I drew this for my friend Bella after she said a rude word to her brother. may it be a reminder for you too.
Remember what ZAK GRAPETASTIC always says, Bella: crude sharpie drawing of a skateboarding bunch of grapes with arms and legs. it's wearing sunglasses & a tall cowboy hat saying "before you speak, pause & G.R.I.N.K.: is it GRUE? is it GRELPFUL? is it GRINSPIRING? is it GRECESSARY? is it GRIND?"

Hunter Biden, shirtless, reclining in a bathtub with his hands folded over his chest a cigarette dangling from his mouth. (is this photo real? I really don't know. I downloaded it from OP's whitehouse.gov link which also featured a picture of Obama in a turban and IDK if that's remotely real either. Jesus Christ what a time we live in.) across the center of the image are the words "COCAINE DISCOVERED" in the Dark Souls "NOUN VERBED" format. image creator used: https://rezuaq.be/new-area/image-creator/

the babies are kinda cute, but then you get pictures where the chicks are hiding under the wing of their parent with their legs poking out & it quickly gets disturbing
a male African jacana carrying several chicks under his wing. he's a mahogany-colored bird with a white neck and sky blue forehead. but from the way he's carrying his chicks, it looks like he has about eight protruding grey legs with freakishly long toes at all sorts of angles.

God ordained that "Down the Road Tonight" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range should point forward to the need for Twin Peaks
the bridge from "Down the Road Tonight" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range which is a song about a brothel: There were movies in the parlor They were dealing one-eyed jacks And when I said I loved her She said, "Just keep a-coming back"

a mostly dark photo of a campground. in the foreground is a campfire crackling away under crisscrossing logs. just beyond it is a canopy tent with string lights hanging from above. you can sort of make out a silhouette or two.

birds for the bird god, feathers for the feather throne
young red-tailed hawk standing on the ground next to some rabbitbrush with his wings splayed. he's looking down intently, hunting a prairie dog (but not doing a very good job of it). same red-tail in the same spot, now facing toward the camera with his wingspan on full display. these photos were taken by my colleague George Ho.

@usidore.bsky.social hey Usidore, did you know that in the Earth game known as RuneScape, there's a blue wizard named Isidor? are you guys related or something?

2 Kings 2:23-24 (NKJV) 23 Then [Elisha] went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

"huge chunks" is a bit rich
https://educationdata.org/student-loan-debt-statistics Graph title: "Historic Total* National Student Loan Debt (in trillions)" "*Totals as of each year's fourth fiscal quarter." "Education Data Initiative Source: U.S. Federal Reserve" Graph starts in 2006 at $0.52 trillion. Total national student loan debt then climbed nearly linearly up to $1.76 trillion in 2022. There was a tiny dip down in 2023 to $1.73 trillion. In 2024 it climbed back up to $1.77 trillion. https://educationdata.org/student-loan-debt-statistics Graph title: "Federal Student Borrowers (in millions)" "Education Data Initiative sources: U.S. Federal Reserve & U.S. Department of Education" Graph begins in 2007 with 28.3 million federal student debt borrowers. The yearly total climbs gradually until plateauing around 42.9 million borrowers in 2018. There was then a very slight bump in total borrowers during the Biden administration (up to 43.5 million in 2022) that returned to 42.7 million in 2024.

I mean this as respectfully as possible: you can absolutely tell he wrote this after his wife died.
Crow Blacker Than Ever When God, disgusted with man, Turned towards heaven, And man, disgusted with God, Turned towards Eve, Things looked like falling apart. But Crow Crow Crow nailed them together, Nailing heaven and earth together- So man cried, but with God's voice. And God bled, but with man's blood. Then heaven and earth creaked at the joint Which became gangrenous and stank- A horror beyond redemption. The agony did not diminish. Man could not be man nor God God. The agony Grew. Crow Grinned Crying: "This is my Creation," Flying the black flag of himself.

I saw this webcomic at age 12 and have been hyphen-shifting ever since
a very old xkcd comic back from when they were hand-drawn (https://xkcd.com/37/). a sketch of two stick figures standing next to a car. one of them says "Man, that's a sweet ass-car." caption: "My hobby: whenever anyone calls something an [adjective]-ass [noun], I mentally move the hyphen one word to the right."

11"x14" collage with the mismatching words "Tetris'd together / WITH A MACHETE" at the top. this one is strongly blue and reddish-pink. on the left, Luke Skywalker drives his lightsaber into an orb while Blade looms over a group of cartoon vampires angrily watching a skater whizz by in a coffin pose. on the right, Wolverine takes cover behind a Far Side panel as Darth Vader deflects blaster fire with his lightsaber. A giant pink-and-yellow-tinted camera lens frames Neen Williams grinding down Mount Fuji toward a graffiti-styled drawing of a DNA strand and an alien. and so on.

11"x14" collage, this one mostly red and yellow. an evil-eyed bat hangs upside-down from the top of the canvas between Laura Palmer's school photo and the pirate flag of Edward Low. Black Panther rides a pegasus into battle above a saxophonist ripping a solo and an axe-wielding Wendy Torrance. the spidery head of Norris from "The Thing", labeled "BEAUTY SCHOOL TEST HEAD", crawls over a lycanthropic Green Goblin as he reaches a claw toward a skater wallriding a tiny pyramid. and so on.

another 11"x14" collage. if this one could be said to have a color scheme, it would be primarily reddish-pink, tan, and green. Venom (the symbiote, not the substance) drips down from the top of the collage onto the blue M&M, half-hidden behind a big scroll that reads "SECRET PIRATE KNOTS". the partially-constructed Death Star hovers behind the words "LUNATIC FRINGE" and a panel of Moon Knight in his "Mr. Knight" look. a xenomorph egg glows green through its cracks next to a picture captioned "Making an omelette" of two skateboarders bailing. a bunch of moldering skeletons brandish axes and swords at a monkey with a banana who is gazing at the words "NO GODS / NO MASTERS / NO MONEY". and so on.

an 11"x14" collage likewise made from comics, Thrashers, and kids' books. this one doesn't really have a strong color scheme - maybe dark blue and red, if anything. Thor winds up his hammer, about to obliterate a cartoon penguin waving and saying "help me". Yuto Horigome grinds a graphite sketch of a cannon. the shark from the cover of "Jaws" emerges from the bottom of the collage to intercept a broom-riding Kiki and her cat Jiji before they fly over a map of a medieval battle. and so on.

posting my older collages here, starting with: Tanner
an 11"x14" collage. the color scheme is somewhat olive green. the materials are mostly sourced from Thrasher magazines, Marvel comics, and a book called "The Dangerous Book for Boys". A debonair pirate in a striped shirt strikes a cool "devil-may-care" pose, leaning his elbow on a building drawn in a Far Side panel. Marisa Dal Santo, also in a striped shirt, melon grabs above a sword-wielding Venom and the assembled phrases "And on the pedestal these words appear: / Don't go looking for allegories here". Natas Kaupas no-complies onto a cartoon fire hydrant which has been dropped into a gravity well from a yellow VHS with Pac-Man on it. and so on.
