You become an artist despite not because. -Garry Winogrand

I just finished a new painting

1899. 126 years ago.

I’m reminded again that people born since 1991 aren’t only disinterested in Cold War history, they don’t like people who were alive during it. Being an 80s kid who woke up crying from nightmares about my family getting nuclear bombed, that bums me out

The dead have no politics

A lyric from my favorite Talking Heads song just came to mind And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Oh-oh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all Oh-oh, what a day that was

I’m about to become full-on grammar police. This has been boiling up in me for a long time. I don’t understand every third post, tweet, or whatever they are called now. It’s as if sentence structure has been totally abandoned in online communication since the 1990s.

This is our None Of The Above 2026 design which will be available on the website tonight youtu.be/BIUU_Liiyw0?...

Maybe there will be more saying “this is wrong” this time. It felt pretty lonely last time. Maybe

I have a feeling 2026 is going to be the end of Twitter or X or whatever it’s called now. Some of us have been aware for years that it’s never going to be what people think it is and the people sinking tons of resources into keeping it going are slowly realizing that reality

One of our favorite players ever is our latest addition to the Inter Stelle series jrbell.substack.com/p/inter-stel...

We’re sharing a new project on our substack page. Here’s the first one jrbell.substack.com/p/inter-stel...

I split with a guy in like 1998 and I met the gf who he dated after me and she was goth as heck. We got along great even tho I was a boho hippie 70s chick. When they broke up she and I got drunk and hooked up with 2 random guys we met at a hipster bar who had pretty much the same experience

I just read 2 entirely opposite analyses of the new controversy in Minnesota and I came to a conclusion: politics, particularly as practiced by both Ds and Rs, is so incredibly dumb and an almost unbelievable waste of time. In fact, I apologize to you if you read this

It’s a great day to delete your posts

We visited Columbus, Indiana on Christmas Eve and we made a video of one of the buildings we saw youtu.be/ugpfO-gT7cY?...

I like this painting of apples

I don’t know if we’re going to bomb Venezuela, but this is the most depressed as a pacifist I’ve been about our country since I realized Obama was as big of a war fiend as Bush was

Politics is a human creation, and it is arguably one of the more inhuman creations of humans

Both Ds and Rs suck and they think people are dumb

Here’s our two newest designs. Who knows what movie inspired the “Foods for Health” shirt we made? It’s one of our favorites…

'The Star.' (1914) Cristina Asquith Baker's serene picture owes a great deal to the powerful storytelling of Puvis de Chavannes; stylistically her work also followed the same Italian Quattrocento influences.

I cut some new blocks today. Sanding tomorrow

I’ve never been on a task force. For some reason, that makes me happy

When I was 20 and she was 19, my best friend asked me why I go on. I said because I want to see what happens tomorrow. That made her smile. I think about that moment a lot

Here’s our latest upcycled one of a kind sweater, available in our shop now. Thanks. youtu.be/jthzcersxDc?...

My mom’s been a Dodgers since they were in Brooklyn and she just told me that’s the best Dodgers game she’s ever seen. Holy cats

I can't feel my hands

This is too much
