Christmas drawing in my sketchbook, pen and ink on paper. 
I hope you are having a happy holidays. 
The drawing is of a cop beating up a person dressed as Santa, beneath the drawing I wrote this…
β€œResidents of the squatter community of Christiana, Denmark, for example, have a Christmastide ritual where they dress in Santa suits, take toys from department stores and distribute them to children on the street, partly just so everyone can relish the images of the cops beating down Santa and snatching the toys back from crying children.”
-David Graeber from his book Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology

Folks, I'm telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean β€”
so get yourself 
a little loving
in between.

Here is the artwork I did for the new Time album: Radiolarian Ballet. It is a drawing of Time surrounded by radiolaria with ballet dancers in them, one of them has the Dirty Laboratory Productions baby logo inside it. On Time’s shirt is a drawing of AimΓ© CΓ©saire. 
I am proud to have done the art for the cover on the new @time_raps album Radiolarian Ballet. 
The album is an ode to the brilliant AimΓ© CΓ©saire. 
You can and absolutely should get a copy of the album here:

Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die: β€œIf you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labour movement... the movement from which the downtrodden millions, the millions who toil in misery and want, expect salvation β€” if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread on a spark, but there and there, behind you β€” and in front of you, and everywhere, flames blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out”.
Pen and ink on paper.

"Women are always expected to 
imagine the world from a male 
point of view. Men are almost never 
expected to do the same for women. 
This runs so deep that many men 
react to any suggestion that they 
might do otherwise as if it were 
itself an act of violence."
.
  - David Graeber
