Lots of #Chicago work coming. Looking for the less monumental but equally notable parts of the city. The geometry is so beautiful here.

Haven’t done an impulse piercing in a long, long time. Until today. I’m sure this will be a topic of discussion at therapy on Monday.

Most people don’t know I can draw like this, too.

Sketch from the Chicago Field Museum. I’m normally extremely precise with my perspective, but in an attempt to loosen up I’m sketching in ink and without a straight edge. I’m not sure I like it, but it’s getting decent response around the socials.

Freshly back from Chicago So much art to follow, but felt right to start w/ a sketch from our Chinatown hotel b/c the hotel was quite sketchy. That said, Chinatown is a lovely neighborhood and the red line is a block away so the entire city is easily accessible. I highly recommend giving it a go.

Those Chicago fireworks tho…

My feeling is that the most important opportunity for the 2026 midterms is not flipping Congress to the Dems, but flipping the Dems to an actual opposition party.

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

This morning I listened to national network news anchors realize that this country is run by a handful of corporate oligarchs pulling the strings of the govt. They are shocked and appalled that this is suddenly happening. This is a pic of the back cover of my first book. Written in 2015-2016 and

Sat in on a figure drawing “class” this morning. This is the only sketch I did that I liked, but it has been over 20 yrs (!) since I’ve done this. 😳

Just got an email asking me to apply for a thumbnail creator position with Mr Beast. 😬🤢🤮

❗️FBI is reaching out to people who were previously arrested by NJSP during protests outside Delaney Hall. Some have received phone calls or door knocks. National Lawyers Guild is spreading an advisory for people to contact their hotline if feds come knocking:

Work conundrum today: How do I abbreviate “Cheech and Chong“ on file names? CHCH or CNC ??? I have a 4 character max and I have to use all caps.

Very necessary change is coming, even if it is slow. For me personally. Work stuff. I make no promises about societal or systemic changes. I think we will need a lot more people activated before that kind of change will happen. But def something we should also be impatiently working towards.

If you see someone stealing food, no you fuckin didn't.

Kindness or goodwill extended to strangers never to be encountered again carries a purity and beauty unmatched in this world. – Hideko Takamine (Japanese actress, 1924-2010)

This article is about the Dem party losing blue voters to Trump. The comments section is a perfect microcosm of why Dems lost. It is filled with pissed off dems refusing to even consider reflection on why they lost those votes. Hurling insults and contempt instead of wondering what changed

A few pics from the artist’s reception on Thursday. I love seeing people interact with my work for the first time and hearing their questions. Everyone zeroes in on something different, but the solemn acknowledgement of the theme is fairly universal. They want to fight, but feel powerless.

My pieces currently on display in the "At This Moment" show are available for sale. You can purchase directly from me via my website. www.snarkety.com/original

Artist Reception is THIS THURSDAY!!! “At This Moment” features contemporary artists reflecting and making commentary on the conditions of our society as it is “at this moment” in time. Show runs through the end of the month.

This is the worst conversation about universal healthcare that I have ever seen. One uninformed hot take after another - all in defense of fucking people out of healthcare. Every comment I made it through is ignorant dog shit.

My phone does this. I rarely take actual pics, but I have a couple thousand reference images from work and illustration projects stored on it that I haven’t bothered to delete. So my slideshow is like “here’s a pic of that dumpster you drew into a background 3 years ago”

Today is Nakba Day. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine began 78 years ago today and it has never stopped.

Act 2 pacing is set. I will not add anything else. I will not add anything else. I will not add anything else.

Dear @bsky.app Can we move the scroll to top button somewhere that it isn’t constantly being accidentally bumped when using a phone one handed? Some people are left handed. Thanks.

“Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.” —Tommy Douglas, the guy who got Canada Universal Healthcare

Been fumbling around with how to sequence the end of this book for months…. Took a hot bath tonight and one random thought sparked clarity that made the whole thing fall into place.

2 of my pieces are currently being featured in “At This Moment” A juried art exhibition presented by the Dayton Society of Artists May 3-30 Artist Reception May 21, 5-7pm

Many of us have mental illnesses that require medications. Anti-depressants among others. There is no going off these meds and continuing to function fully in society. Let alone be happy. There is ZERO need for us to go off of them, and countless reasons for us to stay on them. Fuck RFK Jr.

@derfbackderf.bsky.social has a FANTASTIC graphic novel about the Kent State shooting. Just finished reading it. Can’t recommend enough.

Confession: Sometimes my husband and I go morally bankrupt stores like hobby lobby and Walmart just to pick up items and stick them somewhere completely different in the store. We consider it doing our part to drive up labor costs by requiring human labor to correct, while doing no actual harm.

Dropping this pair off at the gallery today for the “At This Moment” show 😁 #radicalized #solidarity

Currently editing all the fucked up shit in an ai created product catalog. It would have been cheaper to pay me to do the layout, and I’m not even touching the inconsistent graphics structure.

The worst part of the coverage of the WHCD coverage is that so many of the talking heads were there, are centering themselves, and losing the confirmed facts for their personal feelings. Their takes and accusations toward the public is so out of touch.

Hill I will die on: AI will always stand for adobe illustrator, not artificial intelligence. Especially when the “artificial intelligence” is really an algorithm interface.

This is me, very quietly announcing that two of my pieces will be hanging in a gallery show entitled “In This Moment” next month. I just found out. I am very happy.

Looking into the emergency vote to approve a data center in my area. 5 city commissioners voted behind closed doors. Rep Mike Turner’s chief of staff was one of the votes. Another vote came from a software engineer who specializes in databases. 3rd vote from the mayor who signed an NDA

Progress shot - #Solidarity #Protest

Realizing I’ve never properly introduced my comics work over here, so here goes: Revel Rhodes (trilogy, 2017): Facing life under an increasingly authoritarian government, a group of teens find themselves in a fight for their freedom...and their lives. ​ When the world around them erupts into chaos

“No Cults.” is the pocket guide to life for the new graduate who rolls their eyes at everything. Edgy and humorous enough to hold their attention while slipping in some legit advice, this is a book they will actually read. Presale available now at www.snarkety.com/books

Last minute commission in progress

I’ll be at Small Press + Alt Comics Expo in Columbus OH, Mar 28-29th Get early access/special price on my new book “No Cults” (officially releases Apr 1) + original art + the entire Revel Rhodes. This is my first show back after a couple years off. Would love to see you if you are in the area!!

this is horrifying. this is why they say death to america. because all we bring is death to their children and people

If by “use AI” they mean “routinely get paid to fix shit that people tried to do with AI” then sure. I suppose there is AI used in the process of some of my design work. But artists are the FIRST people to dog pile on anyone using AI. And we’d prefer @adobe.com remove that stupid shit already.

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.
