"Behind The Trees" - my oil painting
Only about a week and a half between this one and the last one. This one pokes at feeling stuck in the suburbs while you know somewhere out there, exciting things are happening. #art

I've been painting a ton this month. It started when I decided to not worry about concept too much and just paint some of my plants in wild colors. I had so much fun doing it, it was kind of like dredging out the creativity stream. All I want to do is keep going.
Ah yes, I too read the fictional novel Many Waters by Madeleine L'Engle
I don't have the extra absurdity of being in Japan, but I did see Lowes had one little display out on July 30th
And by little, I mean three 12-foot grim reapers.
I notice there was no stipulation about animated series. Snappy dialogue, deep character arcs, plays endlessly with tropes; Venture Bros is a masterpiece

I've been drawing for myself lately. It helps I don't have to throw all my creative energy into a job. Here's a quick sketch of Austin Public Library Central
Trying to get the grill started in the rain on the 4th of July is a pretty fitting analogy for trying to be a normal-ass American under the Trump regime.
I've just been invited to apply for a remote Print Production Specialist position ...which in my experience is a job that requires one to physically stand in front of the printer and push the buttons. Does this mean I would get a robot?
If your job posting says you want me to use "AI solutions to streamline the graphic design process" or similar, you're getting an AI written cover letter. It's only fair.
Nothing has radicalized me more against capitalism than getting laid off. Despite following the rules of the system, here I sit with no income, no health insurance, and no guarantee of new employment, by no fault of my own.
If that doesn't make you want to burn it all down, idk what would.
What a treat that I get to logon and block JD Vance!
"The spirit is willing, let's go to 6th Street" -overheard nowhere near 6th Street
My coworkers and I were trying to come up with a name for the company blog. The two of them were asking ChatGPT for suggestions whereas I was working off the dome. The answers they liked were ones I had written on the board about 5 minutes prior.
The brain is still quicker than the calculator
My wife, reading a man's handwritten sign: "Jesus will return"
Me without looking away from the traffic light: "...after these messages."
Not to be old man yelling at cloud, but I walked past a child on an iPad and they were watching a video of someone coloring.
Like... girl, you could just color. You could demand that of your parents even. It is within their power to get you a coloring book.
Are the 90's ok?
Do it for ever
Me minding my own business:
My brain: "Didn't your church friends from elementary school one time say they had seen Cheech and Chong? And that you should come over and watch it?"
Me: I'M TRYING TO WORK
I just had the realization that a very ordinary tourist shirt that says "Gulf of Mexico" is now a huge political statement. To Ebay!
"Can we pay you in $SPACEXCOIN? Just kidding, you don't have a choice."
The roof leaks
The air conditioning, naturally, is set to the bare minimum of what could be considered cool. HVAC service is overdue by about 5 years
Most of the giga factory is just barrels of chemical waste that are "too expensive" to get rid of
There's a sad lounge area in the cafeteria you're not allowed to bring food into
I bet the trash cans are always full at Tesla. I bet there isn't a single new pen to be found.
This is why I like popping over to Tumblr: things are bad but you have to fight sweety, also here's a meme we've been circulating for the past 12 years
