My back hurts so much today and I don’t get sick days and can’t afford a day off. Making a living off one’s body is so hard in the long run. The worst part is the shame of not having a better option, to have played life so poorly that endless pain is kinda all there is.

I think this is one of the better paintings I’ve made in the last few years. It’s a little corner of my life, showing how I cultivate plants in my apartment and admire the beauty of the larger flora outdoors. It’s got Coyote, a little bit of drugs, and good light.

There’s a subset of dog owners who are the most entitled and delusional part of the citizenry. They’re stunned they aren’t allowed to deposit urine and feces in a public space. I cannot fathom what their side of the argument even is, just shit everywhere?

It’s always so refreshing when a big time artist isn’t brimming with bullshit. It’s wild how market success will detach someone from the need to touch down in reality when talking about themselves.
