Building the machine ••• throwback to Thailand earlier this year #cyborgmanifesto #process

After I released "Miyazaki Bad Girl's Club" many of you asked where Kiki and Nausicaa were... well here you are! I have to admit I've had trouble finding ways to express myself politically these days in my personal work, and these Miyazaki art shows have presented a much-welcomed format for me to do so. It actually feels really right that these characters - whose subtexts always consist of kindness, feminism and environmental stewardship- could stand as representatives of super-current issues as well. It occurred to me while drawing today that Kiki would likely be one of the hard-working immigrants protected under DACA. Anyway, #WIP on this one for @spoke-art XX

A Conversation in 3D 😎🦋🐟🔥💀 1/2 of a new piece at Beme HQ in Manhattan! • • Big thanks @jakerawr X @caseyneistat X all involved 🖤

I can't sleep for some reason.. so here's a shot of my piece at the @worldtradecenter 4 with some lovely lighting and the gratuitously gorgeous sunset that cast it. Nice to see it after a year away. Thanks to those who have come up to share it with me. 🖤 (at New York, New York)

8.18.17 Anchorage, Alaska. This is a helicopter hangar on Merrill Airfield (anchorage's first airport) that faces onto the runway. Just a few days and not many colors to choose from but the location couldn't be any more serendipitous. Planes were taking off and landing next to us all day. Turns out, this airfield is where my dad used to keep his plane. The eagle was a symbol we all associated with him. Anyway- this one's for my mom, the strongest person I know. I love you 🛫 (at Anchorage, Alaska)

Hello hello:) miss @lizard__milk and I will be traveling through Iceland next month and are looking for walls to paint, things to see, fun to have. Shoot me a DM if you have any info! Many thanks :) 🖤

"Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away." -Frida Kahlo. . I wanted to paint "La Catrina" (a skull-faced woman representative of human impermanence despite class) but was moved instead to combine Catrina elements with features inspired by Frida Kahlo, whose 150th birthday coincided unintentionally with my last day of painting in San Miguel de Allende. (at Guanajuato, Mexico)
