Child is dropped at camp, nervous looks as he scans for friends. They’re coming I say, and he slips out of my reach into the soccer zone. years ago when we last came to this camp I walked with him apparently past the boundary for adults and was swiftly rebuked.

Last Halloween I saw so many Batman’s and so few Mona Lisa’s prowling the streets. Not one Piss Christ knocked on my door but there was a torrent of Storm Troopers. I myself was a Jawa for a few years as a child. And you know what they say, once a Jawa, always a Jawa

funny to see a driver bust through a yield sign into a roundabout and almost hit an oncoming van(me) without even an eye turn of recognition but then continue on to come to a full stop complete with full head swivel at every stop sign. Some folks will Stop, but they’ll never Yield

Friday night lights

time to go swimming aka play drums in my near 90F studio

recently I lost my wallet at Dave’s market. Luckily it was returned to my house that evening. I had gone looking for it & the cashier told me I was the second person in her line to lose a wallet that day. Yesterday, I saw a wallet fly out of a man’s hand & fall to the floor unnoticed… at Daves

I don’t really know how to paint but I’ve crafted a long multi medium career out of the age old artistic concept “fuck around and find out”

4 details from the 6 foot behemoth. Now I just need to name it

Time to get this months long six foot behemoth en route to its final destination

if there is anything more adverse to love and warmth it is an H pencil of any number. more knife than graphite

And of course because one should be spread as fair and wide as possible I’m on Substack too open.substack.com/pub/brianchi...

adding in chapter pages because they deepen the vibe

I always pay using Cash Patel when I’m buying booze

Remind me Trumps kids name? The 8 foot tall one is Barren and the other two are both Don Jr and then there’s a bunch of girls with iterations on Ivan. An Ivan in college with me got wasted when we were climbing up on the RISD museum roof and then he broke a rib & we had to lower him down by hand

The President can mock any number of people in need but if he mocks God OH MY GOD! a bridge too far for the Christian masses, who’s worship of power trumps any practice of helping people in need

I put on the mask so everyone else can take theirs off

Whelp my family’s health insurance is about to skyrocket and we’re dumping billions into war with Iran. Is Israel the 51st state? WTF. hope all the MAGA and MAHA voters are enjoying the rewards of their vote

Trumps only unifying policy approach is this… “you coat it with a thin layer of gold paint and you admire your reflection in it”
