Hi, everyone! I hope you're having a nice fall weekend. 🍂
I just wanted to share some BEAUTIFUL art I was lucky enough to acquire recently from two incredible artists 🎨
The first is one of my favorite pieces that combines two of my passions, one from my childhood and one since 2019: Peanuts and Bo Burnham!
Bo as Charlie Brown/Schroeder is just perfect, and I can't rep @lomleyo enough. She is an EXCEPTIONAL artist and also created my SUCH logo that I adore 🥰
I was finally able to pick up the Peanuts print because I needed to get the perfect birthday card for my best friend @ilickedthegardenwall on her 30th birthday—and BOY did Kat deliver on that one!
All of these prints and more can be found on the artist's INPRNT shop. Check it out! 👀
The second is a recent discovery on Instagram that blew me away: A Vincent van Gogh-style representation of Inside, with so many hidden gems from White Woman's Instagram (like an embroidered fox and dreamcatcher, for starters). Just AMAZING attention to detail!
I am an ENORMOUS fan of Vincent van Gogh (Starry Night is my favorite painting), so this image spoke to me immediately, and I actually reached out to the artist (Jakobi Holck Luke) to see if he would add it to his Redbubble shop (IncredibleHolck), which he did thankfully.
Fun fact: Bo has been compared to the troubled painter by Pete Holmes ("It's exciting to see van Gogh walking in the Mall of America"), and the lyrics to Vincent by Don McLean really sound like Bo imo (especially the intro and this last section):
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Anyway, I'm just in love with my new art pieces, and I hope you all consider supporting these two artists in the future! ✌🏼🐔
in Pete Holmes' first stand-up album in 2011, he had bits about how young people were being racist in youtube comments and how Facebook made privacy "uncool", if only i could go back to tell him that both those situations would only get worse
Comedy Central recently posted the full video of Pete Holmes' 2013 special Nice Try, The Devil on YouTube.

If you haven't seen Pete's comedy before, he has a real "fun dad" energy to him, and his sets are apparently incredible in person (but it's difficult to capture that electricity on camera).
Either way, it's an entertaining hourlong special, and a little bird told me he's already taped his newest hour, so that should be out soon!
And if you haven't listened to/watched his amazingly informative podcast, You Made It Weird, definitely give it a shot. Pete gets guests to open up in ways they wouldn't otherwise (like his epic 3-episode journey with Bo Burnham).
Enjoy the special on YouTube, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔
