This reminds me of cheap guitars with the logo on the headstock scratched out.

How did we let the dumbest kid take over the group project? This is on us.

Turns out Elon likes Austin bands. He’s a big fan of Explosions in the Sky. #deportelon #austinmusic #explosionsinthesky

Tell us specifically what Democrats in the House and Senate are doing to counter this regime besides strongly-worded resolutions. Please.

I was raised during the tail-end of the Cold War. I have a healthy distrust of the CIA, NSA, FBI because of their actions domestically and abroad. Now I hope there’s some old spies still alive that aren’t happy about a foreign billionaire who is attempting to usurp the US constitution. #arrestelon

My neighborhood bar where I’ve been a regular for 20 years often functions as a defacto community center.

Agriculture has been a defining characteristic of Humanity for over 100,000 years. You can grow some fucking basil in a pot.

Do tech companies purposefully choose awkward names for their products? #techbros

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

If you join ICE, you should never get to eat good Mex, TexMex, Southwestern, Sonoran, or any other variation of delicious Latin American food ever again. Baloney on white bread with Miracle Whip for you for all eternity. #ICE

It seems like they think they’re still dealing with the Bush administration (either one).

Even poverty food varies by region. “Chipped beef on Toast” aka Shit on a Shingle was a regular in our house when I was a kid.

Progress.

The Right has an amazing ability to co-opt symbols and change their meaning forever through repetition and conformity. Resurrection is nearly impossible. As an artist, art history fan, and designer, its fucking annoying to see a visually powerful sign or logo get ruined so easily.

Says the Cat in the Hat…

Started a new drawing on gray paper. Will build up with watercolor, ink, gouache, color pencil. #artthreads

I expect Trump voters to be angry with HOA fines for their overgrown lawns when their landscapers get raided by ICE.

Some older weird shit on colored art papers. Gouache, watercolors, ink. #austinart

I hope to move into a renthouse as soon as the make-ready is done. I plan to grow as much food as possible in the yard. #garden

Drop proton torpedo here.

I use found/salvaged lumber to build panels, supports, and picture frames. I am a carpenter to pay bills, have lots of scrap wood as a result. Anything larger than 6”x6” usually gets a coat of gesso. #foundobjects

Some books are just screenplays published as market research.
