My newest, biggest (so far) bookcase collage, this is 16”x20”
Start by painting paper, next cut it up to resemble the spines of books, add a bit of assorted paper from my recycling bin. All of it reassembled into a bookcase.

Hear me out.
Let’s take the money. We name a second Transbay Tube for @bart.gov the Trump Tube and we call the @sfmta.bsky.social T Line extension to North Beach the Trump Line. And a Geary subway can be called, I don't know, the Russian Metro.
We can always change the names after it’s all built.

Year of the Horse
My new latest of mail art uses hand-carved, rubber stamps and was inspired by some of the world’s oldest known horse art. These are on their way to mailboxes around the world. #art #artsky #yearofthehorse

At 16, during my road test, right after nervously forgetting to put the car in reverse for the three-point-turn and hitting a sand bank — I was handed my temporary Mass Driver's License. There is no algorithm that can ever grasp driving in the chaos that is Boston.
This should be something watch.🍿

Waymo made a weirdly cryptic announcement of "groundwork" laying in Boston & Sacramento.
Waymo has requested CPUC permission to expand to Sacramento. CPUC will prob ok it as fast as they can ink their rubber stamp, ie next voting meeting.
Massachusetts hasn't legalized uncrewed ADS yet, IIRC.

Sen. Markey is one of the most progressive, consistent and accomplished members of Congress. When an entitled Kennedy challenged him in the 2020 primary, it was shocking that Nancy Pelosi endorsed Kennedy — Follow the tech money! 💰 Luckily the voters of Massachusetts could not be bought by Waymo.
Autonomous vehicle companies say their cars can do it all. But AVs still rely on remote human beings to navigate dangerous driving situations. We know nothing about who these people are, where they are, or how often they’re telling the AV what to do. I’m demanding answers.

City Lights will be closed all day January 30th in support of the national shutdown to abolish ICE.
Like many others, we are horrified by the unmitigated use of force on civilians in Minneapolis, in the United States, and beyond our borders.
Hope to see you in the streets.

Oh for a Rockwell Kent retrospective. I dream of art museums that have special exhibits of art instead of instagram-able spectacles.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor the historic life and legacy of Dr. King.
We must never stop fighting for his dream of justice, equality, and opportunity for every American.

A 2016 series of Time Travel Photos where I cut, sliced and reconfigured photos of San Francisco and Bay Area nature to show both present and past. Each is an image of an urban space interspersed with images of the location’s natural past. Many imagined where water once flowed. #art #collage
