A real ham that's low on bread 🥪 Colorado based starving artist type. My politics are planet and people. My art doesn't understand you either.

I was going to say Rothko, but he's a common pick and I would rather support living artists. So it's a toss up between Jameson Green and Robin F. Williams

Ambiguous certainty Oil pastel on paper 14x17 Finally finished. Been working on this one for longer than most due to the RA, running out of colors, and thinking harder about art and my own work. I shall not bore you with the details, however. #art #blueskyart #artwork #traditionalart #weirdart

An abstract amalgamation of shapes, cartoon-like facial features, and squiggles.

King of the hill meme where a father tells his son that soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking.
Soccer has been scratched out and replaced with "contemporary art."

The son responds by asking "why do you have to hate what you don't understand?"

"from my position, the only objective definition of "art" is that an artist points to something and says "this is art." This is your position. Please don't mistake my position just because you can't defend yours. My position is that art has requirements beyond just saying it's art.

It can happen to you Oil pastel on paper 14x17 I ran out of fixative so I couldn't do my usual layers and squiggly zigzags and things, but that's ok. It's a worthwhile experiment in seeing it in this form. #art #artsky #blueskyart #weirdart #traditionalart

Omnia ad hominem, omnia ad fragilia Oil pastel on paper 14x17 I used a translate bot to give me the English to Latin translation. There is a joke there, but it may take some work to figure out. #art #artwork #drawing #oilpastel #blueskyart #artsky #traditionalart #weirdart #lowbrow

Messy abstract drawing showing random shapes and cartoon like facial features arranged in a mad assortment of chaos and confusion. The drawings are crude and the colors harsh

Happy birthday to Jack Kerouac. I know a lot of people kinda roll their eyes at the beats these days, but my copy of 'On The Road' and 'American Haiku' helped me out a bunch when I was a young drifter.

A poem I return to often. Written by a polish survivor of German occupation

My apologies to chance for calling it necessity.
My apologies to necessity if I'm mistaken, after all.
Please, don't be angry, happiness, that I take you as my due.
May my dead be patient with the way my memories fade.
My apologies to time for all the world I overlook each second.
My apologies to past loves for thinking that the latest is the first.
Forgive me, distant wars, for bringing flowers home.
Forgive me, open wounds, for pricking my finger.
I apologize for my record of minuets to those who cry from the depths.
I apologize to those who wait in railway stations for being asleep today at five a.m.
Pardon me, hounded hope, for laughing from time to time.
Pardon me, deserts, that I don't rush to you bearing a spoonful of water.
And you, falcon, unchanging year after year, always in the same cage,
your gaze always fixed on the same point in space,
forgive me, even if it turns out you were stuffed.
My apologies to the felled tree for the table's four legs.
My apologies to great questions for small answers.
Truth, please don't pay me much attention.
Dignity, please be magnanimous.
Bear with me, O mystery of existence, as I pluck the occasional thread from your train.
Soul, don't take offense that I've only got you now and then.
My apologies to everything that I can't be everywhere at once.
My apologies to everyone that I can't be each woman and each man.
I know I won't be justified as long as I live,
since I myself stand in my own way.
Don't bear me ill will, speech, that I borrow weighty words,
then labor heavily so that they may seem light.

Wislawa Szymborska

Diabolical calm 14x17 Oil pastel, colored pencil, acrylic paint on paper. Mostly finished. Might do some fine detail work later, but I am out of fixative at the moment and anything else I could add would just muddy up rather than sit on top. #art #artsky #blueskyart #pasteldrawing

A very messy abstract work with various cartoon like facial features

Catastrophic mediations Oil pastel on paper 11x14 Finished. This will be the first in a series of drawings on paper which will go up for sale as soon as they are all finished. I plan on selling at a sliding scale to increase accessibility. #art #blueskyart #artsky #artwork

And if you never have before, make some resistance art to go that extra mile.

Abstract portrait of a cartoon like trump with a giant screaming mouth, golf club in arm, tweeting on his phone, golf ball testicles, wanking off a small dick/eyeball slobbering with a golden tongue shitting himself and wrapping it up in an American flag

Donald Trump getting hit in the face with a pie. He has Viagra and money in his coat pocket and his hair resembles a penis

A painting titled "American nude" showing a giant bloated man with a massive mouth for a head sitting on a toilet far too small

I'm LunchMeat and these are my Meatheads. Begun when I was an idiot teen, I return to them in my mid/late 30s as a way of dealing both with the existential horror of the modern world (the cartoony scream and fragmentation of human features) and fighting AI images (by being a mess) More in alt

$I think most people who pay attention to what's going on in the world today are absolutely experiencing some form of spiritual/mental/existential crisis. I think lots of folks would agree with me about that, too. These paintings are my way of addressing that directly, both my own feelings of it and to act as a sort of mirror for others. Showing us our own inner state and our own fractured sense of being. I try to keep things cartoony specifically as a reminder that there is a comedic element to all this tragedy and that we are sympathetic critters at the end of the day. I need that reminder for myself as much as I think others do.$

By mixing abstraction, cartoons, graffiti, and the occasional landscape into my work, I am bringing my artistic inspirations and backgrounds all together. That's it. That's the long and short of it.

I title my pieces in ways that I hope cause people to take a second look at the painting and rethink what might be being displayed. If I can bring them in with the image, get them a second time with the title, then maybe JUST MAYBE I can also get them to engage with and question more of what's going on in the art and in themselves.

That's my hope anyway. It's a tricky goal to reach, not going to lie. And I kinda suck at it lol
