I asked @rubenbolling.bsky.social to illustrate an idea I'd had so I could print up some t-shirts to give donors at a trans rights event. He agreed and liked the result enough to run it as a "Tom the Dancing Bug." We raised $ for @hrw.org and @nclrights.bsky.social. Thx Ruben. You nailed it.

Said goodbye to one of my favorite paintings yesterday, but it went to a good home where they really related to the theme of “Do not go gentle.” #art #painting #oilpainting #surrealism

And a #mastercopy of a #JohnSingerSargent drawing. #figuredrawing #art #drawing #charcoal #portrait #lifedrawing

Never posted the second week on this drawing. #figuredrawing #art #drawing #charcoal #portrait #lifedrawing

Went with something less obscure. People seemed to like it. #nokings #nokingsprotest #protestsign #nokingsprotestsign #paloalto #paloaltonokings #nokingspaloalto

Trying to come up with a protest sign. I dunno. Too oblique? Too inflammatory? #nokings #GOT #nokingsprotest #protestsign #nokingsprotestsign

Ah, New York, I could learn to love you.

Extremely helpful visualization of the impact of government cuts across the USA in a clickable map format. When people ask "Why should I care about government cuts?" send them here: theimpactproject.org/the-impact-m... #DOGE #politics #infographic #government #protest

Just when you thought #MarkZuckerberg couldn't be any more of a spineless weasel and Trump sycophant, he lowers the bar. How greedy do you have to be to cut housing funding because it MIGHT piss off Donald Trump and decrease your wealth by a billion or two? www.mercurynews.com/2025/05/01/m...

I decided to try this one as an oil painting. #oilpainting #painting #art #surreal #abatract

Week one of a two week pose. This stage is just blocking in light and shadow. #figuredrawing #art #drawing #charcoal #portrait

A lot of attention has been rightly paid to #AbregoGarcia and his incarceration in #CECOT, the #ElSalvador #prison. However, #AndryJoséHernándezRomero, a gay makeup artist, was arrested and deported because of his crown #tattoo, which is a common part of #threekingsday celebrations in #venezuela.

My take on How We're Making America Great Again #MAGA #Trump #politicalart #meme #stockmarket #economy

More #art #inkdrawing #drawing #sketchbook #surreal

More in-flight artwork. #art #drawing #pencildrawing #graphite #sketchbook #surreal

My latest marketing concept. I think this one's a winner. #histairia #marketing #aprilfools

Killing time on a cross country flight. #art #drawing #pencildrawing #graphite #sketchbook #surreal

Took a sketchbook drawing, blew it up and hand colored it. #art #drawing #sketchbook #painting #surrealism

#SarahWynn-Williams wrote #CarelessPeople , an insider's account of #Facebook and #Meta is taking legal action. When I wrote about Google, their legal department challenged my right to do so. I encourage you to buy Sarah's book to show support for insider views that reveal what's really going on.

#schadenfreude post of the day. #trump #$trump #trumpmemecoin #memecoin

Tightened this up a bit. #art #painting #oilpainting #surrealism

Is anyone tracking the ways the Trump administration demonstrates its corruption?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social During Trump's speech the members should play #TrumpBingo, then walk out once they win. Demonstrate how stale and predictable he is. Show him the disrespect he deserves.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Your response to Trump should be to diminish him not empower him. Play #TrumpBingo during his speech and walk out once you win. Show him him to be stale and predictable, not a forceful leader. He can't stand being disrespected and will fall apart.

@postopinions.bsky.social Given your new editorial slant, you're probably not interested, but I think Dems in Congress should play #TrumpBingo, then walk out of his speech once they win. Make him feel disrespected, disoriented, and angry. Show he's stale and predictable not a powerful leader.

How should Democrats respond to Trump's speech? Diminish him as stale and predictable. Every member can display a #TrumpBingo card and follow along. Once they complete a row, they should shout "Bingo" and then walk out, leaving him confused , angry and off balance. #trump #democrats #trumpspeech

The Ship of State is in wonderful hands. That iceberg up ahead is full of libtards. We're going to give them what they deserve. #elon #musk #presidentmusk #presidentelon #trump #politics #fascism #politicalart #AIart

Shout out to the guy on my flight who sneezed every 10 minutes, blew his nose and looked feverish, but never put on a mask. His girlfriend was just as sick and also happy to share her bodily fluids with everyone on board. #drawing #pencil #sketchbook #illustration #art #artwork

On the plane home. #art #drawing #ink #surreal #inkdrawing #sketchbook

More meeting notes. #art #drawing #pencil #surreal #surrealism #graphite #sketchbook

Went to a conference and took copious notes. #art #drawing #ink #surreal #inkdrawing #sketchbook

I shot this with my phone instead of scanning it, but you get the idea. These are the kinds of notes I take in long meetings and drawings I amuse myself with on cross country flights. #art #drawing #surreal #pencil #sketchbook

What’s dinner out without a menu to draw on? #drawing #menuart #art #menu

My dad raised me on tales of Edward R Murrow and his heroic stand against McCarthy‘s fascism. I will be telling my children about @jimacosta.bsky.social. Thank you sir for making a stand. #cnn #cnnshame #jimacosta #acosta #cnncowardice

Someday, someone will call Trump‘s bluff instead of backing down, or at least appearing to give in so that he can claim victory. I hope that day comes soon because it will crack the facade of his invincibility and encourage others to stand up to this cowardly bully.

Another old coffee and ink drawing. #ink #drawing #art #surreal

AMERICA FIRST! We shouldn't have to rely on foreign felons when we have plenty of our own. "They’re emptying their jails and they’re emptying their prisons into our country. How stupid can we be? We’re going to have a crime wave, the likes of which you haven’t seen." #trump #politics #resistance

Perhaps one good thing to come from Trump‘s election will be a flourishing of political art. This piece, posted on Instagram, is a good start. All hail #47. #trump #politicalart #resistance

Not that anyone will care, but I did the New York Times letterboxed puzzle in two words today. Probably my major accomplishment for the year.

Another sketchbook drawing with deep hidden meaning. #drawing #art #artwork #ink #blackink #sketchbook

A painting I recently started. Still a long way to go. #art #painting #oilpainting #abstractart #surrealism

I heard the forecast for tonight and it may dip down into the 20s. I thought to myself how cold that would be, until I remembered what December was like in #Novosibirsk. #Russia #travelphotos #siberia

And as I walk on through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes So where are the strong, and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? My first Elvis sighting was in 1978, before he wrote this, but his lyrics still resonate. #ElvisCostello #newwave #concerts

Another recent drawing. #art #artwork #drawing #portrait #surreal #pencil

I just registered the domain ILovePresidentMusk.com. I'm hoping that if enough folks put enough fawning adoration for Elon there, while disparaging our #figureheadpresident, DJT will decide he would prefer not to stand in the shadows and show #spacemanElon the door. #resistance #trumpegobashing

More fun with AI. As close I'm able to get to rendering @marcelias.bsky.social and his willingness to stand up to #Trump by making himself a visible target. We need more #heroesofdemocracy like him. Sorry Marc, it's not the best rendering, but you get the idea. #politicalart #politicalcartoon

While everyone seems to be preemptively caving to Trump, @marcelias.bsky.social is raising his hand to say he's not going down without a fight. The only way to treat a bully is show you're not afraid. If you don't subscribe to @democracydocket.com, you really should. #resistance #trump #marcelias

Something to do on a 5 hour flight. #drawing #art #artwork #inkdrawing #surrealism

#JohnStewart is also a fan of @benwikler.bsky.social and thinks he should skip running for chair of the #dnc and just announce for president. We could do a hell of a lot worse. #dncchair #politics #democrat #wisconsin #resistance
