by AJB 

2024

​

Page 1:

I am a textile artist

but let's face it I make other shit too

​

Page 2:

I want my art to promote textiles as a fine art medium and AGGRESSIVELY 

express my authentic self

(and make my loved ones happy)

 

Page 3:

In this fucking world at least

I have the power to make some

thing beautiful or interesting

or that can keep my

loved ones warn

 

Page 4:

maybe all three when I'm really on my game 

 

Page 5:

I reject the sanctimonious, erudite phonies who gatekeep creativity and make "art" they don't care about

 

Page 6:

I embrace the skill, heratige, and frenetic, passionate energy of artists who create with GUTS

 

Back cover:

I am going to deck this world out with funny, spooky, joyful textile art
