Autistic, queer, quadrilateral. I scribble mostly things not meant to be seen. No AI, I make my own messes.

Secrets Secrets #art #abstract #humanart

Secrets secrets are no fun. Secrets secrets hurt someone. Sloppy geometrics describe a life made up of broken, dented, and deformed parts, both visible and buried.

Catch #art #humanart

Two accidental grey creatures examine a floating orb.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ana's version #art #abstract #humanart

White black grey/brown and yellow on teal background. Some possibilities: Scientist wearing the face of a wolf strangles a giant ant. A flea believes she is a kitten. Robot takes out the trash. A wizard tries to build a space station using the rusted out parts of carnivals. Cigarettes are still in style.

September 2 #art #abstract #humanart

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The years #art #blue #humanart

Vague objects and their shadows could be books, keepsakes, games, food tins, dashboard. Identifying documents. Many faces showing through. In darkness, the frustration of nearly seeing.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Frames #art #abstract #humanart

A chemist, a goat, and a table saw construct a frame. A person carries a lamp. A fly sleeps. A finger points.

Rat race #art #abstract #humanart

There is a grid and many people turned to stone or turning, a director of mistery pulling the levers and various other VIPs monitoring. There is a rat and a human face, both full of fear, an antique suitcase that doubles as a pickup truck, a couryard, a bookshelf, a graveyard.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Kaput #art #dada #humanart

A face, composed of mostly black and white snapshots floats in light purple space, surrounded by doodled ovals and lines. Someone is yelling in my ear. Below, a person is yelling in front of a pixel city. Mood: Dada.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Victory #art #humanart

Perhaps a knight in battered armor with multiple non-human faces, with maybe a heart made of ice shining through.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Wind #art #automaticdrawing #humanart #pareidolia

Confession: I don't draw things. I find things in the fevered scribblings. Sometimes I refine or define the things but sometimes they are pretty much done. Viewed from a distance, faces switch back and forth. At midrange, I see a ship not far from land with a hard wind blowing down a city. Up close, it all falls apart. Nothing but birds and skulls. Lacking the benefit of pareidolia, probably nothing at all.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

You complete me #art #abstract #humanart

Building and person shapes interact and maybe someone or something is being carried up from the basement or cavern. Repetition, variation, dull brown and greys with a little blue and yellow. Broken house.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Gloaming #art #selfportrait #humanart

Exterior/interior of a human head. Maps, creatures, branches, bones, caverns. A warped floppy disk jamming the works, a black bird singing.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

The Center #art #humanart

The center cannot hold nor the centaur nor the sinner. The center is not the middle, not the nexus. It's just a place. It's showing its age now, adjacent to the smirking woods. Animals are now composed of stone and fog.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Tangle #art #abstract #humanart

A simple tangle of shapes on a sandy background. Oh yeah, and faces. That's all!

Landscape with pond, mountain, and fossils. A giant skull. It could be raining.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Yellow bird #art #humanart

Up high in banana tree. Something like that. In this version, Sam protects the smaller creatures while the tree implores the moon not to bite.

Premonition 26 #art #scribble #humanart

One thing I know is the yellow grass. Another is a narrow entryway forbidden to many. Everything is alive, even, especially, the moon. A scribble of mostly purple and blue characters dressed in thick black lines.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Berenger dream state #art #Rhinoceros #humanart #reflectingpool

Oh my. Everyone has become a Rhinoceros, even the trees, the houses, the stones. I'm never going to change, I promise you. Welcome to another defective reflective pool.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Stay #art #abstract #humanart

Flailing and blubbering, mouth full of fruits, surrounded by everything broken and piles of unfinished business, don't call her a monster, okay, until you've been there yourself. Off white character on black background with green, blue, and gold fragments.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

The Agonies

They don't know their own names and only want to share their strange beauty and their stories. Brightly colored figures of undetermined number and false species.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Fielding #art #humanart

A sketchy white creature in front of a purple tree, surrounded by unlikely vegetation and friends.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Petra #art #abstract #humanart

Petra is i the process of becoming. The purple dog and scattered faces are no match for her scribbled fury. Mostly green and yellow with dark green Rorschach splatter.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Romy #art #scribble #humanart

Scribbled yellow creature and friends.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Confetti #art #egg #humanart

The insides had been excised, the shell filled with color. It was for a celebration. I know it is late now and I don't have the heart to break. This wasn't meant to be done by one person, hard boiled or scrambled.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Pit Party #art #abstract #humanart

Green and yellow figures on an orange/red background with lots of specks in the air.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Ddoug?? #art #humanart

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Details #art #detail #humanart

An abstract walks into a bar. It's name is Fran.Thirded, closer to square, square, square (nearly I said), mammalian, doglike even unless you see caves in which case yes definitely. Just for fun, she says, as if we might do this for any other purpose.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Location #art #map #humanart #selfportrait

An yellowed old map with drifting and cracking face. The word "fine" is to the right of the face. Brown, yellow, white, and green. Location is everything.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

The words #art #abstract #human

The words can be seen but not said. They gather in corners, dusty boxes, body parts, pineapple, leaving marks like prisoners counting down the days. I open my mouth and release a trail of scribble like snail slime.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Autocringe #art #abstract #humanart

Landscape with sketchy animals, red sky, and moss.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Denial is mandatory #art #abstract #humanart

This isn't anything and is meaningless. Is it? Isn't it? Did it mean to look like this? I have no idea. Colors are purple and maroon with some yellow and pink on a dark bacground. Some parts are lit up like neon and they are abstractions but you can read them as faces and if you're like me you can't help it. Something about a bug and a mirror, architertural fonts and fishing gear for the future. Neoclassical paisley noir and planet of the apes. Revisited. Visited? No. Never.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Pearl #art #abstract #humanart

Automatic drawing that reminded me of an oyster but also the skull of a horned animal surrounded by faces, some more hidden than others. Green, gold, brown, and white.

Chalkup #art #abstract #humanart

Imagined and accidental creatures entangled and emerging on a dark background.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Loose ends #art #abstract #humanart

Another pileup of faces. This one looks like it's made of thread and possibly incomplete. One creature at the top might be working to finish it up. Green, purple, and pink.

Rhetorical Square @rhetoricalsquare.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Ensnarlment #art #abstract #humanart

Purple, green, and mustard brown lines and shapes repreenting imagined and entwined creatures and faces.
