There's more political BULLSHIT on my feed than ANYTHING ELSE. The whole reason I joined this platform is because it was not twitter or FB... it is EXACTLY THAT.

FACK.

Coolest day since summer struck us in early May, sooo happy to see the Fall season. Yes... I'm so happy now that I'm gonna show some art I did in 2020. #fucktrump #fuckvance #fuckRFKJR #AutismRocks #MikeJohnsonCanEatShit

For the record, I don't want a funeral. I just want to be remembered. I want my work displayed in natural light, I want my books worn and well-read. I want people laughing over what I might have said or done. I want my loved ones happy, that's all I've ever wanted.

#art If you're in the mood for something scary or planning your horror watches for next month: please check out my work for Unsolved Mysteries (on Netflix)! I drew the art featured in season 3, episode 5: "Paranormal Rangers"! It was amazing to be involved with a series I grew up watching.

It's my honest belief that my work deserves to exist more than me. What's that say about me versus my work?

My work's been called "AMAZING", "BREATH-TAKING", "OUT OF THE WORLD" and then some. But I just can't seem to crack that "thousand-dollar-day" barrier.

I mean, I watched the videos, bought the setups, bought the banners, bought the stuff to make the merch. People go outta their way to GUSH over my work.

Folks that have been doing Artist Alley for 10+ years, I dunno how you do it. I've been trying to Artist Alley since 2011 and it's been one miserable expensive failure after another. The ONLY moderately successful con I've worked was the 2016 Indigenous Comic Con, where I netted a whopping $800

Your chances of getting killed by a cool bus are low, but never zero.
Photo of a wooden fence with a school bus peeking over the top toward the viewer. The “s” and “h” are missing in “school” so it spells “cool bus.”

The band CAKE, wouldn't have written their song, "Going The Distance" if they knew anything about race cars.

Re-watching Avengers Endgame and I can't stop thinking about the people who turned to ash in Infinity War. Some of them may have been on a commercial airplane, flying a helicopter, on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, bungee jumping, pregnant women... oh, I don't wanna even go there.

Amidst all this financial chaos, it's STUPID that no one has reopened the classic "DOLLAR-THEATER".

Fuckin' bullshit.

Oh Yelp, it’s cute how you think I’m still in Seattle.

To be fair, one book in particular made me an atheist. It's called "The Bible".

Go right ahead and drop me on top of the pile of American Citizens that were completely unaware, yet unsurprised at the idea of the United States Postal Service having their own podcast.

I certainly hope this makes me a better human being.

You're really funny asking me where the art is when you're the one who fucked up my invoice.
