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

Hey LA, all the artists involved in Pairings over at @denk_gallery are getting together tomorrow afternoon to talk about our work and walk you thru the show. If you’re downtown, stop in, have a drink and listen to us ramble. 2-4 #allroadsleadtosculpture #shrinetogoodfortuneinthewest
I’ve been to many places on this planet but have never experienced anything quite like Fogo Island. ✨Come journey with us to one of the four corners of the earth, Fogo Island, Newfoundland, December 7-12. The Fogo Island Inn, Frontier and the Nomadic School of Wonder invite you to “The Art of Walking Upright,” a gathering of humans coming together to explore a more natural, essential way of being, living and belonging in a place you can’t quite believe but always hoped existed. Co-host for this adventure in awe is Zita Cobb, who along with her two brothers Alan and Anthony, founded Shorefast, dedicated to building cultural and economic resilience on Fogo Island. We’ll learn how Fogo Islanders have been able to hold on to a way of life by “finding new ways with old things.” We’ll experience a boil-up, walk over 420-million-year-old rock, fly handmade kites, explore the natural wonders and modern architecture of Fogo Island, share meals, stories, song, and a jig or two and make wonder with guest artists @kieljohnson @kahnselesnick @angelbirdflight @michaelkass825 and curator @paddyharrington To learn more: see link in profile or email: fogoisland@nomadicschoolofwonder.com ✨Feel free to message me directly if you need convincing. ✨ 📷 @joshrubin . . . #fogoisland #newfoundland #explorenl #wonderful_places #fogoislandinn #adventureinawe #nomadicschoolofwonder #allroadsleadtosculpture

She’s finished another masterpiece. 100% hand cut, pieced, quilted and bound by my ultra-talented and indefatigable mother. ✨💗✨ Swipe left to see the back and marvel at the stitching. One needle and a ton of love. Never for sale, only gifts. #allroadsleadtosculpture #handmade
Out on a walk, thinking about how much times have changed, I stumbled on a few young lads soakin away their days in the very same spot I learned everything you really need to know about life. #creeklife #indiancreek
