pseudo-ersatz

Artwork for the 11th Annual Record Store Day, commissioned by Eclipse Records in downtown St. Paul. Metallic silver ink; looks great but clogs up the screen if you’re not careful.

Always trying to keep the clutter in my life from spilling over. Yes, I’m still organized. But this is how that feels. 3-color screen print.

I liked the remake of Evil Dead. It leaves the old material to stand on its own while exploring themes such as addiction and trust (in regards to demon possession). Ash still got a streaming series, so there’s NOTHING to complain about.

It’s not bad, it’s just the situation is … unique.

There’s a dull pulse of pain, but I got full range of motion. Just need occasional cold packs.

I’m more disappointed I can’t think of any jokes for this.

So long and Godspeed, giant metal vagina.

Your absence will leave a giant hole in our gallery’s ambiance.

Crushed my left hand under a pink 9-ft steel abstract vagina, as we took down the SafeWord erotic art show.

This year, we at Otherworldly Arts Collective went from panicking about keeping ALTR Gallery, to having one of the biggest artist sales events in the six-year history of SafeWord. Thank you!

I’m as surprised as anyone that I’m still around. Lot of luck and saying yes to some crazy ideas has helped.

Setting up files for screen printing; adding halftone "shading"; sorting the sizes out so these two are twins of each other.

Should be done by Art-A-Whirl or sooner, along with three other projects.

May I never again feel the urge to draw an opossum for as long as I remain living.

This describes every well-lit brewery in the twin cities (note: most breweries and distilleries are dark, but still…)

Can’t disclose how/why but, we have personal knowledge of this new CEO.

He is spoiled, selfish, entitled — etc. etc.

Any changes to Target to engage personal trust are probably related to some AI generated output of what the algorithm thinks compassion looks like, because he has no fucking clue.

Nuke EMP proofed…

Rehabilitation of Marimo - moss balls. Eventually, I’ll have to cull the darker bits and roll them into shape. I do this because I just don’t “allow” plants to die. It’d be cheaper if I did…

This.

As soon as the investigation runs into Israel’s concerns, it’ll stall.

Having Dems in charge won’t prevent that any more than Biden halting Gaza genocide.

Actual leftist Democrats selected by new primaries? Maybe…

But then what? Bibi will just go back to his GOP campaigning mode.

People have been on my case to finish this, which is very helpful (no sarcasm). Still need to make some tweets for screen printing, but here we are…

Thanks! Sadly, digitally printed boards at $65 a pop doesn’t make my art very accessible. I’m trying to rescale and adjust it to a poster or sticker. Fingers crossed it’ll work.

Let’s see what I can dig up…

Well, okay — I guess it was Kuwaiti forces that shot them down in a friendly fire incident. But still, the lack of coordination and incompetence is staggering.

Those three jets probably could have funded the healthcare of a few US states.

Blind Alley No. 421

This thing is giving me 1980s ‘Saturday Night Special’ that explodes vibes…

For most screen printers that still do this by hand:
The number on the prints is based on the results.
Print #1 isn't the first I made, it's the BEST I made.
Print #35 out of the 40 prints ... is probably nasty.

Screen printing is rarely perfect; usually, colors fall out of register. The best prints are the prints where that really doesn't look bad as it happens, shown here:

Original digital intent seen here. However, I found the white paper I had boring and switched to an off-white stock with more texture and speckles. Everything shifted from that.

...I should post a version of what the colors actually turned out like after the screen printing process.

Wear protection (AKA: crash helmet)

The apocalypse is supposed to be the breaking point of “God’s” tolerance of human failings, so you’d think evangelicals would have the sense not to purposely cause that.

However THIS is the level of STUPID violence we are dealing with.

And it goes WELL past any threat you’ve been told about Islam.

I don’t think Israelis understand that Republicans have a large cult of religious extremists who want to bring about their version of the ‘end of days’.

This calls for exterminating Arabs in the ‘holy lands’ —AS WELL AS— all Jewish people.

The GOP is just giving Israel rope to hang itself with.
