Everything from the design language to the ticket prices confirms that no aspect of the LA28 Olympics is actually for the residents of Los Angeles.

This is bad.

Absolutely everything about Artemis II is awesome.

Nothing beats the sound of rain in Los Angeles.

My daughter and I watched Project Hail Mary this afternoon. Liked it.

Been in the lab, creatively. Booked an exhibition coming up this July (details to come). Making work to stay sane.

LFG!!!

Re: Open AI shuttering Sora after 15 months… Maybe filmmakers aren’t actually “cooked” after all?

I’m not sure why I would want to train Adobe Firefly to generate images in my style when I could, you know, just keep making work in my style.

This timeline feels like a psyop

100% this. The many African twitters didn't move to Bluesky (or anywhere else). They're still in that sleazy Nazi bar. I miss them, but will never rejoin them. Also Senegal was stabbed in the back.

Afroman is an American hero.

I admire my daughters ability to do absolutely everything except what I asked her to do. It’s art.

Legacy media publications are the only ones framing the billionaire “exodus” from California like it’s some sort of tragedy. They don’t pay taxes. They literally are leaving because they might have to. Their continued presence has no benefit for the public good. Good riddance.

My family arrived in Los Angeles at Union Station on St. Patrick’s Day, 1980. I was 2 at the time and it’s been all LA ever since.

Every weekend my balcony transforms into my studio space.

Personal news: I just received payment for my largest single artwork sale to date. I’m not sharing this to brag but to tell you (yes, you) to keep pushing, it is definitely worth it. Also! Check out my new Redacted Topographies series! www.nonstndrd.com/redacted-top...

The meme regime has to be stopped.

Is this winning?

Also. Although I’ve recently cancelled HBO Max due to the impending merger I wanted to note that they have AI upscaled the older Ghibli films and they look like dogshit compared to the original versions.

Not really enjoying living during the run up to every dystopian sci-fi film all rolled into one.

Soooo down in Los Angeles, protestors who attended this afternoon’s anti-war protest took a jaunt to the MDC after and it seems portions of the fence outside the MDC were taken apart Just got here in time to argue my way through an LAPD police cordon. Dispersal has been called

Shout out to those creatives that had an established practice pre 2020 and had to make a whole new one post-pandemic because the world changed up on you. Keep pushing.

I swear every Friday things in this world go off the rails in unanticipated ways.

Recent collage illustrations.

This timeline. Wow.

11 years now that we've all had to think about this cruel shithead every day

New photoessay on the art pop-up sweeping dominating my social media timeline this week and how it’s both really dope an a sign of the times. www.nonstndrd.com/the-value-of...

This is so beautiful and so amazing. I love animation. youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ?...

It’s really amazing how incredibly bad the Lakers are. Top tier terrible. Embarrassing.

Redacted Topographies: Prologue (Surveys 001-012) www.nonstndrd.com/redacted-top...

Well, at least I’ll save some money on streaming services in the near future now that I’ll be canceling HBO Max.

Some older photography work I just added to Nonstndrd Creative Projects. www.nonstndrd.com/market-place/

The state of the Union is we’re screwed.

If you’re watching, I hope it’s for work.

Really difficult to get behind a political party that prioritizes winning over people that vote against them at the expense of those who do.

“Redacted Topographies” is an ongoing series of abstract “Surveys”, thematically organized into collections within the whole. I also designed a poster to accompany the first collection,!titled “Prologue (Surveys 001-012)”. The entire series is online at the link: www.nonstndrd.com/redacted-top...

I’m never letting any of this go.

After two decades, Samurai Champloo's soundtrack is still iconic. Its influence is everywhere. Shinichiro Watanabe loved underground hip hop -- and he hired artists like Nujabes to create music that doesn't just fall into the background. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-music-...

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Family Ties & Forgotten Landmarks In this special BHM installment of PROCSSS, I’m sharing new collage work using family photos dating back to the late 1930’s/early 1940’s and a new art series documenting forgotten L.A. Green Book locations. www.nonstndrd.com/family-ties-...

I’m lifelong anime fan but never got into Dragonball Z. Just couldn’t look past the Mr. PoPo sh*t. Happy BHM.

Just added my newly completed series of L.A. Green Book illustrations to Nonstndrd Creative Projects. www.nonstndrd.com/los-angeles-...

Artist-run spaces represent the heart of Los Angeles’s art scene, yet most people still see the city’s identity as tied to the market — one that’s increasingly influenced by the East Coast.
