  1. OH! I drew this the other day and I forgot to post it.

    So here it is.

    I call it The Passenger because I sort of blanked out and drew this piece while listening to “The Passenger” by Iggy Pop on repeat? So here you go.

  2. An established artist who has been shown at the Tate and the Moma, whom I have known for 75% of my life and adore, said my art was "primitive, but charming in an outsider art sort of way".... and I honestly don't know what to do with that.

    I mean, the primitive part is true, I've really only been painting for a couple of years, and I have zero art training outside of wandering the world's museums.

    I can't speak to charming.

    I know, absolutely know, it was meant as a compliment, and not as a side swipe. I know this person really well, and if they wanted to insult, they are well armed. He was trying to convince me to enter some art shows.

    But still, it kinda stings. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I may be too sensitive to be a painter. ;)

  4. you know the trope of the sketchy van that drives around and offers #freecandy to kids in order to kidnap them?

    this is definitely the military recruitment version of that.

  8. I spent a year making daily self portraits with ballpoint pen. I am assembling an art book with the images + related watercolor paintings. Finally started scanning in the images. January is scanned. 1/12 of the way there!

  10. I so enjoyed reading the story of Charles Joseph Smith in @thetonearm this morning. I'm a sucker for both outsider artists AND extreme technical prowess on an instrument, and seeing them combined in one completely delightful person is very rare indeed.

    Fascinating guy. Chicago, you're lucky to have him amongst you!

  12. «Внутренний сад»
    Иногда земля хранит больше памяти, чем люди.
    Старые домики, родные воздушные линии, опоры - всё это кажется заброшенным и почти бессловесным. Но под слоем тлена и пыли продолжает существовать другой мир: дикий, цветущий, упрямо живой.

    Мне хотелось соединить ускользающий пейзаж старой Астрахани с внутренним садом памяти - местом, которое невозможно уничтожить полностью.

  16. Ruach the bug
    I have painted this creature a number of times now, mostly in watercolor and gouache
    But since I get to paint him on a huge panel during the Art Brut Biennale in may, I thought I should get some more practice in
    So here it is, bigger, using acrylic paint on a canvas

  17. I like working in pairs because I end up with siblings, friends, lovers.
