Unironically, Japan does not allow Ritalin for ADHD at all, but does for narcolepsy.

I was expecting the examples to have real gravitas. Or compete with original thought. But no. Not at all. Criticizing using it as a search engine to get options for outings/events is a cheap shot. Why not instead value having better things to do than sort through regular search engine options?

Exactly. We can also eschew the logical fallacies of bad argument that has dominated the political scene. This was the right decision on its own merits. But many drs/APNs had been adjusting appropriately for years now. So this is also no pivot in terms of practice. Admin gets to formalize it though.

This matters so much. We are experiencing far more humans on screens-only than in real life. I quit my tech/healthcare investing job to make art with paint, canvas and paper in a studio. Sometimes I also make art about robots and tech coming for us but I don’t really post those online.

Oil painting on Stonehenge paper (which I love, texture-wise, like board, for detailed rendering). Limited gamut masking palette. Restaurant in Asheville, NC at closing time. References were old photos from a decade ago. There are a few wonky spots to clean up. 🧽 📏 📐 🎨 #art #painting #asheville

I am not a big social media person as an artist so have to remind myself to come around and post some things. Here are 4 recent 5x7 inch oil paintings! Metal objects series. #art #oilpainting #metal

This oil painting: A moment in a copper rectangle. Speaking of rectangles, need to work on the left side casement window that is propped open.

Painting of a window seat area, in a blue room. The sun has broken through mist after rain, seen outside.

The purpose if this was to paint fast. This was a real change-up for me. It’s a loose style. I could see doing a series of small paintings, likely leave unframed and make them available for sale at October’s POST (Philadelphia Open Studio Tours) weekend. I am more partial to the one on the left:

A friend applied for residency in Portugal and got it. Doesn’t have connections. Just picked it. Selling house, moving there. Crash coursing language studies.

My daughter in my new studio space. I hear gunfire the whole time from the shooting range across the street but I don’t mind. I do indulge the surreal and our relationship to our time and to technology - and the ice cream truck rolls around and plays its music alongside the gunfire. #philly #studio

I have a Salmon of Knowledge flag on my house, just confusing the neighbors in hot political times over here.

A little painting from autumn. This may be the first and last time I try to paint like this with (the tiny pointy end of a) palette knife. I admire those who can paint with its broad edge as if spreading jam on toast.

A short guide to how my art is generated in my head. At left, the muse enters with my kettle, puts on water for my current favorite coffee*. I, on right, get to work despite being broken. *Sigmatic Think currently. Don’t worry if you drink this too. It can’t possibly be responsible for maximalism.

Excellent use of texture. It looks matte and like a thick fibrous paper in its texture. Love. It works so well with the rest. Sometimes I see what looks like texture for texture’s sake rather than what can bring depth/layers/masking to the piece.

I take a break from the regular painting and drawing broadcast to bring you #Metropolis mood. Amazing 1927 film. Take a break, regroup, cool down, go back to visual language. Say something, even if only about a moment:

An oil painting from May 2024. Vintage thermos. 1970s-1980s. Pure nostalgia, with a drawing pad backdrop. #bsky.art #FebruArty

Hand sketches. Some say they don’t like drawing or painting hands. I think I have spent a lot of time in life noticing hands. They tell stories. Mine have lifted babies, worked crops, painted, typed long papers, opened portals, climbed mountains, raised up to speak and pulled into fists.

I once found a massive bug in a bananas bag. It looked like a mosquito but much, much bigger and built like a tank. I brought it to an entomologist at Upenn where I was a grad student. He said: *WOW I don’t know what that is!* I think it still lives in a Tupperware™️ container in his office?

You’ll be so happy you employed this method! And while the dampness can make the paint a little looser, it’s perfect for heavy body acrylics for that reason: A glob will stay thicker at its top where it maintains that body while the moisture still comes through, prevents drying.

I use oil but also love acrylics. I hated the waste though. For any artists who follow me and who have encountered frustration with fast-drying acrylics. I discovered these wet palettes that game miniatures (figurine) painters use. You can get days instead of minutes out of it.

The mental muse as exists in my neurospicey mind and who helps me carry on and make art during The Era of Imperial Authoritarian Oligarchies.

We went to a movie that had a poor Tomato-meter rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was also not a romantic or sexy movie. Follow me for more great tips. 💌
