This is exactly why I’m not trusting any of these polls for NJ Governor (and they keep coming, every day). The questions are getting really weird. Like how on earth am I supposed to sum up what I’ve heard about the election in a few words? Weird.

This this this. The people most vulnerable somehow aren’t being reached by messaging (I blame algorithms and the push for more and more online stuff, at least in part) and we have to fix it.

Hey if you’re in Jersey City, I’m doing this project with a local food influencer where I’m going to be lecturing about art history… but with snacks!

Spent the first part of the day optimistically downloading and setting up my new self care app that comes with an adorable virtual pet you take care of and the later part of the day plotting to murder said virtual pet.
Shut up Baby Waffle! I’ve got enough to deal with over here.

Yeah I’m thinking McGreevey or maybe HCDO (they’ve been tossing a LOT of polls at us). There are some of the screening questions that have to do with the governor’s race too but I don’t see why you’d poll just JC people for that.

I guess I’m just surprised about them paying people — and not paying an insignificant amount? It looks like they’re pre screening folks. (I’m guessing this is the McGreevey campaign because they have so much $$ but I don’t honestly know.)

I’m going to have these available at the Mana Open Studios in May for $50 each. I’m trying to play around with making more art at a more affordable price point for folks and this is my first go at that. Also, here is a video of me flipping through it!

Here’s the last two — so it’s five Lino cuts plus a cover, and it’s stapled down the side. If you want, you can keep it as is, and if you prefer to have stuff for your wall, you can cut the staples out (the prints have a bit of a margin so they should be centered if you do that). +

It’s finally here!! I’ve completed an initial run of this artist book I’ve been working on called How To Survive This Moment. Here’s the initial pages, more in the next post. (My hand is in the pic to give you a sense of scale, I swear.) +

I’m curious about this. Is “liberal” to the right of “moderate”? It’s just interesting to me how these terms have changed over time.
Also, could I bribe you to not refer to everyone on the far left as “socialist”? It’s not a huge tent, but it’s def bigger than just that. +

Hey if you’re in Red Bank, NJ, there’s a really cool show opening there next week and it’s named after one of my pieces! Galerie Lucida is a real gem and worth it to check out.

I’ve been working on a series of prints called How To Survive This Moment and here’s a sneak peak! There will be at least five when this is done, including these plus Love Everyone You Can, Break Free, and Don’t Snitch. (These are just tests — better prints coming!)
