Brettpunk Art

A single day off before six days straight of work. Let's see if I can file my taxes, do some cleaning, AND go to the gym.

Today at the new job I put on four different Showa era Godzilla films and one Pina Bausch dance performance. Gotta let the customers know what I'm all about.

So like, what are we accomplishing on here anyways?

some valentine ghouls. acrylics on wood.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Make Art (1/4)

Also while I'm not sure it was fully intentional, one friend kept calling me "she," and it was very lovely.

I took second place at Digimon tonight!* Yay!

*There were only four of us**

**I tied for second with another player

Digitally painted ink portrait of a turkey called Kesha, next to the words "no flight, only fight"

I picked flight as my next #pouncepunk26 prompt so that I had an excuse to draw Kesha, the turkey who follows me around every time I go to my mother-in-law's house. I should be getting stickers of this one in soon!

Seeing that the response to Romeo is a Dead Man is very much in line with other Grasshopper Manufacture titles is a good sign that they still have it. It's just gonna be a while before I can play it myself...

(I have barely touched Metroid Prime 4 or Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth in weeks)

I get paid more to sell art, lots of which is made by good friends, can pick my own music, and can work on my own art too. It's a needed relief from the other, annoyingly corporate job.

First day at new part time job and my first customer was so excited to buy a sticker by Little Bubby Child. I'm gonna like it here.

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Artist Yasushi Torisawa put the “revenge” in “Godzilla’s Revenge”

It turns out Walt Whitman's poem I Sing the Body Electric is NOTHING like the Lana Del Rey song.

I foolishly thought that my new gym habits would make picking adult ballet back up easier. It doesn't. Ballet uses your muscles in completely different ways from lifting weights. I think this is a net good though!

Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad
cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life
I love you all

I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear
I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness

Chiitan is a gift.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Me every time an AI commercial came on:

This is a LOT of psychic damage I'm taking just to see Bad Bunny perform, y'all.

Some of these ads are very “we love immigrants as long as they perform labor for us”-coded

The uncanny valley Ben Affleck Dunkin commercial followed by the crypto karaoke commercial just broke my brain

I dunno man. I think it's weird that we get excited as a culture for commercials, even if it is just once a year during a big football game.

art without philosophy is just commercial art, which isn’t necessarily bad in and of itself, but when capitalism is the only thing fueling your art you wind up with lowest-common-denominator work and “content”

It's Girl Scout cookie season, y'all.

I drew my own take on this ad for Godzilla's 70th!
