Eastside Nocturne, 4 color risograph print on off-white cardstock, printed by Risolve. I challenged myself to make riso that had a sense of depth and atmosphere (if youve worked in riso you know how hard it is to get the values right!) Inspired by night walks in LA.

Available in my shop which has just reopened!

["... I am less interested in a mass exodus from Facebook and Twitter than I am in a mass movement of attention: what happens when people regain control over their attention and begin to direct it together, again. Occupying the "third space" within the attention economy is important not just because, as I've argued, individual attention forms the basis for collective attention and this for meaningful refusal of all kinds. It is also important because in a time of shrinking margins, when not only students but everyone else has "put the pedal to the metal", and cannot afford other kinds of refusal, attention may be the last resource we have left to withdraw. In a cycle where both financially driven platforms and overall precarity close down the space of attention-the very attention needed to resist onslaught, which then pushes further- it may be only in space of our own minds that some of us can begin to pull apart the links."]

one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it

“Don’t get me wrong: you can learn a lot on the internet. You can learn more than at any previous time in history. But ingesting information is only half of learning. The other half, the more important half, is responding to that information, thinking critically about it, about what it implies. Does it fit with your worldview? If not, why not? This is the part of learning that turns knowledge into wisdom, into action. This is the part of learning through which you create yourself, and it demands mental free time, time when you’re not consuming media of any kind, when you’re doing nothing at all. By greedily claiming every appointment on your mind’s timeline, the internet erases these vital hours from your life.”

stop hating fat people. especially yourself. “oh I don’t hate fat people” okay then why do you act like fatness is a moral failing? being fat is just your body’s response to various factors in your life. it is morally neutral. if you’re unhappy, deal with the root factors of the unhappiness, not the fatness. your body is doing the best it can to get you through whatever you have going on. be kind to it and stop hating it
