My #Dune original drawings are up for grabs. I enjoyed creating them all, including "Paul's Dream / What's in the Box?"
16”x20”. 20"x24" w/ matte. Graphite on Strathmore.
If you see one you want, LMK. It's the holidays, so I might wiggle on numbers for friends. ;) johnpicacio.com/product-cate...

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.
You have no idea how much I despite these anti-science dipshits for making pregnant women terrified of taking (safe, mild, proven) pain relief.
