A few recent gouache landscapes. 4.5 x 6” on paper.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

200 small works on paper from the last year or so that I’m cataloguing. Ink, watercolor, acrylic & spraypaint on paper.

This is an ICE agent at TSA. Post their unmasked faces everywhere.

An exploration of lines. It’s been a bit of an ongoing project, finding, documenting, creating these lines, exploring composition and texture.

Railroad spikes. I used to collect these things by the bucket, back in the graffiti days. So many afternoons spent in the train yards.

Donald Trump's Pentagon is going to buy millions of dollars of drones from Donald Trump's sons. But *do* go on more about the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden.

Happy Birthday to Gregory James Norton, American musician and bassist on all of Hüsker Dü's recordings from their formation to their breakup in 1989, born on this day in 1959 in Davenport, Iowa #punk #punks #punkrock #hardcorepunk #gregnorton #hüskerdü #history #punkrockhistory

Feels to me like whoever runs on "I am going to put into prison every single person currently in power in government, business, or law enforcement" has a decent chance at 500 electoral votes.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Kat Abughazaleh: "We need to, first off abolish and prosecute ICE and DHS and we return DHS' responsibilities to Departments of Justice, State, of Treasury, of Transportation. All of these responsibilities that were taken from those departments... We need to repeal the Patriot Act."

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

I’ve had this little box of charcoals for around 25 years. Bits get replaced from time to time but many are decades old.

Drawing houses in the neighborhood. India ink & watercolor in sketchbook. East Providence, RI.

Longer video of a pen & ink skull sketch. No music to hear all the asmr scratchy goodness. #sintaxera

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

View from the shop this afternoon. It was really gray today, but the temps are in the mid 30s, which felt like summer, as it’s been much colder lately. The snow even started to melt a tiny bit.

Spray paint & acrylic on wood. Skulls and eyeballs are among my favorite things to draw & paint. They’re subjects as old as humanity with importance and meaning to match. #sintaxera

If you’re not fully dissociating living in the US right now is just walking from one crazy scene after another with people having breakdowns as the veneer of normality just melts. It’s like Mad Max right before everybody moved to the desert and started modding cars.

Always drawing skulls. #sintaxera

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón was hospitalized with eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages. Officers claimed he ran into a wall, but medical staff doubted that account. n.pr/4bHoZDU
