Maybe I'll start posting some little commercials again. It's a good day to scream into the void.

Most of social media is just millions and millions of people posting billions and billions of little commercials about themselves.

A fun project I've been working on: #zombie finger hooks! Possibly for sale if I get enough interest. Good for #Halloween and other #creepy #gothic #horror #decor. The #vampire finger's nail is made of metal and no, is not for sale. HMU if you're interested. #art #popart #monster #scary #brains 1/3

some wealthy patron should give me a bunch of money to write an essay about spending a week in a fancy sleeper car on a train. I probably wouldn't have anything insightful to say but the whole time I'd be like "WHEEEEE!!"

Generative AI is a scam built by people who have never made anything of value, of beauty, in their lives—who have only preyed upon and destroyed. You can come take my work from my cold dead hands—after reasonable decades have passed. That’s what copyright law says and that’s why we have it.

The Hidden Almanac Feast Days @hiddenalmanac.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

9 April is the Feast Day of Saint Fabriano, patron of art supplies. St. Fabriano is invoked whenever the artist has found a truly wonderful tool, which is then promptly discontinued. A timely prayer to St. Fabriano is believed to be effective at locating quantities of these objects on clearance.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Full of people down 5th avenue, view from 39th Street.

PLEASE. I beg everybody who claim they can’t do art to actively take somebtime out of their daily routine to practice it. Grab some paper. Grab a pencil. Grab simple things at the store. Sit down. Watch tutorials, read some books about art, look through art books. Try.

I love being reminded that Emily Dickinson was great, actually

I died for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.

He questioned softly why I failed?
“For beauty,” I replied.”
And I for truth – the two are one;
We brethren are,” he said.

And so, as kinsmen met a-night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.

COFFEE THOUGHTS: With instant connectivity, when someone you rarely hear from anymore says "I miss you", it begs the question: Do they miss *you*, or do they miss who you *used* to be? Or do they really just miss who *they* used to be, in the old days, hanging around with who you used to be?

Spotted along the road in my conservative little mid-Michigan town. I'm positive there are some people here I could be friends with, if I could only find them. Either that or it's the opening shot of a lot of movies I've seen and I probably should just keep driving.

STOP. PUTTING. APOSTROPHES. ON. PLURAL. WORDS. ALSO: "IT'S" means "IT IS." THE POSSESSIVE OF "IT" is "ITS". *head explodes* I am all about the natural evolution of language and grammar and punctuation, but it needs to make sense. Random apostrophes don't make sense.
