Who’s the tiny bust of? Probably Domitian or some bullshit.
Blurry zoom on a tiny bust on Epstein’s desk. Looks Roman, possibly Domitian. He wasn’t the worst but very controlling and got unalived in the end and he certainly didn’t do it himself.

Here it is, had to track it down.
poorly photoshopped infographic where words randomly change font and size at random times. "Altogether his collection of 286 feet is worth more than $50 million, all housed in a custom refrigerator bigger than most people's homes Quentin Tarantino bought his first foot in 1977 at fourteen years old."

Ok I was hoping for one that looked like the Mystery Machine but this’ll do.

Having a copy center on the site of Benjamin Franklin's birth is pretty funny.
front facade of a white building with large windows and architectural flourishes. BIRTHPLACE OF FRANKLIN is across the top, referencing Founding Father Benjamin Franklin. There is a Sir Speedy copycenter at the ground level, which is funny because he made his bones in his brother's print shop.

Alpha dudes always looking like this
Total fucknut James Watson looking all toothy and bug-eyed while thinking he's inherently superior to all non-whites and women. He's got a labcoat on but from all accounts he sucked at science so really who does he think he's fooling.

Best I can do on short notice is a SMASHed toilet.
Sepiatone photo of a smashed toilet surrounded by various debris. There's a signature of RIXI in the corner which is a weird flex but ok.

I'm researching vintage canned fruit ads to give context to a throwaway line for my space western and I'll say this for the 1920s, their text was occasionally anything but sub.
Vintage ad for canned fruit called My Lady Fruit Salad. Slogan reads: "My Lady" Fruits for Particular People. Pretty white lady with long blonde curls stands before a pile of fruit, basket over her arm, other hand holding a peach she contemplates.

Please please please check your candy! I don't have children of my own but I bit into a piece and found a complete copy of Hary Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music.

And yes I decided to stage a photo with three complete pieces for scale.
A stack of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. One has a bite taken out of it, revealing the partial label of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music.

Love a good old movie poster that reveals nothing of the plot.
Movie poster for the film Mutiny on the Bounty. Picture is a smiling man in the water with an arm hanging off a boat, a smiling woman with him. Super imposed is those same people, him smiling with her in his arms, she wearing a red kimono. Text reads: MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY STARRING Charles LAughton Clark Gable with Franchot Tone Herbert Mundin Eddie Quillan Donald Crisp A Frank Lloyd Production Directed by Frank Flloyd Associate Producer: Albert Lewin A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture Spoilers on a 90 year old movie based on a 230 year old incident: this is not the rom com romp they make it look like and that lady can't possibly be a main character if she's not even listed above Donald "who the fuck am I" Crisp. Just absolute dogshit advertising. I want my dime back.

Ok while normally I art through writing I also take pictures of toilets and got a smashed one once and one thing led to another.
Smashed toilet on a red curb flowing away like blood. A shadow with a beckoning arm is on the wall behind it, appearing to rise out of the toilet like smoke. On the wall in jagged letters is "LOOK ON MY WORKS YE MIGHT AND DESPAIR!"

Nothing like some eleventh hour research into the history of KitchenAid stand mixers to tweak a throwaway joke on a $2 Q&A zine about taking pictures of toilets amirite?

See that and more this Saturday and Sunday at Phoenix Zine Fest! Lots of great artists to be seen, I will be there Sunday only.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness
A still from Star Trek Lower Decks. D'Vana Tendi looks up admiringly at Samanthan Rutherford who is sitting in his bunk looking at a PADD. Tendi is holding boots but before you ask no they they are probably not Rutherford's as he can be seen wearing a pair. Tendi's feet are not visible so they might be hers. The world is full of impossible mysteries is what I'm getting at.

I'm going to be at the Phoenix Zine Fest! Come out and say hello and buy some things why not. Lots of great artists, but I am only tabling Sunday.

Location is Rocket Space Gallery in Tempe, and it's free to attend. Masks required.
A flyer for the Phoenix Zine Fest event. It features a person waving in a friendly manner with a cowboy hat while riding horse which is itself riding a rocket. Only the horse has a space helmet. Bottom text reads: PZF IS A MAKED EVENT | OCTOBER 25 + 26 ROCKET SPACE GALLERY | TEMPE, AZ

Hands Off! Phoenix.

I was unable to get proper photos conveying the crowd size.
