"Color Composition with orange, cheese spreader, sleep mask, and two black bananas" is really a contemporary masterpiece of epic proportions which talks about the fragility of the human psyche. #WhenLifeGivesYouBlackBananas #artorgarbage #streetart #stilllife #color

MFAs: time to quit when the fix-it guy who works for the studio building just made the world's best painting on accident and you're paying $40,000 a year to make a lamer version #WestOaklandArt #TimeForFigurativeWork #Crapstraction #streetart #artorgarbage

It's hard to tell whether art students, the recently dislocated homeless encampment, or aliens left this silvery apocalypse warmth blanket tied to a stop sign. Waving in the wind, it stands as a freak flag for all three. #AreYouStillHereAliens #FuturisticInteriorDecoratorsNeeded #ThisIsAWarningForPoopOnTheStreet #LazyArtStudents #streetart #artorgarbage #innovationcorridor

The cup of angst runneth over in the painting rooms. This drawing of a sad girl in an easily escapable jail cell reads: A FAILURE. I MUST PROCEED. I AM AN ARTIST. I AM A HUMAN BEING. #ItsOnlyArt #PastelNervousBreakdown #artschool #HangOnSpringBreakIsComing #artorgarbage

This example on the box of what's possible in the world of latex is really selling me on quitting art and becoming a super creep in a lab coat who spends all day making B movie props #supercreep #pumpkinhead #specialeffects #bmovie #artorgarbage #labcoatart

It's interesting how much this a West Oakland broken building looks like a huge version of a lazy grad sculpture. #artorgarbageOaklandEdition #ItsPolitical #DontMentionGentrification #gradart #LargeScaleSculpture
