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

Athena #art #abstract #humanart

A mapfaced plant or animal, head bursting wtih fuzzy birdbee. Creatures and faces assembling and dissembling all around.

Keep warm #art #humanart

We are in a cave. The light outside is yellow. A pile up of faces and half seen animals, intimations regarding a city of ash, a world resetting, a universe emerging from behind burned out eyes. Another recycled sketch. It's dark and I like it that way.

What time were you there? I almost bought that Lil' Jerk too!

Pathways #art #abstract #humanart

Forest, rain, creatures, noise, cold, soaking rain, ghosts, map, rain, pathways. Failure.

In the air #art #air #abstract #humanart

Some kind of creature is juggling with false hands or is swept away in a flight of ideas or is coming to understand that the Talking Heads were right: Air can hurt you too.

MOOD.

A two-panel cartoon arranged vertically inside a thick square frame. Above the frame, the title "SPECTRUM" is drawn in block letters with stripes throughout. Written sideways next to that: "by A Girl Named Earl"

Top panel: two people are standing near a sign that reads "art market" looking at artworks up on the wall. The person on the left says "Ya know... You should really think about sharing your art ONLINE. It would get SO much more EXPOSURE that way!" The person on the right reacts with a smile. Two exclamation points are above their head, indicating excitement.

Bottom panel: person on the right from the first panel is shown now looking at a giant computer screen with a troubled expression. The screen is so full of artworks that their own art is lost in the mix. There are chaotic zig zag lines coming out from the computer screen, and question marks and lightning bolts above the person's head, indicating confusion.

Cartoon subtitle: Oversaturation

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

One September over another. It adds up. Scribbles and shapes with unintended faces.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
