I’ve been spending the majority of my art time cleaning up scans of my β€œYear Zero” series (2022-24) for an upcoming artists’ book. Not fun, but necessary. #art

I recently did proper flatbed scans of 21 drawings for my next artists’ book. This is a detail of β€œSplice of Life” from June of this year. Eternal thanks to Brennan Waters for the help with image cleanup / design / printing. #art #drawing #contemporaryart

My friend and collaborator @marc-fischer.bsky.social and I did the most important thing you can do at the Chicago Art Institute yesterday. I guess they have art too? Thank you Marc for being our tour guide. Photo by @catsofpdxor.bsky.social

If you are in the Chicago region I highly recommend seeing the free exhibition Waters of the Abyss: An Intersection of Spirit and Freedom by Fabiola Jean-Louis. The show is up through September 21st. It’s at Chicago Cultural Center - info here: www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...

He’s a big deal for me. I definitely can’t deny his influence on my black ink drawings.

One final post on this topic: Vincent Price & Edward G. Robinson were such avid collectors that in 1956 they competed against each other answering questions about art on TV quiz show "The $64,000 Challenge." They both missed the final question & so split the top prize www.nytimes.com/1956/10/29/a...

If you have Criterion Channel check out β€œBeyond The Visible - Hilma af Klint”. I have been aware of her art for years but it’s nice to get a more complete picture. #art

2/2 - I am an atheist so I will edit The Met’s text to be β€œoverwhelming punishment for the flagrant sins of short-sighted politicians and greedy corporations.”

1/2 - From The Met Museum website: β€œRepresentations of the Flood, described in Genesis as the overwhelming punishment for humanity’s flagrant sins, go back to the early Renaissance.”

Over 230 people were killed by Hurricane Helene and the subsequent flooding in October, 2024.
