I saw an art installation in a subway storefront in Brooklyn this weekend that was a dinosaur-themed newsstand and it was delightful.
Photograph of a subway station newsstand art installation. A woman is standing at the edge of the frame on the left, partially blocking the store name, Rex's Dino Store. The products at the store are dinosaur-themed parodies of real products, as are the ads and flyers on the walls. A paper-mache T-Rex attendant stands inside the store wearing a blue apron. Photograph of an ad from the dino store in the style of a Shen Yun poster. The ad has a leaping dinosaur in a dress above some Chinese architecture and more costumed dinosaurs. At the bottom there is text saying "Steg Yun, Cretaceous Before Jurassic" Photograph of flyers on the wall of the dino store. The center flyer has a picture of a moth wearing a black hat with large text saying "MOTHSHIACH IS COMING". Near it is a business card for "Jerry Assic", a rent ad with removable tabs, and a dinosaur injury lawyer ad. Below it on the newsstand shelf is a magazine titled "Lifestyles of the Rich & Amphibious".

A meme in the style of a Captain Crunch box, with the text "Oops! All Mechanical Turks". An illustration of the original mechanical Turk has replaced the captain, and the cereal bowl is filled with illustrations of the man hidden inside the mechanical Turk box.

First attempt at sculpture, done for a class project.

"Chimerality", copper and aluminum wire, polymer clay, acrylic paint, and beads.

#art
Sculpture sitting under colored lights. It has the form factor of a potted plant. The pot is an aluminum wire basket, the stem of the plant is wrapped copper wire. The leaves are two polymer clay human hands, and the flower at the top has four copper wire petals each containing a clay eyeball with a painted blue iris. Inside the pot are aluminum wire roots accented with small gold-colored beads.

Yep, every region has its own scale.
Image shows the text "How's your day going on the Midwest Rating scale?" at the top. Below this is a ratings dial with five categories going right to left with a green to red gradient. The categories are labeled, in order from best to worst: "Could be worse!", "I can't complain", "not half-bad", "Livin' the dream", and "Oh, it's going." The hand on the dial is pointed at "Livin' the dream", which is colored orange.

Having everyone on the planet on the same social media website is bad, actually.

From the articles popping up lately, how I imagine the polling business is going this year:
Political cartoon titled "2024 Pollsters Hard at Work" drawn in pen and colored pencil. It shows a leaking pipe labeled "poll responses" feeding into a machine displaying "Trump: 48.6, Harris 48.3" with dials that are being turned by a person facing the machine. The largest dial is labeled "2016 Poll Trauma", and the smaller dials are labeled with demographic labels. An annoyed-looking man in a black suit is standing on the right looking on.

Finally finished the painting I've been working on!

"Brooklyn Apartment Still Life #1", acrylic on canvas board.

#art
Painting laying on a wooden floor. The painting is of a set of bongo drums and a blue-black plant pot sitting on a dark wood shelf. The plant pot has a blotchy design in light blue and purple. A plant is growing in the pot, and a tendril has grown over the bongos. Behind them is a worn brick wall with mortar spread over much of the brick.

I'm working on a painting.

Cursive is my default handwriting: it's sloppy because I'm sloppy.
Written in cursive with purple ink: "The story so far: in the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of poorly very angry and been widely related as a bad move."
