole show online starting in early January 2022.

It's my birthday week & the thing I'd like most is

It's my birthday week & the thing I'd like most is to see people donating! All you have to do to get a screenprinted free patch or pair of undies from me is to donate at least US$15 to an organization supporting trans black and/or indigenous folks (I have a list of suggestions, but let me know if you donate to somewhere else!). This is the only way to get this original design & I am covering shipping. Makes a very flattering present or an affirming gift to oneself!

Details are on my website or go directly here: mossybee.com/fundraiser

IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS:
All images have a striped band at the bottom in the trans flag colors (light blue, pink, & white) with the handwritten words “FUNDRAISER GIVEAWAY FOR BLACK TRANS LIVES” on it in black.

I'm part of the @apearts Flat File show, open now

I'm part of the @apearts Flat File show, open now in their gallery in Northampton, MA! The in-person part of the show will be open through 12/18, and the show will be viewable online throughout 2022. There's also a reception this Friday 12/10 from 5-8pm!

My piece is titled "Bloom/If/Open" and includes cartooning, collage, text, and other elements. The second picture shows where you can find it in the gallery. There are 50 works in the show from 50 artists to see!

@apearts writes, "The Flat File Program celebrates the potential of flat media: drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and collage. The collection of small works represents a variety of approaches to flat media either as finished works or momentary components of a creative process. A.P.E.’s Flat File Program features 50 artists, bringing work together to highlight and provide exposure to emerging artists and experimental work that is less likely to be shown in a traditional exhibition setting."

This show was curated by Jil Crary-Ross and Aidan Wright.

Opening reception today! This painting "Shaggy Man

Opening reception today! This painting "Shaggy Mane" is in the @hopeandfeathersframing Small Works show. Pie party/reception 5-8 pm Thurs 12/2, exhibition on view through January 11th. There will be a limit on how many people can be in the gallery itself, and masks are required. Outside there will be pie and space to socialize! I cannot promise vegan pie since I totally forgot to make mine last night 😴

Pictured: "Shaggy Mane" acrylic, 7 x 5"
#shaggymane mushrooms aka #lawyerswig are a kind of #ediblemushrooms ... though this one is a bit too old to be anyone's dinner. You can see the edges are turning to inky black goo because it's a type of #inkcap.

Description: an acrylic painting of a single shaggy mane mushroom amongst leaves, with bumpy stones in the background.
