It's wild when these people proof text out that God repeatedly calls for nations to be just.
Mike Johnson is so full of shit, you can smell it. "Yes well, God did command us to love each other, but this doesn't apply to us."
Speaking on behalf of a religion that actively sought to spread itself to every country in the world whether invited or not, Speaker Johnson would like to share with you the Biblical case for strong borders.

I was driving in the rain last night and my windshield wiper flew off! I had to lean over to the passenger side to be able to see to drive to the auto parts store and all I could think of was this guy:

Some portraits I've done over the past few days. I learned a fun new trick for salt and pepper hair.

The second pic is one I drew in public. Before I left, I offered it to the man in the portrait and he seemed pretty excited about it. It felt nice!

"Granger was charged on Wednesday with criminal mischief resulting in damage of less than $250"

Sounds like about $250 less damage

I drew this lady who looks like she's living in a lake for 1000 years and you've disturbed her sleep and now she's about to fuck shit up, "The Ring" style. #mygod #whathaveidone

I had a zoom session with my therapist yesterday. Based on his shirt, my guess is that he'll still be hungover tomorrow.

The thing that has drawn me to portraits and figures is story. Every scar tells a story. Every wrinkle points to a life. A laugh or a flash of rage show up so immediately on the face. Art with people tells a story-even if you don't know what the story is. 1/3

Every film I watch in 2026 (a thread):

1. The Shawshank Redemption-I'm watching some of IMDB's highest rated movies with my daughter and she hasn't seen it before. It's a crazy fantasy since a powerful person does something wrong and then receives justice??? WHAT??? 1/🧵

They can't stop you from buying a glass of water and slopping it all over your AI
Too bad, slopguy

I was poking around reading about AI today. I was looking at an article on Substack and the app recommended me another article by @pattonoswalt.bsky.social . His article was a beautiful meditation on time with loved ones, time "wasted" on frivolous things, the virtue of relaxation, 1/2

Despite some struggles, I'm really proud of the art I've made this year. I wanted to paint a lot of faces and I feel like I've made some really interesting stuff. Thanks to everyone for looking and buying and interacting with my stuff online!

I'm glad to have found Tom and his books this year. You should go check him out!
I know it can be a bit cringey when people put their children on social media but I decided to change my banner and include my seven youngest in it. They've had a fucking rough year, and it was touch and go for a while back the start, and I'm proud they've made it through it.

We watched The Muppets Christmas Carol over (you guessed it) Christmas. It was pretty amazing how it chilled everyone out for 86 minutes. It was great! I hope your holidays were great (and stay great if you've got more time off!)

A Christmas drawing I did for you. (You should try saying "peanits" about 32 times in a row and see if you don't start to enjoy it.)

"I need this like I need a...." This piece is 24"x24" on plywood and I have a cool frame for it. This piece is one of the biggest pieces I've done.

A new art I did. 24"x24" on plywood. (The plywood worked really well and I love the way it looks in the frame.)For sale! Someone you know would like this for Christmas! DM me if you're interested or else catch it when it comes to my website.

To remember what order to paint oils in, I just remember the saying "Fat over lean-defective peen. Lean over fat-friend of St Pat"

I tried doing a double boiler to make a dessert. Stupid pilgrims and their stupid holiday.

I did some serious art (TM) this weekend. I painted these Christmas cards which rule. (I actually painted the two normal ones last week as someone walked me through the process).
