Of all the versions of me out there, this is probably the closest to what I am like IRL (sharing interesting and benign observations on my surroundings and random things about my day, enjoying the small/slow interwebs, a little weird, not too serious, and enjoying connecting with fellow internet explorers)

i had made a page of my dad's hats a while ago and it took forever to get it live from when i first had the idea, and it always bugged me that it looked like some kind of e-commerce website selling hats 😞 finally got a chance to work on it and make it look as chaotic, handmade, and frivolous as i wanted it to look in my head this whole time https://kwon.nyc/dad-hats/

@khleedril probably the pencils, because i was using my chisel to sharpen them before by hacking away at the wood, which is why i upgraded to the higher-tech sharpener!

@glass it is freestanding so does require a hand to steady it, but there's a silicone pad on the bottom so it doesn't move much. it sharpens perfectly (so far) and has a mechanism where it stops automatically when it's sharp, which is nice. makes me want to use pencils a lot more!

@futurebird valid!! I was going to see if I could bolt it to my workbench but it doesn’t look like it would work

I got a Mitsubishi Uni KH-20 hand crank pencil sharpener for my drafting pencils so my gf gave me her Mitsubishi pencils and I’m obsessed with the box hehe

Dispatches from an in-progress attempt to get unstuck

Hello and welcome to the latest chapter of my midlife crisis, where I’ve done something somewhat impulsive, which is to sign a commercial lease on a (very modest) studio space in Brooklyn. I have felt creatively stuck for a while, and also just generally disconnected and ungrounded from the immediate physical world around me. So I’m hoping that having a dedicated space to make stuff will encourage me to get myself unstuck. (Also paying a monthly subscription fee a.k.a. rent to another landlord in order to hold myself accountable to fixing my own creative constipation better be enough of a fire to get me moving and stop feeling sorry for myself.)
