It's #PortfolioDay, which means I get to remind a few people that I'm an artist! A few years ago I withdrew from social media's expectations of omnipresence in order to focus on a dream project. That means no recent work as it's all secret BUT here are a few public pieces, per vibe:

1. Horror

I clearly remember these people being traumatized for years over being called "deplorable."

So if you think a caller may be AI, just ask a really nerdy question, laugh, and hang up.

I just took a call at work that was clearly an AI pretending to be our health insurance provider, complete with fake ambience sounds of other employees in the background and keyboards clacking. So naturally, I had to ask: "What is the meaning of the number 42?"

Personally I'm very much aware that when he's gone we're in for a whole new shit show (obviously these people have planned ahead) but it won't stop me from looking forward to it and celebrating when it happens. I don't think I'll live to see brighter days in the US, so I'll have that bottle. 🍾

When you put him next to the old version, modern Garfield looks like he's def about to eat someone's "lasagna" 😏

Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social · 1d

But what Garfield tastes better? Again I think the marbling on the older one gives it an obvious advantage

Little Eggie! A little mushroom painting I did yesterday because I could.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

I was gonna make this video yesterday but the Daily Show beat me to it (it was the second joke I abandoned yesterday for the same reason). Then I remembered I have fun doing these anyway and, as my bestie once told me: "Well, YOU haven't made yours."

Bartiromo attacks Mamdani for pointing out that tourists aren't traveling to the US as much because Trump is brutalizing people: "You just heard that. He wants illegals and internationalists to come here, particularly ahead of the World Cup."

This is a federal agent pointing a weapon at a person recording them.

ICE has become Trump’s personal military that he is using to terrorize communities and cities that don’t support him. And some say we shouldn’t call him a fascist? Open your eyes.
