It’s vacation time for me! ✨Real talk though: I’m not someone who finds travel to be relaxing. It’s actually really stressful for me - packing, handling the logistics, being in a country where I barely speak the language, feeling overstimulated, etc etc. But for me it’s not about relaxation, but about adventure. I love discovering new places, especially natural landscapes that I barely see in my own country. It’s always a huge source of inspiration to my art. Here’s a collection of drawings I’ve made that were directly inspired by places I’ve visited on previous trips!
Freakish little beast
“Mutually Assured Destruction” by Sherman Alexie
When I was nine, my father sliced his knee With a chainsaw. But he let himself bleed And finished cutting down one more tree Before his boss drove him to EMERGENCY. Late that night, stoned on morphine and beer, My father needed my help to steer His pickup into the woods. “Watch for deer,” My father said. “Those things just appear Like magic.” It was an Indian summer And we drove through warm rain and thunder, Until we found that chainsaw, lying under The fallen pine. Then I watched, with wonder, As my father, shotgun-rich and impulse-poor, Blasted that chainsaw dead. “What was that for?” I asked. “Son,” my father said. “Here’s the score. Once a thing tastes blood, it will come for more.”
cannot stop thinking about this tweet… AUGH 😭
Hi there 👋,
My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔
I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

Dracula scrambling around the castle pretending to be his own servants is so important in showing that aside from being a super powerful evil vampire-sorcerer he is also a huge loser
bread & puppet’s cheap art manifesto is essentially just the summary, the point, the idea of the dreamer trilogy.
art is inside of the world. art is green trees. art wakes up sleepers.
