Another reason why I do not use Facebook, Instagram et al. Artists need to stop making excuses, get off Instagram and get a website. You all have access to tools and friends that can help.

I’m drawing 76 Black people who freed themselves from enslavement in 1776. This is Gabriel. He escaped with Ben. I’ll post that drawing soon. The foliage in the background is from a recent photo from the bridge where he was last spotted before his escape. That bridge is still in existence today.

Can you send a glove in the mail? Yes you can! I sent Maxie Eulig mail art for an exhibition in Germany with the theme “Art of the Hand” — I received this glove in the mail as a thank you. #mailart #postal

Or, Waymo could proactively make its app tell users whose requested trip is easily served by a public transit route when the next bus or train is departing from the nearby stop. I feel this should be compulsory!

Got excited at MUNI Heritage Weekend when I saw this vintage bus and hoped they had brought back the #76. I really miss taking a MUNI bus to the Marin Headlands and Rodeo Beach. 🚍🥾🏄🏽 #SanFrancisco

The teachers that are poorly paid, the classrooms in need of new books and better equipment, the people living on the streets and in their cars, the expensive prescriptions that can't be purchased, the hungry here and around the world, etc. — and yet, $246 million a day. 😡

I like creating mail art that the recipients can hide in a book, forget it is there, and find it years later. A new batch is in the outgoing mail today. #art #postal #mailart #mixedmedia #books

When a kid that likes to draw is gifted a nice sketchbook from a “real” artist, they feel extra special and are encouraged to keep drawing.

Even in a society that is deeply polarized, when you visit a place like Yosemite you see a broad cross section of Americans and international travelers. And no matter our differences, there is a collective sense of joy at the profound beauty of nature. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Also, AOC now has no choice but to run in 2028. The constitution establishes that you are obligated to run for president once a campaign poster has been made out of split peas. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules

In the 1980s there was a shop in Zürich where the floor tiles were about 30cm square — each "tile" was made from compressed, empty tubes of toothpaste, tomato paste, mustard, etc. The floor squished a bit when you walked on it.

Can you print with rubber bands? Yes! The trick is to wrap them around a little wooden block. Photos courtesy of @ryanzhelp.bsky.social from a demo I did yesterday at the San Francisco Correspondence Coop. #art #printing
