Making lunches for my kids, but the banana was too big. Let this be a warning to all other bananas, i guess.... instagr.am/p/CsbZrGAuTqF/

Jogged past Lincoln elementary and helped The Plucky Cluckers set up to play at the plant sale that's happening here at ten today. #lincolnoptions #musicalchickens #pluckycluckers instagr.am/p/CsL6XihLcZV/

Early morning razor work... instagr.am/p/CsLv7Cvr5yJ/

Moving right along... fun fact: a staggering 180% of all elements are boring grey rocks with no interesting uses, making it a chore and a half to give them any type of personality. #elementalart #periodictable #periodictableart #art #ink #atomicart #pa… instagr.am/p/CrtCNCwLHuL/

Found this old frame at Value Village, yanked the mat and glass, painted the interior walls black and have a piece of wood i bathed in black ink at the back. The question now is WHAT SHOULD I CREATE IN HERE? Fuzzy monster with a crush on a bird? Dog with… instagr.am/p/CrojCcvSiYg/

Wife: I need you to draw a bird for me for something. Me: Okay. Context? Wife: Nope. There you go. #bird #drawing #ink instagr.am/p/Crir4gmrg7A/

Making Mendeleev proud! Work continues as I'm able. #elementalart #periodictable #elements #art instagr.am/p/CrcVQv5rnPr/

Birthday drawing! instagr.am/p/CrYoEnQrDFe/

Finally started inking this after who knows how long... kids immediately confirmed my worst fears and found a typo, thankfully only in a penciled atom (so far). I've also been continuing to redraw bits of them as i try to make them more atomomically corr… instagr.am/p/CrQgL73rpeq/

A couple more pieces i donated to the Lincoln Elementary auction that happened last night. In case anyone is, like, "what's with all the chickens playing guitar for this event?", the auction featured Lincoln's community band, who play for the entire stud… instagr.am/p/CrGg0utLRMb/

Loading up to head to our first gig, at the Lincoln Options Elementary Spring Fling Charity Auction! Tickets still available at lincolnoptions.org/springfling/ #lincolnoptions #chickens #music #musicalchickens @olympiaschooldistrict instagr.am/p/CrECEAoL3QP/

I've been a little remiss in not posting these sooner, but these original musical bird pieces are all up for auction RIGHT NOW in a fundraiser to support Lincoln Options Elementary, here in Olympia. lincolnoptions.org/springfling Go bid bunches and spr… instagr.am/p/Cq-kZGdLIdO/

It's my new sticker! Whether you suffer from carsickness, have a picky eater in the family, or just plain love poison, this sticker is for you! Available wherever fine people can track me down to demand stickers! #mryuk #mryuck #sticker #carsick #drama… instagr.am/p/Cq8TJcQrVwM/

My last post was some mushrooms i did while experimentating with masking, spray paint, and splattered ink. These are the other two pieces i made at the same time. I may still decide to outline some of the inksplatter on the one, but i haven't touched it … instagr.am/p/CqxzcEgr5eO/

This year has been so bonkers that i haven't been able to touch a pen or pencil in weeks, possibly decades. I finished pencils for my huge periodic table drawing a long time ago, but haven't started inking it yet. Time and nerves, and i keep making litt… instagr.am/p/CqDvRGiJ7lv/

Drew this a few weeks ago while my kids watched Chernobyl for the second time. I guess that makes it related to the giant periodic table drawing I'm sloooooowly working on. The things we do for our children. #nuclearpower instagr.am/p/CooEYLDrEIe/

My periodic table drawing is slowly coming along... been super busy, so i haven't had much of a chance to work on it since i started, but i can at least now sorta see the end of penciling the bulk of it... #periodictable #elementart #art #science #scien… instagr.am/p/CoI5rPNPSmm/

Pencilling in the drawing I'm periodically working on. I'll get to inking some of these guys at some point, but i want to be sure my kids are happy with them first, since this project is unpaid l inspired by their obsession with the elements. #elementa… instagr.am/p/CnkShlbPU5i/

Gearing up to start another big stupid drawing, this one based on my children's current obsession... Step 1: too much time leaning over a ruler. Complete! Step 2: research...? #art #periodictable #periodictableart instagr.am/p/CnfnmGqPbZW/
