Between creating art i do this kind of stuff. (Random, I know.)

Still really proud of this piece.

It's for sale if you want it.
Make me an offer.

"medula OBLUEgotta" inspired by Matisse's blue cut outs.

What they talking bout?
They ain't talking bout nothing.

I've been working on painting signs from my favorite spots in Houston and I'm almost done with the one in my profile pic and I'm super proud of myself because it actually looks good.

MUSTAAAAAAAARRRRRRDDDDD

Ok hair

Nightly couch hang ritual. Yes his ears are cleaned now.

Sir, we are not calling these skeets!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Well shit. I'm itching to get back into photography. And that just means more money I have to spend.

I just hope bluesky doesn't turn into Twitter.

We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse. Unfortunately that well is now poisoned. All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022. Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system. We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself. And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere. Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set. A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it. After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process. But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting. Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X. And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work. We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over. Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter

Was gonna make some enamel pins out of this but I got so busy at work. Might have to do it tho ..

Finally got my first commission for art in about 2 years. WE'RE BACK BAYBEEE

I showed Idris this video and he went in his room, shut the door, and went to sleep....

My pfp is of a staple back in Houston that I miss a whole bunch. Them fried biscuits and the wing dinner with fries was my go to back when I was 250+ lbs. I'm gonna paint this one day and it's gonna be put up in a museum.

One of my fave episodes of Bob's Burgers is the butt worms episode. Won't be elaborating further.

During my nap yesterday I dreamt that as I was cutting out my locs that had grown super long (I cut my locs a few weeks ago because they were really unhealthy) but there was A HUGE TARANTULA LIVING IN THEM??????

The worst thing about your off days is when you don't set your alarm but you still wake up like you're going to work.... Like damn, let me sleep in!

Want Mike Tyson a trump supporter? I don't think he would be this nice to Kamala 😂😂😂

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Chillleeeee

You know what, you right. Cuz the one actual boxer he fought, arguably not the greatest, beat him. So let me just let it slide. But I'm muting Jake Paul from my life 😂

That's crazy. I fully expected Mike to put him through the mat in 5.7 seconds... Now we're never gonna hear the end of this. Uggghhh

I'm tired boss...

"medulla oBLUEngata"
One of three pieces in my "Heavy is the Blues" series.

Inspired by Henri Matisse's blue cut outs.

Jake won?!?!?!

Thank you, homie! Still here. Still kicking. A bit more fly now tho if I do say so myself 😂

This is an opp. Move accordingly.

I'm also on a really random side quest that's gonna take like 3 years but if I can do it I'll finally make my sister, niece, and nephew really proud so that's all that matters.

While I had to step away from the nft space not only for my mental health but also to make sure I kept a roof over my head, I noticed a lot of people saying i quit or gave up. I don't understand that. I needed to make sure I was good. Because no one else would. Anyway. I'm still creating.
