I have been making my dumb life from drawing my little guys and stuff for more than 15 years now and I would like to continue to and you can help...

A screen print featuring head shots of 8 soviet dogs which were sent to orbit from 1957 to 1966, all surrounding the original canine cosmonaut Laika. A red star and banner at the top reads 'Soviet Space Dogs' next to illustrations of two different orbital capsules used in the program. All text is in Russian. An oil painting of a red human skull with a bright orange outline against a collage of '80s Japanese wrestling magazine pages. Picture of wrestlers, wrestling, and a lot of Japanese text, presumably about wrestling. A digital illustration of a spectral owl, with cephalopod arms where its legs would have been. The owl has two arrows embedded in its ghostly body. There is a stylized human skull tied to the top of its head which also has an arrow in it. Night sky, a bare tree, clouds, and a full moon are the background. A black t-shirt with an image of a Black Crowned Night Heron: a medium-sized bird with a whitish chest/belly, dark blue-black wing tops and crown, a black spearlike bill, red eyes, and proportionally long yellow legs with long toes, slightly webbed standing on a stylized rock, with a green rushing river and blue sky behind. An actual bejeweled black crown is suspended over the bird's head and a golden beam of light is coming from within it down onto the regal heron. All this is within an elaborate frame rendered to look like patinated wrought iron. As part of the frame, arcing over the bird's head on either side of the crown it reads BLACK CROWNED, and below the birds feet are the words NIGHT HERON.

A round low yellow platform on which we see standing a hot dog bun with cartoon arms and legs. The bun is patting with one hand a red frankfurter with cartoon arms that is perched on a little stand in an obeisant posture. They are clearly working up to a tremendous stunt. A banner matching the platform is suspended over the scene by mauve columns. The background is a gradated, muted green with a few stylized sparkles on it. On the banner and the front of the platform are the words, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’

Trying other things as well. Sorry this is as useful as I can be.
Bold block sans serif letters spelling out FUCK ICE in the style of the Minnesota flag. The letters are all smashed up together. The FUCK is in dark blue with the inside shape of the C defined by the 8-pointed star from the MN flag. The angle in the K is the same as the chevron from the MN flag. ICE is colored in light blue. Lined gradients in matching blues behind the letters fill out the color blocks somewhat while still letting the letters read.

Trying to make a more t-shirty version of this thing. If anyone is into it speak up...
An 8-pointed star as seen on the flag of Minnesota, with thick double strokes of the two shades of blue from the flag. Cutting across the star in bold block letters are the words 'ICE OUT' within which are the same shades of blue and the chevron and star from the flag inside the E in ICE. Overlapping the bottom bit of the type, and within the star shape itself, is a common loon rearing back in the water as it fires red lasers from its eyes that are blasting against the inside edge of the star shape. An arc of thinner sans serif type in a circular arc around the bottom of the star reads 'LIBERATE MINNESOTA'.

Why didn’t the soldiers on Omaha Beach simply get back on their boats and go home?

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

First time watching Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) and so far my favorite bit is Kris Kristofferson sauntering through the door of a breakfast joint the minute it opens with an open beer

A common loon (a duck-shaped water bird with a pointy beak, black with patterns of white spots and a green neck ring and red eyes) seen 3/4 from behind story of rearing back from a green lake with its wings spread as it fires lasers from its eyes at a block of ice floating in the same water. Large block text above in the background stretching to the top edge and both sides filled with translucent white reads FUCK ICE with the words separated by the 8-pointed start from the Minnesota flag.

A black and white ink style illustration of a falling anvil with a downward-pointing arrow shape behind it. Above the anvil in the back of the arrow shape are the words ‘MAYBE IT’LL’. Across the side of the anvil is the word ‘HAPPEN’ and in the point of the arrow below the anvil is the word ‘TODAY’

Here’s some stuff I look at every day
Center frame is the indifferent face of a fluffy gray cat. Behind him can be seen part of my fake fireplace and a lot of stuff on it and around it: sculptures I’ve made, a warthog skull, framed art/posters. And on the right an Ikea bookshelf that holds old Polaroid cameras, toys and baubles, a little lineup of models of favorite Star Trek ships, even a couple books at the bottom.

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Ed Harris addressing Alan Arkin in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992): You say the Nazis in Europe... "If they came in my door"... Ed Harris addressing Alan Arkin in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992): bullshit, the time is now. What do you do now?

Abolish ICE absolutely but also repeal the law that created the department of homeland security in the first place. It was a naked power grab at the time and now that we see how it will be abused it has to go.

I’m just now realizing that Superman (2025) got zero Oscar nominations despite it being my comfort movie of the last half year. And this is why you don’t have to care about movie awards.

Digital illustration in a black and white graphite/charcoal style. The title character of Nosferatu (2024) is advancing toward you with his big mustache and one hand reaching from under his big furry coat. Probably with ill intent. You are free to imagine that Orlock is in fact about to really give the business to someone who actually deserves it. Whoever you like. As the scratchy lettering around his head says, ‘maybe it will happen today’.
