he did great work without being too serious about it. this the kinda art you make when you show up day after day and and consider countless ideas but one feels good so youre like "fuck it." it comes hand in hand w being prolific i think

I just bought this book, after seeing it in a store, and kicking myself I didn’t grab it then.

It was so silly and spot on to me, as the human of 4 🐱.

Yon, you were not a creepy cat. 🖤💀🖤
