#throwbackthursday from a trip to LA I did a year or two back (for a Wayne Shorter tribute concert at the Bowl, IIRC). I had picked up a fresh copy of a Bukowski book, then later started #drawing thematically to it in an over-the-top bonkers kitschy bungalow in the Hollywood hills. #artshare #art

#vinyloftheday one of my favorite 12" LPs, the last studio outing from #ScrittiPolitti. I really wish they'd put out something new, but Green Gartside and Co seem just fine in semi-retired/occasional UK or JP live gig life.

No, #youtube, you clearly don't get it, because this is only hidden a few days before you re-introduce the same section(s) into the #UX flow again, and I hide it, again, and again.
It's yet another #darkpattern, much like how I hide anything with "Mix:" as a prefix on the main page.
Do better.

#throwbackthursday #illustration is a portrait of "sckamb" Who was a very popular artist and user of the deviantART platform when I first joined. IIRC this is mostly pencil, gouache, watercolor, and tombo marker.

Milyar in Santa Clara ain't too shabby, but I'm generally happy with anyplace that can make qishr (or in this case a saffron latte) reel gud.

My old studio, at what was previously the Keystone Restaurant Supply. That space was fun as all be damned. Really great crew. #throwbackthursday

#sketchbook November 2025. Also, this is less about the unfinished #drawing of a woman with a parasol, and more about endorsement of the quality pistachio vanilla brittle I scored last week.

"to fit your pedigree" is a mix of acrylics and screen printing inks on cold press board and painters tape (part of these designs were done from selecting over the last several months key bits of said tape that I had used and decided to repurpose) chopped up and composed into this. #art #artshare

Yo, #reddit, why does this not offer an "all off" setting like so many other notification settings? Is it because of poor product design, or because you want to force more notifications for engagement? If its the latter, I just think I'll go "read only mode" and not vote on ANYTHING. #darkpatterns

#sketchbook November 2025. saw Cellarmaker has a new beer called "Hop Making Sense" which of course led me to rewatch one of my favorite concert films of all time, the #TalkingHeads 'Stop Making Sense' which in turn led me to trying to #draw frontman David Byrne repeatedly #art #drawing #artshare

Every once in a while I find a scrap of paper or cardboard and just #doodle random stuff on it as a casual exercise, and every once in a while something remotely amusing will surface. Such as "spooky dooky"
I've left it taped up somewhere in Japantown for people to either steal or trash. #art

New #art, "libris saturnalia" involves some unearthed experiments I did painting acrylics (and cutting into) all over some textured book covers from the 1950s, scanning, then atomic pixel-smashing with other mixed media I did on cold press board/ masonite. #artshare #abstractpainting
