An innocuous protein bar landed me in the ER with anaphylaxis two days ago. Time to check that off my bucket list and begin further allergen investigation… 😬

Wanted a single-page swatch chart that was easily glanceable for my Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, so I made one. Realized how critical saving time is when producing art. If you want one, download it here: www.etsy.com/listing/4406... #art #fabercastell #polychromos

2. I’m happy that New York temps are dipping.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.
They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.
We must fight back.

Bruh, I visited my family home recently and found this shirt. I’m pretty sure I designed it in my youth, but have no idea why and to whom it was distributed???

I have asked so many friends if they played this Coke MMO growing up and nobody ever knows what I’m talking about! FINALLY, screenshot evidence.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
