When the gallery you’re installing in has an unsightly thermostat… put a bird on it? #printmaking #sciart #grackle

Now in Gunmetal Grey!

I started this print in 2019-2020. It never felt quite finished so I never really printed it (plus I started the drawing on the block so the mirrored composition was a bit awkward). Then I found it in my flat files when looking for another block and thought, “eh, it’s not so bad actually.” #linocut

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

Last semester one of my students asked me how I keep my cats off my art projects and I told them, “I don’t.” It’s an impossible task. 🥲

I think that if your article contains information that is a matter of public health (i.e. egg recalls) you shouldn’t have it behind a paywall. I understand that not every article can be free but come on.

I hate how the solution to Phoenix’s heat problem is SO obvious but it involves people coming together from both sides to work towards the benefit of all mankind. It also involves prioritizing people over corporations. So in short… it likely won’t happen.

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

I’ve made peace with the French team so far because they’re very good and the players are likable this year and they play daft punk after each goal (very endearing). However… I must put back on my hater hat for the France v Spain game. I’m very sorry, Chickens 🐓 I cannot root against a family team 🇪🇸

Oh no. I messed up. I got my partner who is not into soccer to watch the World Cup with me. Now he is sad that Mexico lost. He could’ve lived a carefree life unburdened by a team’s inability to score a goal when they needed it most.

I played soccer from the age of 6 to 16. At some point during that time my mom bought me this team USA Brava sponsor jersey. I can find no information about this jersey online but it remains the only team USA merch I own. I’m 80% sure it was for the USWNT but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So fun fact! You can’t return to the game until they’ve patched you up. They simply will not allow you to play while actively bleeding/covered in blood. You need at least bandaid first.

I genuinely do not know where my beef with the Netherlands national team comes from but I can’t bring myself to root for them. I loved visiting Amsterdam. I love Dutch art. Stroopwafel? Amazing! Miffy? Stunning! Orange? A beautiful color! But in the World Cup? I am perhaps their biggest hater.
