Almost 64k likes & NO CREDIT FOR MY WORK. Theme Park Life originally stole the photo of my Sam replica, plopped it next to AI-garbage Kermit, put THEIR logo on it then NFLoLs reposted it on their account. Now people think my work is AI & I want to barf. Seek out NFLoLs on FB and comment tagging me!

Does anyone else think that Selena Gomez, the billionaire who owns an 11k sq-ft $5M mansion should maybe think before she uses the term "my people" when speaking about destitute and marginalized immigrants? Yeah? Sharing an ethnicity doesn't put you on their level, princess. Sit the fuck down.

It's a sad day for this country and an insult to the memory of MLK Jr. I made this nine years ago and it's horrible it's still relevant today. Fuck him and his braindead cult, hopefully we survive the next four years and they do not.

With MuppetVision3D and PizzeRizzo on the chopping block at Disney World, I was thrilled to be asked to make this special Rizzo replica for a dear friend of mine. It'll be a nice keepsake.

I'm not trying to be a one-trick-pony with Muppets--I'm capable of replicating anything! Here's a few I've done in the past--King Hippo, Disgruntled Goat, A penguin from a drawing, a Fender Bass...

I have wanted to make this mash-up happen for YEARS--and it finally came together. Two of my favorite pop culture pieces in one. I'm so proud to present my latest Muppet replicas, Beaker & Bunsen as Marty McFly and Doc Brown from Back to the Future 🏫⚡️

I never realized how cruel the lyrics to "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" were until I looked them up. No wonder the dude hated everyone, if I was told my soul was "an appalling dump heap" I’d steal Christmas too.

Jerks.
