Man, I’ll tell you something. If Garland refuses to release the Jack Smith report based on that OLC memo about prosecuting sitting presidents, I’ll be on the fuck Garland train with all y’all. Promise.

No kidding. Who knew?

He watches to make sure they stick to the script.
If not, they fall out a window. Clumsy Russians!

It's almost as if MAGA can't spot Russian assets even when they spew Putin talking points out their lyin' little mouths every time they speak. Ugh.

So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Here is an instrument I invented, play and write for.

It's a Bamboo stalk with 8 strings spiraling around it.
Played with a bow it sounds something like Cello with a more harmonic rich tone.

It's pretty tall, about 6 and a half feet in height.
Enjoy! : ]

I follow artist because I can't draw a stick figure.

Happy Thanksgiving! 😊

Georges Rouault - The Clown, c. 1907.Oil and gouache on paper, mounted on a cradled panel, 22 1/2 × 20 in. (57.2 × 50.8 cm). Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, USA . A quite cartoony but painterly painting of a clown in profile, a little like Popeye almost, red costume, white hat

Look at this one. From 1907. Could almost have influenced Disney’s Dumbo

Georges Rouault. Th e Clown, 1907. Oil, ink, and watercolor. Museum of Modern Art, New York. © 2007 Artists Rights Society (ARS) New York. A loosely painted image of a human clown with strong painted ink lines

Head of a Clown Georges Rouault (1871–1958) French, Fauvist ca. 1907 - 1908 oil on paper on board A loose sketchy oil painting of a clown with head tilted upwards, in string dark blue and red, looks to me like Prussian blue and some kind of vermillion or cadmium red

Clown tragique Georges Rouault Date: 1911 Style: Expressionism, Fauvism Genre: portrait A heavier more graphic oil painting with very thick dark black lines, more what I think of when I think of Rouault. Green background, mask-like face

Rouault’s clowns. Oooo. Heavyweight art clowns. Never would have given them much attention til now.

Messy delightful awful clown, pastelly lively drawing, traditional red nose and hair, black eyes

Pink monkey in darkness, inky blackness in the background, nice peaceful pink face on the monkey

Two monkeys, one with a yellow body, ink, pastels, nice simple peaceful faces

Anxious looking monkey with a red face, bright reds and yellows in the pictures, and dark blue ink, a mess

You might have seen this coming… I’ve added all the drawings I finished today to my website, specifically on the ‘monoprint-drawings’ gallery linked below. The main drawings gallery/homepage is a different one with different drawings.

Anyway, please repost.
