A traditional Catholic calendar and diagram of the Summa Theologica by Aquinas are my two largest projects.
My favorite thing about art is connecting with people when they give my work as gifts. See both projects in this thread, or here in my shop:
📦 owen-cyclops.myshopify.com
the postal service always gets jammed up around christmas, sometimes around the 10th or 12th of december things really slow down, so we are entering a 30 day window of me getting on your gift giving radar. yet, behold: i am not above dispatching troops to wrangle rogue mailmen:
Obviously, I run an art studio - I enjoy selling things, but the best part is connecting with people. The feedback I've gotten on these has been very cool.
My shop is here: owen-cyclops.myshopify.com. The product descriptions there have links to write-ups about these.
Thanks.

my favorite veteran's day experience is once my uncle came to find a lost gravesite for a family member who fought in the civil war. we found it. it said he died in the 1830s. when i pointed out that this was decades before the civil war started my uncle was just like, "oh. idk"
my son only wants to eat ground beef. confusingly, as he is 5, i know he has not been listening to any podcasts. i have right-wing internet fantasy parenting problems.
me: hey, we don’t throw fruits. fruit bruises, like people. we don’t bruise fruit, we don’t bruise people.
2 year old girl: we cut fruit, we cut people
me: … … no.
flattering (this is not sarcasm, i think its cool) that you can take a thread i wrote almost ten years ago on here, make a youtube video going through it post by post, and get a quarter million views in seven days.
having a difficult time escalating my gifts for the yearly white elephant party. i think i peaked when i brought a machete. tried to bring a flashlight so bright it could blind people - but it wasn't really that bright. feels irresponsible to go beyond this into gun territory.
my best white elephant gift idea was: you open the gift. it's keys. the keys open a PO box in a major city about 6 - 8 hours away. in that PO box is 350 dollars
unfortunately, i do not have 350 dollars. also thought about giving away a car that doesn't work: too many logistics

hard to find great photos of it but in (i believe) the imperial cult chamber in the luxor temple in luxor, egypt (ancient thebes), there's a spot where frescoes are peeling off the wall to reveal egyptian hieroglyphics hidden underneath:
the class of being that the gingerbread man belongs to would clearly be: golem - however, as he was constructed outside of traditional magical knowledge, he is not bound to obey his creator.
