  Detail: “Beach Toys” a risograph print currently hanging at @thebrownbuilding in the “POOR MATERIALS” show curated by @sketchbook.definition and open Saturday and Sunday evening this weekend. I’m so proud. As we were driving home from the show and after-show tacos I got a Venmo notification that for the first time ever a stranger paid money in exchange for art I made. 80% of that sale will go back to The Brown Building which is a wellness and community center run by and for BIPOC trans folks. Feeling: gratitude and joy.

  My latest comic page was one of the many pieces in @raquellejacs’ The Apartment Art Show. I feel honored to be part of such a vibrant and fun show. Such great energy. It’s a tall piece, so I’ve reformatted it for Instagram. It’s called “spite swimming | sanity swimming.” More autobiographical comics are coming.

  Hidden Zines! This story is super-charming: Inside a hollow library book, a secret library By Tori Marlan. It’s about this art project: Decentralized Zine Library Project. As I’ve now been *in* some publications that were anthology zines (see: #burn_all_books) it has a special meaning for me. Make more art and put it in the world!

  Quote of the Day: Brian Eno on NFTs. Brian Eno on NFTs & Automatism on the crypto syllabus: I’ve been approached several times to ‘make an NFT.’ So far nothing has convinced me that there is anything worth making in that arena. ‘Worth making’ for me implies bringing something into existence that adds value to the world, not just to a bank account....

  Mostly I don’t want to take selfies in front of art but for a very few including Mr. Warhol(a) I make an exception. The Broad is an overwhelming and yet somehow small museum. And good lord, two rooms with Basquiats? Intense.

  Wayne White I surely wish I’d seen Wayne White’s exhibit “Big Lectric Fan to Keep Me Cool While I Sleep” — it is goofy and wonderfully made. I’m ragged but I’m right, you know. I think I’ll watch Beauty is Embarrassing a few more times before the year 2021 ends.

  Do You Want To Art Trade?! “Cube Cat’s Drink” is Riso printed by the amazing @burn_all_books at 8-1/2″x11″. Do you have a physical zine you’re proud of? Or an original drawing? Or a killer sticker? This is an experiment in art-trading. I love mail and I love physical art. I’ve got 23 ready to go. DM me and let’s do a deal!

  “Archival Magic” seminar. This morning I attended a presentation Dustin Renwick about “Archival Magic” via the FieldTrips effort by Creative Mornings. I like the idea of using archival public domain resources as part of creative endeavors. I appreciate that he’s turned a good deal of research into a handy list to find treasures of the past that can...

  RIP Richard Williams Richard Williams has died. He is one of the people who has inspired me over the years. I have done rudimentary animation as part of my web work over the years. Some of that work was featured in a book on Macromedia Flash 2 a long time ago. I can’t claim the title of animator...

  Richard Gate (and jQuery) Richard Gate is my brother-in-law. I’ve mentioned him once before. I put together a website for him in February 2007. I think it’s a great little site that does precisely what it needs to. It introduces you to an artist’s work. I worked with him this week to provide something interesting on the main richardgate.com...

  Ray at Night and Other Delights On Saturday night Leah, Alexandra, Tamara Leeper and I went out to Ray at Night, an art walk on Ray Street here in San Diego. I mentioned attending Ray at Night in 2003, but I’m not totally sure what year I first went. They’ve been putting it on for almost 10 years. Before we went...

  “Art” I’m not sure what I think of these now. They’re interesting graphic designs, and definitely I used what I learned from them when I made my headers. I’m not sure they qualify as art. Untitled, 1997. Untitled. 11 June 2000.

  Askew and Askance, 1992 Since I’ve known how to draw or create, I have made self-portraits in words. I always include down the places I have been, and where I may go next. I also include how I identify myself. (this was made on a Mac and used to be part of the non-professional part of my portfolio, I’m...

  The Best Life A Pot Can Have Joe Bennion has a beautiful post over on his blog: The baking dish. It’s about different ways to work. Here’s the crucial bit: …he and I work differently to get to the same point. His approach involves a series of thumbnail sketches and maquettes, from which one is chosen to be executed full scale. I...

  Pre-Gaga Gaga. Deleted: The first time I heard of Lady Gaga it was from Krisztianna. At the time I thought her fandom of Miss Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was delusional or maybe even ironic. As it turns out, Lady Gaga actually has quite a lot going on for her. She’s worked hard, and for many years to...

  Chatroulette: Merton, Ben Folds The wonder serendipity that was part of the net I remember now gets YouTubed and shared back with the world. I wrote about Chatroulette last month, here’s some wonderful video that is internet + piano + video + flash-enabled randomized connected chat. It’s a wonderful selection. Note: there are swear words. I still like Ben...

  Playing around with deformed images The other day the super-cool Pinguino was asking about the effect you get when an image does not download properly. I had wondered about it before, so I opened some images, tore out a big chunk of the underlying data, and looked at them. The first is what it looks like when a GIF is...
