Hittin’ hard problems…

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Forgot to mention, it went so well!!! We banged out 4 songs in a day thanks a TON of practicing and Andy Clarke, who is beyond excellent at what he does.

Target should do what Walmart and Home Depot do to lure in customers—put all those free grills out front.

Also we’re recording an EP tomorrow at Retro City with our friend Andy!

The new band I’m in is covering Sugar — “Helpless”, which I’m pretty is a sign I’m in the right band.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com Disappointed but not surprised to see the pod bros lend their huge platform to a billionaire so he could shit talk Mamdani. If you guys ever wonder why your “left’s answer to the right’s media ecosystem” goal hasn’t been achieved—it’s because you guys aren’t the left.

Sad I’m going to miss three nights of The Hold Steady in Philly next week. But psyched @thetisburys.bsky.social and @labrador-tunes.bsky.social are on the bill. Have an extra doublewhiskeycokenoice for yer boy.

How I'm feeling today:

Someone please buy me this $999 plus $6.66 shipping vintage Superdrag shirt. I’ll be good ALL YEAR. 🙏 www.ebay.com/itm/15416091...

Quick pencil drawing of my D&D character, Angus. He’s a Path Of The World Tree, Barbarian Goliath. With a farming origin story. He enters his rage mode by recalling the barn door being left open. Do you play D&D? What’s your character?

1980’s 14”x8” Yamaha Recording Custom is repaired and back in action! Digging the Low Boy beater too. Good balance of boom to slap. I think I might try the heavier one?

Wow, Philadelphia Drum & Percussion is such a great shop. ✅ Found me a part for a 40 year old snare drum. ✅ Evans UV heads ✅ New Low Boy Beater (!!) ✅ Promark 2B sticks

Here is my favorite music released this year!... And yes! I made this on my trusty old copy machine. The record I listened to the most was probably Liquid Mike - Paul Bunyan’s Slingshot.

It’s a Superdrag kind of morning… open.spotify.com/track/67o4SP...

Played drums every day except for one since last Monday. Easily better than I’ve been in a long time.

Some recent logotype for @cursivetheband.bsky.social. Made as a part of the Devourer album design project. Looks cool on a pick!

🍁🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🦃🍁 "Snoopy, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" 1988, by Elliot Erwitt.

feel like possibly we could hijack this slogan by having a super freaky and awesome music and lifestyle festival called Conception

New episode is live! ❤️🎨🎧🎉

Playing around with the notion of test prints, a thing all of us printmakers do out of necessity, for a relevant brand ID project —

The Philly animal shelter (ACCT) needs fosters very badly right now, so if you’re in the Philly area and can take a furry friend, now’s a great time to start fostering. I fostered an absurd number during quarantine but stopped when travel picked back up. Time for a litter of kittens 😈

doctor: make sure you drink plenty of fluids me: that’s literally all i drink

Just an observation… all of the positive, funny, creative types I followed on Twitter migrated here. Making this warm and welcoming place. I’m seeing sincerity and it’s refreshing (!!!). Meanwhile Twitter is now almost exclusively the negative engagement folks. What a stark contrast! Yikes.

Sixers fans in Philly talk about the team like they’re cigarettes. “Don’t start if you’re not already addicted. Sure they look fun, but there are harmful side effects.”

people say no obsession or hobby will fill the emptiness inside or do the work of repairing the hurt we carry. you know what kind of people say this. quitters

Assisting our photographer in shooting these new winter hot cups for Rise Up Coffee today!!! (These are just pics I snapped on my phone).

Posting some more @duelyst2.bsky.social work! This animation was made years ago for the first Duelyst, but never made it in. That said, I always loved the special FX I made for it. :) Sprite design by @glauberkotaki.com !

Can God fill teeth? Bring a flash and a mirror to observe… #illustration #lettering #screenprinting

Since Elsie got nominated today for Notable Achievement in Accessibility @indiegameawards.gg I figured it would be a great time to post La Baba Royale jumping (for joy)!

12”x12”, edition of 25! I’m going to pull a 2 color edition of this tomorrow, white and black inks on red paper. Screen printing is fuuuuun!!

REALLY good mail day. Been watching Futurama since I was a kid and I’m a sucker for any book full of process sketches

Some custom lettering samples from this past week or two (feels like months, what even is time?) #design #lettering

Screen printing this tomorrow!

Simpson’s Road Rage

White, black, or color? Leaning towards the black paper/white ink…

#wip for Alternative Tentacles. Part of an #art show curated by Winston Smith and Chick Lewis at Studio Fallout in #SanFrancisco. This is my take on Winston’s classic AT logo. Going to make a #screenprint out of this #illustration, 12”x12”. Maybe 2-3 colors…? Available via Studio Fallout Dec 7th!

Scenes from my afternoon run. First 10 miler since the Rocky Run Saturday.

The classic Bialetti Mocha Pot is an elite espresso maker imo. Easy, fast, and always makes amazing espresso for when you need to drink 4 shots at once and time travel to meet a deadline.

I always imagined the Max Headroom hacker and the Toynbee tiler to be the same person. They are not, but they have the same energy, and it fascinates me.

While you’re here please go follow my two immensely talented brothers - @flexpixeldesign.bsky.social and @andygflex.bsky.social

@rgo.bsky.social please add me to your Philadelphians list, and thank you for making it!
