Soooo if you didn't see my stories I've added to my Alien collection and if you know me this latest eiditon is insane!!!! I was able to find the @spirithalloween Xenomorph Animatronic after many shop searching and waiting for (what I think was the last store in Michigan) to open. Thank you so much to the employees at every Spirt Halloween who helped me 💚

My collection of xenos started immediately after seeing the first film long time ago. And actually that movie inspired me to pursue film and animation as my career. I can't say how many xenos I actually own, one day I'll count em... But im just so happy I have my own life size one and you're damn right the second I finished building him I hugged him. Now he just needs a name!

Movement 2026 was the most thrilling roller coaster ride thanks to the people riding alongside eachother. People of Detroit take care of eachother. I will forever die on this hill. We dance fiercely, dream wildly, and love passionately. No matter where I am in this world I’ll always wear the heart of Detroit on my sleeve. No matter what goes down, there’s always mutual respect and care. I found and learned to love myself here. To only choose 20 photos of the people who made my heart dance as much as the music is criminal. Special shoutouts to some of my favorite D town DJs playing wicked movement sets this weekend @garrison.xr @duck_trash @hypemelotv @ak10101010101010101010101010 @hotwaxxhale @lady_witch_ @djholographic @just_beige and so many more who played amazing party sets, yall always and forever deserve your flowers. Special S/O to Garrison for being the first person to ever book me as a club performer. You believed in my weirdness and I’ll always have your back. Congrats on playing ur first movement in the underground!! S/O to the friends I’ve kissed, moved, and laughed with this weekend. S/O to @dollsnightdet & @blueprint.313 for choosing me to help volunteer to make our dance floors safer! S/O to the underground and dancing on the tip top of the pyramid. S/O to naps at the Afters and friends checking in to make sure you’re not dead. S/O to @hausofpurrrspective for housing me for the weekend and ring door bell cameras. Shout out to @ezzra_xa & @elijahcluna for taking me in as their trusty straggler. S/O to fanning your neighbors, sharing electrolytes, and harm reduction supplies. S/O to feeding friends and strangers fruit on the dancefloor. S/O to spread eagles and serving cvnt. S/O to blowing bubbles, dollar tree, and healthy tomfoolery. S/O to vinas mom, gare’s grandparents, and @cashingaround for having the best hugs of all of movement and finally s/o to the friends old and new I’ve made because of this city. I love you💖

Summer 2025 is one I will always remember. Working at Bucks Rock all these years later was a magical experience. I made friends, taught teenagers how to 3d model, spent the summer in New England amongst nature, and made amazing memorie. Thankful to everyone there and for the opportunity. More pics to come from this summer!

5th summer at Bucks Rock. I will forever love this place. Was not a easy summer but it by no means is synonymous with bad. The love and care I have for everyone in this series of photos is limitless. Bucks rock made me fall in love with teaching, with glass, and with managing a non profit studio. Ain’t it fun✨ #bucksrock #summercamp #glassartists #glassblowers #bestjobintheworld

Please join us for a celebration of life in memory of Albert Young on Saturday, April 5, between 3:00 and 7:00PM ET at Michigan Hot Glass 1604 Clay St. Suite 201
Detroit MI 48211. The studio is where friends and family gathered through the years and the place most fitting for celebrating Albert’s life. If you are a musician, please feel free to bring your instrument and play a tune or sing a song in Albert’s memory. If you are a glassblower, please feel free to stop by and blow a piece to remember him by. The family would love a handwritten memory you have of Albert and there will be a place to write something while there, or leave something you wrote beforehand. Let’s get together and share some time to remember Albert in a space he created and loved, a place that was uniquely him, and where so many wonderful memories were made. The gallery will feature Albert’s work through the years, and light snacks and beverages will be served.
