Another view from Paperworks: Refolded at @breagallery. River Front, 2016 ✨ Double Decker, 2012 on the back wall #allroadsleadtosculpture

Like the guy that rummages thru my dumpsters, the #violin is really high, but not particularly loud. ✨ You’ll need two or three violins🎻 🎻🎻for each #woodwind or #brass instrument🎺 to achieve a balanced #sound. @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall @laphil 💯 sept 30. 10-4 #allroadsleadtosculpture

Whether it’s making thunder, mimicking a raucous crowd, or filling in as Charlie Brown’s parents, the #trombone gets all the fun jobs. It’s range most closely resembles that of the human voice ✨🗣✨ @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall @laphil 💯 sept 30 10-4 #allroadsleadtosculpture

You don’t even need thumbs to play most of this stuff. ✨ Got to use all 10 to play the #bassoon though. The left thumb controls 9 keys while the right thumb only has to mess with 5. 👍🏽👍🏽 @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall @laphil sept 30 10-4 #allroadsleadtosculpture

Peaceful up at Debs this morning.

Playing the #violin can burn 180 calories per hour. 🎻💦 Drawing each violin in the @laphil can cause your wrist to be super sore.✍🏻💥 @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall @laphil 💯Sept 30 10-4 #allroadsleadtosculpture

When you’re building an orchestra & you need a 20 ton hydraulic jack w/ 10,000 psi of pressure, it’s great to know master metalsmith @aprilkawaoka ✨⚒✨Thanks for helping me smash a bunch of pipes tonight. #allroadsleadtosculpture

Turns out, the French horn actually has a German passport. 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 In 1971 the International Horn Society officially announced that “horn” should be the recognized name for the instrument. Nobody seems to be listening. ✨🙉✨ #frenchhorn vs #germanhorn #allroadsleadtosculpture @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall @laphil 💯 yrs Sept 30 10-4

Historically used as signaling devices in battle, hunting, and religious ceremonies, #trumpets have seen it all. ✨😳🎺✨Oldest found dates to 1500 BC. Crept on the music scene in the Middle Ages. #allroadsleadtosculpture @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall sept 30 10-4

If you like making things instead of practicing, the #oboe is for you. ✨🎼✨Many professional oboe players spend more time making and perfecting #reeds than they do practicing their instrument. #allroadsleadtosculpture @ciclavia @laphil @waltdisneyconcerthall sept 30 10-4

At the @breagallery picking up work from Paper Works: Refolded ✨So fun to see these two trouble makers. ✨🎺🎺✨Taps & Revelry, 2010, chipboard, foam and tubing. ✍🏻I’ll draw them as soon as I get back to the shop for @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall 💯 @laphil Sept 30 10-4

Invented in 1835, the #tuba is fairly new to the music world. It completely replaced the #ophicleide. Nothing was wrong with the ophicleide. The tuba had better marketing and was new. I’m drawing both @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall @laphil 100yrs sept 30 10-4 #allroadsleadtosculpture

Honored to be included in this slick new #artbook by @nathanspoor & @spoke_art. ✨ Lots of great stuff inside. Get a hard cover for the coffee table and a soft one for the glovebox😉 #suggestivismresonance

Sunday’s all about getting the #woodwinds out. ✨☀️✨ @ciclavia @waltdisneyconcerthall sept 30 10-4 #flute #clarinet
