here's a scribble i finished a year ago today (still available $150)

the idea behind this...got high & was thinking about giant monsters & robots as one does & got to thinking that maybe they don't want to destroy buildings & cities but they also have mortgages to pay

#RobotArt 🤖🎨 #Robots
a giant robot stands next to an Art Deco building he's about to destroy, he waves sheepishly. the building and the foreground are red and covered in a crosshatching pattern, the robot is blue and covered in crosshatching and the sky is yellow, across the sky it says:"The light inside has broken but i still work".

#SelfPortrait #MarkerArt #StarvingArtist
a self portrait of me in markers, i'm beardy with long hair with my arms resting on a guitar. everything is done in pointillism and crosshatching and the background is a geometric grid of sorts with square and rectangular shapes, the colors are green, yellow and blue.

Some of us still shop at Target and Amazon, stream Hulu, jam R. Kelly, plan Black Friday runs, watch the NFL, and can’t go a day without talking to MAGA relatives yet we expect hundreds of thousands of workers to keep sacrificing their paychecks during a shutdown. But we screaming about caving.

i don't want to hear shit about resisting or protesting otherwise
