Pink on pink painting that says FUCK ICE. It’s got a stick so it looks like a protest sign.
🚨LET’S DO AN ART AUCTION🚨
Highest bid goes right to that Minnesota rent fundraiser I posted earlier. (Shipping is extra.) Painting is PINK on PINK. 11x14 (plus stick). Wax (still warm). Fuck ICE.

Alex Pretti was alive a week ago. And he’s gone now. Even with all the potential positive movement afoot, he’s not coming back.
The billionaires who gave money to Trump for his inauguration own this, too.
Im drawing house plants
That looks so delicious!
Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
A dark blue mug with an American flag reads “AMERICA 1776 – 2026”

This year we've been told over and over that there are shortcuts to Doing The Work. But there aren't, not really.
Here on the shortest day of the longest year I wrote a little defense of Doing The Work. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...
I decided to give the National Design Studio its own page, so I could better track all the 1-page websites they've created dogetrack.info/agencies/nds/
If “AI” did the thing, organizations would be bragging about the outcomes instead of jawing endlessly about the tools.

It is day 3 of #ArtAdventCalendar so let us have this manatee friend for today, yes yes
Red mesh Xmas stocking full of toys, candy and pro-worker, pro-immigrant and pro-human rights pins, whistle, prints and guides.
Look what I got in the mail today from @monteiro.bsky.social 😍
I don’t know if I should rip the stocking open and use everything in there, or preserve it inside a plexiglass shadow box. It’s a limited edition from among the things at www.mulebooks.com/store
Introduce yourself with 5 animals you have seen in the wild:

A cheap mesh xmas stocking full of zines, pins, stickers, candy, toys, and an actual print from Amos Kennedy.

Zohran for New York City wordmark
I am truly shocked to not find more thinkpieces on the incredible graphic design and typography of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign but maybe that’s because searching on the internet is garbage now.
TL;DR lead designer was Aneesh Bhoopathy of Forge Co-Op

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!
This meeting could have been a duel.

This week’s newsletter is about socks and depression.
“Everything has an effect on everything else. Everything in your life is related to everything else. A perfect peach can lead to five pages of good writing. Leaving the house without cleaning the sink can lead to a day of doing shitty design.”
The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.
