Autistic, queer, quadrilateral. I explore the unseen (too small, too large, disagreeable, dead) and the workings of time and memory. No AI.

Light blue, yellow, and teal. Faces, creatures, and maybe something like a pencil sharpener.

#art #humanart #abstract
Abstract with face in silhouette behind colorful organic and geometric shapes. There are lots of creatures here in the sky and on the ground. Overhead the chaos is brewing, but she is protected and honored. Colors are brown, pink, purple, and pale yellow.

The Sheila Twist
#art #humanart
Vague study in purple and green with plants, animals, others. Lines range from stringy to fuzzy for no apparent reason. Possible monsters just off the globe. Gigantic bacteria. Faces.

Taxonomy of minor faux pas
#art #abstract #humanart
1)Forgetting to ask about the baby. 2) Not complimenting the broccoli or wallpaper. 3)Asking new acquaintances to call you “Cookie.” 4) Seeing things. 5) That one episode of Modern Family. 6)Stcking your head in an oil funnel. 7) Literally. 8)Pretending to be an "artist." 9. Being too vague. 10. Being too specific. These are the faux pas Visually, kind of swirly with creatures shades of blue, pink, yellow, and green. Seeing things. That one episode of Modern Family. Sticking your head in an oil funnel. Literally. Pretending to be an artist. Being too vague. Being too specific.

How can I tell this? How could I know what you might see here? Start with purple,light green, a face you can see right through. A ritual in mountains. He carries constellations in the cerebellum. His friends are not animals you've heard of. The others worship or fear him, most likely because they cannot see their own constellations. We understand that none of this is what you meant to see.

Abstract landscape in blue, green, and gold. Simple shapes overlapping, rocks, cave, skulls, marble, sky, graffiti. Possible frog, fish. Scars left by something not here anymore.

Stone walls, impossible door, improbable stairs. A lage hole in the wall allows you to see inside where a small blocky person is standing around a few vague objects. Also found the damn Kool-Aid guy again.

Bridge
#art #abstract #humanart
Abstracted landscape in grey and greens. There ia a body of water in the foreground, a bridge in back, scattered scribbled figures. There is a ladder and some fencing around a large hole where it looks like a giant skull is being raised or lowered.

Green, yellow, gold, and black abstract painting. Quite a few creatures and emerging stars. Rhetorical telescopy. Far away.

Real at the time
#art #humanart #abstract
A face, a cave or a tree. A sleeping friend, a rumpled bear. Pottery and bones. Some things that used to be here before everything was taken. Brown, tan, black, and green.

Reckoning
#art #humanart
Abstract dominated by purples and blues. Filled with creatures that crawl or fly or walk. There is something to be done, a group task for isolationists. See the faces for further instruction.

OH NO!! The jig is up!!

A 6-panel cartoon drawn in black and white. Panel 1: Drawing of a person with spiky hair and glasses is seen peering from behind a laptop, apparently looking at the screen. Text reads: "I tend to keep online privacy settings tight" Panel 2: Drawing of the same character is now shown from behind, so just the spiky hair shows up, but you can now see the computer screen. On it are two rectangular tabs. One says "Accept all cookies" and the other says "Confirm my choices." The latter button is highlighted with lines coming out from it as though that is the one being chosen. Text above the image reads: : "... In an attempt to dodge any algorithm of targeted ads." Panel 3: Drawing of just the eyes and glasses and eyebrows of the character, looking sideways in a suspicious manner. Text above the image reads: "And although I know it is probably all a mirage (to believe I have any actual control over anything)," Panel 4: Image shows a computer screen with words as if from advertisements popping up on the screen, which include: "Meaningful Beauty!!" ; "Reshape your body!" ; "$!" ; "Celebrity Cruise!!" Text above reads: "I still get a strange satisfaction when the ads I see are way off base for me." Panel 5: Image shows the same computer screen, but now with different words from advertisements popping up on the screen, which include: "Sensible shoes!" ; "Best treads!" ; "Comfy footwear!" Text above reads: "But the other day, something different started filling my ad 'feed'...and all I could think was..." Panel 6: Drawing of the same eyes and glasses as in panel 3, but now with a surprised or shocked expression. Text around the inage reads: "OH NO!! The jig is up!! They finally got me!" With a drawing of both a scared emoji and a laughing emoji right next to the quote.

Judgment call
#art #abstract #dystopia #humanart
Abstract in muddy colors. A face-like shape fills more than half of the page. The rest of it might suggest a series of snapshots. Brown, grey, and purple with some bright colors confined to small areas.

#art #abstract #humanart
Honestly there is a lot of fog. The usual suspects are here hidden in shadow, buildings and people and creatures. Fog makes it hard to see. For some but not all people the eyes adjust given a little time. If you looked at this, what did you see?
