Fractal Housewives 3 (2012)

I worked on this series in the winter of 2012.

King Jellyfish in the Night King's Army

King Jellyfish in the Night King's Army (2017)

The real world is in a much darker and deeper place than this, and most of it is occupied by jellyfish and things. We just happen to to forget all that.

That is not said right.

Judge Kavanaugh Makes His Opening Statement

Judge Kavanaugh Makes His Opening Statement (2018)

We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh. But we are united, as professors of law and scholars of judicial institutions, in believing that he did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court of our land.
--2400+ law professors

Trump Transition Team 7

Trump Transition Team 7 (2016)

“We’re in Crazytown. I don’t know why any of us are here,” he reportedly said. Kelly was known to refer to the president an "an idiot," commenting that “it’s pointless to try to convince him of anything,” while his predecessor, Priebus, described Trump’s bedroom—where he watches cable news and writes furious tweets—as “the devil’s workshop.”
--Bob Woodward, Fear

Trump Transition Team 9

Trump Transition Team 9 (2016)

Trump’s magical mixture is to make being afraid feel like fun. His rallies are a hybrid of concert revelry and combat prep.

Male Model Remix

Male Model Remix (2007)

In a series of comments about nude modeling at About.com, a graduate student remembered "the sound of 20 erasers rubbing against paper [recording] the change in anatomy," as the only discernible reaction after a model had a hard-on during a pose.

Alien Druggie

Alien Druggie (2016)

      "Something I been wondering about you," Lamont said. "You guys are coming to own the world.  You fly across the planets, Mars and that shit. What you want with crack?"
     "We seek to broaden our minds." 
      Lamont snorted. "Right. You might as well hit yourself in the head with a hammer."
     "We seek escape," the alien said.
     "I don't buy that, neither. What you got to escape from?"
     The Krel looked at him. "Nothing."
[...]
     "I lied to Colonel Zipp," it said. "We want cocaine for kicks."

Robot Drone's Child is Taken at the Border and Put in a Cage

Robot Drone's Child is Taken at the Border and Put in a Cage (2018)

The essence of Trumpism is dominance and punishment of those outside the tribal fold. It is probably even wrong to call this a policy of deterrence. It’s a policy of punishment...This isn’t a byproduct. Child separation as punishment, on display, was always a feature not a bug.
--Josh Marshall

Trump Transition Team 6

Trump Transition Team 6 (2016)

This is open corruption, and it has been openly embraced.

That fills me with grief, but my grief can’t make it untrue. And if this benthic sadness has any value, it’s that clarity. There is no more equivocating to do. You don’t have to equivocate about Trump’s corruption—or Wilbur Ross’, or Scott Pruitt’s. You don’t have to parse whether a “falsehood” is really a “lie.” It is simply true that the president is corrupt and that his supporters celebrate his corruption.
--Lily Loofbourow

Trump Transition Team 1 (2016)

One thing we learned this week that we should always remember: A majority of Republicans in this country support prison camps. For kids.

Robot Drone Evolves

Robot Drone Evolves (2017)

We have a significant human condition challenge ahead of us, so it cannot be just an economic contribution; it has to be a massive reimagining and redefinition of how to find meaning in one's life if it is not in one's job.

The Meteorologists Start Salivating Remix

The Meteorologists Start Salivating Remix (2012)

The astronomer is, in some measure, independent of his fellow astronomer; he can wait in his observatory till the star he wishes to observe comes to his meridian; but the meteorologist has his observations bounded by a very limited horizon, and can do little without the aid of numerous observers furnishing him contemporaneous observations over a wide-extended area.
--James Pollard Espy

By taking our waste away from us so efficiently, it makes us more inclined to dispose more.

Still Life with Lava and Pears

Still Life with Lava and Pears (2003)

 

I could find lava. And I could certainly find pears. But rarely both.

This piece was made before I was making work large enough to print. It goes out for Karl.
