A collection of VHS moving images that came from a 1$ purchase from the notorious AXE MAN SURPLUS store in Minneapolis. Beach Party and Animal Bloopers. Became the source of many a drawing with @animalstressdreams with kitten assistance. Combines a lot of dreams here…especially dancing. taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota by @dorianstelldean

Sneezes ask only for sweetness, that’s what Minneapolis was all about this time around! We saved kittens, made drawings, celebrated one of my favorite people in the world🌍 birthday @animalstressdreams saw a white squirrel and made a wish. Imagined the stripper life. The twin cities art residency was a bountiful time. by @dorianstelldean

Mountain Work

school play got me playing with mountains, two halves make that whole.

Drop clothes over garment holds.

Always grateful for an invitation… in this case a tiger chasing some children up this mountain. I like something that can change with these two sides on wheels. taken in Westport, Connecticut by @dorianstelldean
