The very first episode of the Femininity in the Post-Apocalypse podcast is here! The inaugural episode is titled, "Mad Max with Aaron C Packard plus Sonia Hernandez Packard." Photographer Aaron C Packard and I casually discuss Mad Max from 1979, and we rate it on the Maenad-O-Meter. Jewelry maker Sonia Hernandez Packard receives the Honorary Doctor of Dystopian Studies degree from the Unaccredited College of Klaire.
After you finish creating an amazing work of art, you’ll want to label it. Labeling art will help you stay organized, curators often require documentation, and collectors will appreciate the historic record. I’ll guide you through what information you should include on the label plus I will demonstrate how to create a label. The complete “Labeling Art” video guide is available at the Unaccredited College of Klaire.
I'm launching a new podcast! It's called Femininity in the Post-Apocalypse, and I can't wait for you to listen. I just published the trailer.

Let's Sketch a Skull Together (Drinks are Optional) Don't want to go out tonight, but you want to do something fun? Pour yourself a drink and let’s make a sketch together! I’m going to show you how to draw a skull by breaking it down into smaller forms, refining lines, and adding shadows. All you need you for this project is a pencil, an eraser, and a piece of paper. The drink is optional, but you might want to toast yourself after you finish your drawing because you’ll be so proud of your work! The complete "Drink and Draw: Skull" video demonstration is available at the Unaccredited College of Klaire.

Let me tell you about about my painting called Brodalisque Couchée en Westfalia, which features a reclining man wearing Rick and Morty socks while lounging in a Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Camper Van. This is one of my earliest paintings from my series of dudes in man caves. This painting was accepted by New American Paintings, but it almost didn't exist! Brodalisque Couchée en Westfalia will be on display at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska as part of the Benefit Art Auction October 13th through the 27th. Bidding ends October 27th, 2023. Erin Rydgren wrote "Overly Dramatic Opens at Sanford" about the duo exhibition featuring photographs by Aaron C Packard alongside my paintings at the Sanford Museum. The article was published by the Cherokee Chronicle Times.
