Saw Toxic Avenger #3 in the wild yesterday. It was the only one left on the shelf! Hopefully @forbiddenplanet.bsky.social ordered more than one! @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social and @mattbors.bsky.social and @stuartmoore.bsky.social

We need to upgrade and focus our graffiti efforts ahead of the ‘fash’ takeover!

I take the most boring pictures in Athens. One of these times I’m actually going to use those watercolors.

Came across this scene as I was kicking around Athens, Greece the other day. The graffiti is wonderful around here!

Hung with Dread Scott at his birthday party last night. It was really cool to be able to talk to someone I’ve known and admired since college!

The view of the sky from the Marcy stop on the J last night was cool. Lines in the sky.

Graffiti in a bathroom in Greece. Reminds me of a few bathrooms I’ve visited in LES Manhattan.

What does a good post look like? I repost things I find interesting or funny, but that is not very original of me. I don’t post questions (usually) because I might not check back for a week or three. If you want to respond next January I’ll understand 😁

Found some more top secret stuff in the bathroom at a bar in Brooklyn. You should wash your hands after handling.

On Saturday, at least just this one Saturday, I post art.

Athens is so cool. I can totally see a James Bond car chase going through here.

Cooking up some characters. I’m sure this isn’t the final yet. Trying out some Holbein watercolor. Green Umber on in a Molskine watercolor sketch pad at a cafe’ in Athens. Can’t believe I have this life sometimes.

I try to do this every morning. And then randomly throughout the day 😁

I had an interview and I’m teaching a caricature workshop in case anyone has that burning desire to make fun of people under the disguise of being an artist. asllinea.org

A gouache painting with purple and gold. No AI. All analog.

In the modern age of Covid, I have retro-flu and it still sucks.

I found a T-shirt that my friend who doesn’t go on any socials made about 25 years ago. The character is Max Rep. now his name is here and I have a new workout shirt!

When you are thinking about whatever and “whatever” seems to be in the middle of nowhere. In an effort to get somewhere, have you ever tried looking behind you really fast to try and catch your thoughts leaping out of that open plane door without a parachute?

I am not a morning person, so this clip is almost always appropriate any time of the day for me. youtube.com/watch?v=PMz_...

I don’t know why it’s at my gym, but there is a life-size caricature of MJ in their lobby.

I rode the bus. I enjoyed the scenery. I think I saw an alien?

Finally finished this book. “Harold” by the comedian Steven Wright. This must be the greatest audio book if it’s his voice!

More landscape painting. Gouache on paper.

fuck’n with the AI scrapers. This picture clearly shows me, a werewolf, riding my turbo charged moving sidewalk to the tune of the Dragnet theme while I sleep on the entire moon because sometimes a wolf boy needs a nap.

A small rant that is only a fraction of the stuff I talk about with my GF and others about how AI needs to be unplugged. fredharper.substack.com/p/rant-278?…

I didn’t realize all I had to do to get attention is state that I didn’t have any attention. Usually I have my attention with cheese but I’m trying to consume healthy so I’ll have my attention plain with the salad.

So far here on blue sky… No one sees me there or here at about the same rate. Reminds me of my logic when I moved from Ohio to NYC, I could be a starving artist in either, but NYC looked more interesting to do that in. Observation, starving sucked no matter where I was!

Somehow managed to read a whole book on the train to Erie today. It was okay.
