During the Satanic panic of the 80s, Ozzy was the sensible, safer alternative to bathshit crazy evangelical parenting. Anti-war, critical of capitalism, and a dad that showed up. #Ozzy was a #deconstruction icon. The "Prince of Darkness" was more christ-like than any mega church preacher.

Mixing up some landscape with sharp abstract tones and shapes. "Storm's Comin'."

An older #abstract from when I first started. A Reflections off a #Chicago skyline, named "untitled effort." Related #poem "untitled effort," beside. A day that signaled the death of a relationship, but was the birthplace of art.

Those looking for topical fiction during these funky times should check out After the Revolution by @iwriteok.bsky.social. Also, play Cyberpunk 2077. It'll be good tears and good therapy. Dystopian fiction was supposed to be a warning, not a mirror. Here we are.

Man, #duneprophecy sure landed an incredible season. Worth checking out even if you aren't a Dune fan/familiar. A good fit for the hole left by Agatha All Along. Much darker, but full of witchy sisterhood and regular doses of backstabbing. #dune
