Just a little preview of what these will look like in place. I went with a nice clean 10 white grid tile because it felt retro and modern and it was on sale

For the metallic finish on my Mandalorian helmet, I buffed on graphite powder! I protected the finish with a gloss clear coat and then used water-mixable oil paints to add some contrast.

Always reorganizing the shop. Is it a necessity or a sickness?

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

Helping with a Cacao Exhibit at Hawai'i Keiki Museum. I didn't design this, but I'm making it more "kid proof." Kids are tough on exhibits.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

This path was definitely pretty close to my own. I know multiple car enthusiasts who have gone on similar journeys with EVs, going from skeptics to evangelists. There just aren’t a lot of things in life that are win/win/win like switching from a gas car to an #ev
The EV adoption cycle is as follows almost always
1) evs are a fad
2) evs are fine but I’d miss the feel of a real car too much
3) I’ll try an ev
4) wait…I love this?
5) Let me tell you all about ev’s, friend

Remember when the Democratic Party party turned on David Hogg for suggesting we should primary the types of senators who would do shit like fold in half at the worst possible time, resulting in millions of Americans getting fucked over a barrel?

Test for volcano exhibit. Fabric is a bit too heavy and opaque. Maybe I'll try tulle?

(Interesting you can see a spiral vortex. A twist.)

#EV drivers say charging at home is like having a gas pump in your driveway... except having a petrol pump at home would be like living in a toxic waste site. I love that @zaptec.bsky.social fully visualized what that would be like 🤣:
