This is lowkey shaping up to be a very good year for music

in 1997, "x.com" belonged to two guys named Dave and Rob and its slogan was "not nearly the worst place on the web!!!" web.archive.org/web/19970411...

Artforum trying to rehabilitate their reputation by partnering with Johnny Depp

Still not going to sink my battleship

i get what they're trying to say but i love that the subhead makes it seem like Alice Neel is sparing you from execution

Amusing myself by speculating who across from me is audibly blasting Gabber: the dude in full camo and a scull cap with a brand new iPhone 17, or the overalled lady with the multicolor backpack decked out in New England patches and vintage style headphones

No Claudes, no masters

I was able to have a wonderful conversation with Estonia-based art collective, SEMIOCULUS where I touched on experimental media, unexplained paranormal phenomena, zines, contemporary witchcraft, & my work Please take a look at my most comprehensive interview to date: semioculus.com/interview/da...

When my brother and I were kids, one Halloween our mom painted her face green and wore bright red lipstick, and said she was “Vuh-Vuh, from the Toulouse-Lautrec painting” [At the Moulin Rouge] and we were all like, “yup, that sure is Vuh-Vuh”

When it absolutely, positively has to bi there overnight

Oh there’s a “seashell indictment”? Is aquaman testifying, is there a grand jury of elephant seals, will SpongeBob rip his pants in court

Ah, yes, I see,

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.

Feel like I just sighted a celebrity

Winter… into spring

A lady who looked and sounded a lot like Cecily Brown asked me about my easel setup in Central Park today. Ah well 🤷‍♂️

Why did my nose just start bleeding all of a sudden?

(About someone who never misplaces anything) Objects flock to him

Hegel and the boys let you down?

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

What if, instead of being 60 degrees in springtime, it was 40 on odd days and 80 on even ones?

Environmental storytelling

Guy who believes conspiracy theory that birds aren’t real and is stoked people are coming around to Geese being a psyop

Always Closing Always Be

I remember when I used to hang art in the UES and I was surprised at how much closer a deli sandwich in the area cost to what it did in the neighborhood where I grew up when I went out to lunch in HS, simply because the residents there were older wealthy NYers

This seems very new but is sort of what reading the Iliad is like

Sending a gallery my portfolio in View-Master slide format

I don’t know if movies are getting worse or I am getting grumpier, but I consider Spencer (2021), Licorice Pizza, Trenque Lauquen, Sound of Falling, and Panda (2026) to all be masterpieces

I saw the best minds of my generation produce high quality content for startups that laid them off on a zoom call

Girl in a Room, Richard Diebenkorn 1958

I believe the phrase is "Hang it in the Louvre"

I placed a bet on Tony Montana and his wife on Buckaroo

NATURE IS HEALING

Can’t stop thinking about the lady on the subway I watched put on latex gloves to peel and eat an orange, and then took them off immediately after

Lady at the FedEx Ship counter did a little happy dance when she noticed my nails were painted

The audacity of this petty-Constantine

The only news from the United States I can get excited about involve an olympic athlete and manned spaceflight orbiting the moon, welcome back 1968

A kid breathlessly told me I was the first painter he’d seen in Bayside, and I shared my tater tots with a lady passing by, since I’d only bought them to use the bathroom. CVS also had a bathroom, I was told. Algorithmic Field Painting #28 (40°45'36.8"N 73°46'09.6"W) 2026 Oil on canvas 21 x 18 in.

I love how bitchy the lunar flyby commentary sounds out of context; "the team has requested an attitude change, but needs to discuss it internally first"

Incredible

Film and music have the healthiest fanbases, prove me wrong. Is anyone going, “yeah, I just finished Sons and Lovers and now I’m going to dive into a Craig Shaw Gardner novelization”? “Going to head to the local pay to play gallery to look at pour paintings after I see that Richard Tuttle show”?

Said no art store, ever
