When it’s time to sketch — “this will be popular for the amount of detail alone” … but when it’s time to ink it:

Correct. Turns out the name was accidentally culturally appropriated, and since moving to MN, where EVERYTHING from parks to sports teams are called “manitou” — I just had to ditch the name. These days, I’m more of a fixture in the Twin Cities art scene, instead of being active online.

No one seems to remember Trump gutted the FDA the first time, and the result was baby-food makers spent money on stock buy-backs instead of much needed equipment, resulting in food poisoning and infant deaths. You’d think people would remember, especially the so-called culture of life…

So, in conclusion, Imgur is going to the furries (which is whatever), someone keeps posting werewolves there, and everyone who comments on those posts is going to horny-jail/monsterfucker-prison … and sharing the best werewolf memes I never knew existed.

It’s not “change”, it’s a harvest. Trump’s friends are liquidating America. Faster they do it, the sooner they can run off with the money.

I’m so very busy these days it would be very irresponsible of me to take commissions. I’d never get any of them finished. Sorry. But thanks for the interest.

Migraine relief: Acetaminophen, Aspirin(nsaid), and Caffeine - over the counter. And green lights. I know, sounds like a placebo, but there’ve been decent studies conducted. And I’ll take a placebo effect any day.

The instant Trump begins setting interest rates on his whims, we get hyper inflation to the point the world stops trading in US dollars. After that, US debts is worthless and there won’t even be a corpse of the US economy left to even recognize we ever had one. Trump + Fed = US collapse.

A reminder, our art events can involve up to 140 artists with two pieces, each. We’ve had up to 210 works of art in our care at any one time. Good luck duplicating that.

Every art show OAC hosts: “Can I bring my kids?” Sure. We don’t BAN kids. But we also don’t censor the artists, so … they’re gonna see some shit. AND TO THEIR CREDIT — most everyone has been like, “that’s cool. We’ll talk about what they saw afterwards.”

No lawn, but a north facing window that needs to tell a story to anyone coming into my building.

Thank you. But I’m also undeniably politically rage fueling. Sorry.

I get that, but sharing my foster cats, plants, studio, gallery, bikes, and any fun stuff from various organizations — get no traction.

Well I lost a bet… But I’m happy about that. Congrats.

I don’t talk about this poster enough — folks on all political spectrums seem to buy into it. That just fills me with so much confused rage that we STILL live in a pre-collapse stage empire ruled by oligarchs.

I’m sure Iowa’s laser focus on removing civil rights protections from trans people will somehow fix all those pesky cancer issues. Meanwhile, trans people should move to Minnesota. I can’t speak for the iron range, but the twin cities welcomes you all.

My favorite part of this: some red-hat out there is buying a new truck, TV, groceries, clothing, booze, a night at a strip-club, and he’s shouting “take that, libs!” the whole time. Elon will fire him next week, and with his savings gone and unemployment services gutted, well … who gives a shit.

Better hurry. There’s probably another Trump cabinet position opening up with Tate’s name on it.

I mean … actual audits over seven years, over a legal framework, with an actual management structure to claim accountability … I can see, NPR, that you’re trying to point to good examples in the softest/non-Elon offending terms possible, but … Elon’s in a k-hole. Talk to us instead.

Good ol’-merican extortionist roots. But now I worry this means the US will send an armed occupation force. And will they be “keeping the peace” by stopping Russia from advancing, or stopping Ukraine from defending (and taking back its stolen territory)?

Take up a four-seat table at a crowded coffee-shop/cafe. Slow-walk/block traffic at IKEA. Walk the furry child-substitute.

Every convention:
“Love your work!”
“I love yours, too!”
“Can it be my turn to hold the $50?”
“Sure! Then maybe come back to my table tomorrow and I can hold the $50?”
“Okay! But then we go and drink the $50. Deal?”
“You know it!”

I feel you. So tired of the taste of cough drops. So many varieties but they all taste the same in the end. They should sell them as appetite suppressants.

Eric and I ran through several variations, trying to figure out what worked on a black field. We kinda gave up the illustration focus, and worked more to keep the flow of patterns working.

“When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace turns into a circus.”
…and when a criminal moves into the Executive Office, the government becomes complicit in a crime spree.
