Every injustice in this world, every hierarchical social struggle, every action that causes others pain and suffering, comes down to one thing: Control over consent. Saying NO is a threat to power. The system is designed to remove your ability to consent and incapacitate the power of your NO.

How can anyone say that the United States is the "Land of the Free" with a straight face these days? Also, I have no path to citizenship elsewhere at the moment... unless Australia decides to grant citizenship based on Vegemite consumption. Spread it on toast like Nutella, mate!

Abraham Lincoln would never have been assassinated had the play just been held in the ballroom that he and previous Presidents had begged the country to build.

I misunderstood something I saw while playing #TomodachiLife on my Switch 2, so I bought a #Switch2Camera. That's how I learned how useless this camera is and it is nothing more than a gimmick intended to separate fools from their money. It is me. I am the fool. It currently does NOTHING in game.

Years ago I quit most social media because of ToS stuff I didn't like. I also found myself burnt out from attempting to monetize my art. I don't do "hustle" well. I also feel guilt about working a non-art career with a BFA. I don't have the money or support to just go all in with my art. (1_of_3)

I took this test and they told me that not many get my score, so I am defiantly elite. Posting so I don't loose the high score record. It's like golf score

Spending an hour to make a shitpost on your phone because you were too lazy to open your iPad and use software that would make it quicker? It's more likely than you think.

Once again, Trump is showing the world who he perceives himself to be. His motives have always been predictable. I've been warning people about this shit stain for well over 20 years now. If you know nothing about Welthauptstadt Germania, take a moment now. allthatsinteresting.com/welthauptsta...

I am trying to practice capturing luminance and translucency in painting. Some people make it look so simple and I always over complicate the process. I have seen some breathtaking traditional oils with simpler shapes that capture this so much better than I can currently. This is where I’m at now.

I just got influenced and ordered a pack of blackwing matte pencils...

I refuse to get stuck in a niche. That might make me seem inconsistent, but I don’t care. I’m just out here having fun when so many things no longer are. I don’t think I have a style, but I do think my fingerprint is in everything I create. #maximalist #artsky #bskyart #art #popart #peersb4gears

A cathartic warmup sketch I did this morning in #procreate with digital ink and ink wash brushes.

While many of us played our parts, I was the one who made the famous "welcome to Wendy's Beaver" signs and I absolutely knew what would happen, but Wendy's and our project managers let it get all the way to me, so I did my job. I've mentioned it in bsky before and on FB (before I quit meta).

2026 is by far the worst annus of all 46 anni I have ever been forced to witness. It is March 1st and the walls have already fallen out.

I'm going to tell you a secret. Bluebox Mac and cheese? Don't add milk. Get a 10.5oz can of cambells golden mushroom soup, 2 cups of sour cream, and 1 tsp msg. Mix together in a med heat sauce pan. You will have extra. Store it. Save for step 2 (1 of 2)

My last piece never hit the feeds because I self-modded it into oblivion, so this is a new piece to test visibility, but also to suggest you look at my prior post as well and give it some love.

Hey I just made something really cursed that would be neat to see hanging up at a dentist’s office or above your mom’s couch. Considering doing a small series that people can hang up to make their houseguests want to stay longer.

Everything is down.

Messing around with hand lettering. Combining with my illustration to make something somewhat zine-like.

Pam Bondi go fuck yourself you fucking ghoul.

Fuck it. If rule of law doesn't matter to them? Why should it for us? If Trump can grift 10Billion from our tax dollars to sue the IRS, then why should we still be saddled with student loans? If it is that easy to benefit from such frivolity, why should we be made to suffer? Fuck this class caste.

I am trying to make art despite everything. I respect those of you still fighting. I am trying. I need support. I might not have it. I could be lost. I don't deserve it more than anyone else though. Many deserve it more. I have forgotten what I want. I don't know where to begin. I N H, T I H.

God. I've been through a lot lately. I have quit most social media. It has been alienating, I know, but it is the price to pay to save my soul. My back. Ugh. My surgery. Financial ugh. My job. No comment ugh. Then. We. Have. This. Government. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump (you orange pest) Fuck this timeline

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

I just thought of something. It's always "Happy Hondadays" but never "Happy Kiawanzaa" 🤔 Do better.

I’m trying to make designs that look good digitally and print well on my SELPHY CP1500. Procreate isn’t native cmyk and the SELPHY is CMY using ink sublimation. I’m still fine tuning. The idea is to create quick turn commissions that give folks tangible art that is easy to ship. Almost dialed in.

In early November my benefits team at work helped overturn my procedure denials. I was scheduled shortly after for nov 25th outpatient surgery. I had #intracept performed. Read my past posts to see how bad my life was. I am now currently recovering and I want to tell you where I am at now. (1 of _)

He’s watching what you post. Better not use uncomfy words or he’ll make sure no one sees that you exist. I guess that last post didn’t vibe with the clankers and robo-nannies. I keep forgetting that being human isn’t cool anymore. Ope. #digitalillustration #art

My back procedure was approved. I’m getting Intracept. The current suffering is unreal but soon it will be lessened, or if fate smiles upon me, gone. 4 years of creeping pain and 1 year of hell. I made this to illustrate that suffering. Now I’m deeper in debt, but I’ll have my back again.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

I don’t know if there will ever be a point in me making polished work again. Why spend the time? It’ll just get glossed over because people will assume it’s clanker spew. Capturing emotion is harder and more interesting anyhow.

When I pass away, I will come back as this spectral ratdog and sit on the chests of health insurance CEOs and stare at them nightly like this until daybreak. I will grant them immortality but deny healing. Every injury and pain they suffer shall compound exponentially. Eternally. #procreateart

Lost 40+lbs since March and all PT has made my mobility worse. Two MRIs in a months span this summer show the L5 S1 going from a bulge to gone. ABCBS of Tennessee denied all appeals. Grievance hearing not until Dec. It takes 10 minutes to get out of bed from pain. Pain pills do not help. (1 of _ )

I am currently dealing with a bad lumbar and heading towards possible permanent paralysis. Insurance/bwc is a nightmare. Lost the will to do most anything. The pain is enormous. I have mustered the will to make my first animation and pixel art. Harder than I thought. Meant to post this weeks ago.

This took a couple weeks because everything is so wtf right now.

Getting a back procedure soon so I can return to twerk full duty. I don’t actually have a twin…or a sloth. I made this for you to store in ur g0Onin’ credit union. #artistsupport #digitalillustration #myocart #oc #art #bskyart

Hey y’all. Please take a moment to check my friend Dave’s kickstarter out and throw some support his way. Maybe even look at some of his other prolific work while you’re at it. ❤️

Got some more #ocart illustrations for y’all to swipe past. More maximal texturing pop surrealistic art from my iPad to your eyeballs. #tgts #artistsupport #art #digitalillustration #bskyart #surreal

It’s more fun to draw weird little guys than realistic characters imho. #artistsupport #myoc #artsky #digitalart #surreal

Look. I did my best with the alt text. I hope you enjoy maximal surrealism. UwU #art #artistsupport #surreal #digitalart #tgts

This was a doodle that I just let happen until there was literally not much else I could do without crowding out other stuff. #art #artistsupport

Experimenting with textures and shapes today. #art

“Mom, get me a #labubu “ “We have Labubus at home” *The Labubu at home*

Ra-Ra-Rasputin! #artistsupport #rasputin #digitalillustration #mystic #madmonk #art #bskyart

We're so cooked. I keep seeing stuff from Google's new lie generator, and it's getting harder to tell fact from fiction. I don't know how you're supposed to prove you're real anymore. The best I can do is post what I make and not focus on what I can't control. Your opinions aren't my responsibility

Two weeks ago I didn't even know what #themonsters or #labubu or #zimomo was, and now I find myself devastated nightly when I'm not fast enough to win the #popnow ugh. They make me smile when the world is so full of reasons not to. Maybe one day I'll see some in a KIA and get a Labubu and a free car
