Despite promises to the Met collection, on his orders, demolition workers cut up the deco grillwork w/torches,” wrote Harry Hurt III, The Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump. Crews “jackhammered the friezes” which shattered as they fell.

The Bonwit Teller Building: How Donald Trump Destroyed an Art Deco Treasure

Donald Trump may occupy the White House, but after a weekend of supporting neo-Nazis and white supremacists, he returned to his real seat of power – Trump Tower. Here in his self-made citadel…

Don’t they need to talk to landmarks first? At least get the proper permits, sheesh…

Aww. I was late to the game finding out Ace Freeley of KISS just died at 74. Spinning Kiss Alive and jumping up and down on the bed with my sister, pumped up on his juicy riffs.
Sleep well, Starman.

New series. Another original camo pattern I designed to be digitally cut, stitched, quilted & seamed. It’s a wall hanging presentation, possibly w/grommets in the corners and industrial hardware. The contrast between cast metal & embroidered satin creates tension. #camoart #contemporaryart #textile

Happy birthday to the late Nico, late of the Velvet Underground. Whose solo work with the theramin carved a space for a weird, artistic chanteuse expanding sonic landscapes.

A camo I designed during the nor’easter. A narrative is essential. I wanted to have something more akin to the simplicity and detail of a Japanese woodcut instead of dead leaves on a dirty background ...

Surely the new packaging has been focus grouped ad nauseum. The result is bursting with Modern Farmhouse signifiers.

The critic Greil Marcus said something to the effect in his book Lipstick Traces, that Punk rock was the last Modernist movement.

The shocking Punk aesthetic sent reverberations on a wide range of designs, music, and cultural flashpoints. #49yot

Last night also, my son snagged 2 tickets to the first night of John Leguziamo’s The Other Americans at the Public Theater. It’s the universality of the story seen through the Latin lens that makes it powerful and poignant.

I lived in Doha 2010-13. There was no Qatari Army and it’s highly improbable that any Qatari National would serve, if you understand the culture. So who is going to be training in Idaho?

#Objectober 4: Toy! Look it's not weird to draw toys in the context of grave imagery it's fine actually and not sad or creepy.

Pencil drawing of a small shine shaped like a house with a face, horns and little legs. three sheves in the house hold three dolls, with garlands, sweets, little pictures and toy animals arranged around them. there are also drawings of the three dolls shwing more detail - one is a cloth doll with yarn hair and a dress of frilly faric, one is a little tooth-shaped guy, and one is a painted wooden spoon with a handkercheif robe.
7. No human remains have ever been found in any excavation of the 5th Civilisation of the Thorny
Canyon. The reasons for this are unclear, though some writings suggest that this is because almost all
citizens died outside the canyone, en route to a fabled “Land of Eternal Breath.” Shrines have been
found, however, indicating a form of ancestor worship. Shrine demons in the shape of houses contain
shelves or nooks in which dolls painted with the likeness of deceased people are housed. There is
evidence that children were encouraged to play with and decorate the dolls, to maintain a connection
with passed love ones.
Look at hair of the doll. It is made of soft yarn, and someone has braided it. What do your fingers say when
they braid someone’s hair?

pencil drawing of a stone fountain in the shape of a dun-shaped face with eroded, haunted expression, dribbling water into a stone pool with several toy boats and a toy duck floating within.
8. A fountain from the Great Ossuary of Solaster. Fountains such as these were used to cleanse the
body before and after entering the main chambers of the Ossuary, in order to wash away any ill
influence, either from the outside world, or from the dead within. The many chambers of the Ossuary
each had their own fountain, so a mourner or attendant visiting the deeper bone-sanctums would
wash many times on their way in and out. Many visitors found it shocking that so many children
lived and played within the Ossuary, but this was commonplace, especially as the Great Gnawing
saw many orphans left under the care of religious institutions such as this.
Look at the boat bobbing in the water. Do you think it would sink if someone tried to wash their hands
under the fountain? What if they were very careful?
