TIMELINE

drawing timeline, final


TOOLS

MICROSOFT PAINT (MSPAINT)
Favored for its convenience/speed/user-friendliness. Has been 'abandoned' due to its lower resolution, unavailability on Macs, smaller variety of tools/features/fonts (such as layers/Helvetica).

SHAVED/SUNBURNT BABY CAMEL (2007)
shaved camel baby


PEN/MARKER
Used often for 'pieces' that do not require large areas of solid color, when 'personalizing' books for people at readings, 'pieces' to sell on eBay.

TOY POODLE (2007)

toy poodle, dignified? or severely detached?


CONSTRUCTION PAPER
Useful for 'pieces' requiring large areas of solid color, especially ones with multiple layers of different colors. Creates a mild 3D effect, even when scanned. Seems easy/satisfying. I like doing this calmly in my room while listening to music.

[the title of this 'piece' is too long to fit here, flickr has a word count restriction for this area, it seems]

(MILD 3D EFFECT)

PHOTOSHOP
Preferred non-'IRL' method. Drawback: 'fill-all' tool not as easy-to-use as MSPaint's.

CRYING-IN-BED SASQUATCH (2008)

crying-in-bed sasquatch

FLICKR
Useful for organizing 'pieces,' can order prints from them at what seems like a low cost. Has built-in 'Statcounter.'

WHAT MY ART STRIVES FOR, GENERALLY

1. Sympathetic or neutral presentation of the subject. For example if I drew Hitler or George W. Bush or other people that most people conventionally dislike I would not present them negatively.

2. To not be a parody of something else.

3. To be directly focused on the emotional state of the subject.

AGE/WEIGHT

Because it's generally accepted that eye/mouth-size don't vary much with age, a large face can indicate a young age. A smaller face can indicate adult-hoot. A very small face can indicate obesity.

shopenhauer_final_1_1340

Schopenhauer watching 'Walrus sucks own dick' on YouTube while absently petting his 2,000,000mg Xanax (specially ordered from Thailand) at 3:34 PM on a Tuesday in April after being put 'on hold' for the second time in ~40 seconds as he tries to reach the one person he knows at Harper's, an editorial assistant who "really liked" The World As Will And Representation, to see if there's any chance they want to send him anywhere—to write about anything—as his toy poodle, 'ever aware' that it's 'very similar' in size/weight/color as the 2,000,000mg Xanax, suppresses uncontrollable crying successfully, to a large degree, owing to having licked the 2,000,000mg Xanax a few times, ~30 minutes ago, when Schopenhauer was at the doorway gripping the doorknob tightly while staring across the street thinking [what seemed to be 'nothing'] after receiving his 3rd form-rejection in 14 months from Electric Literature.



mdma550

A Tyrannosaurus Rex falling into a 1000+ foot gorge after accidentally sprinting off a cliff at a record-breaking speed* while euphorically propelling itself in various directions, screaming in joy and sometimes leaping across arbitrary expanses, for more than 20 minutes, during which it became increasingly then fully unaware of its surroundings, except the occasional "blurry area of grass" or "briefly enlarging tree," now experiencing its "falling sensation" as a nearly imperceptible "tingliness" that within a few seconds—and until its death—it will believe to indicate [Tyrannosaurus Rex equivalent of "I have the ability to fly and am currently flying on my own volition"].

*52 miles-per-hour, despite having its head, in an idiosyncratic side-effect of "peaking" on an extremely large dose of MDMA, turned almost completely in the opposite direction

Whitney Museum of American Art

A 32-year-old "aspiring artist" (currently supporting himself by walking dogs for a company specializing in toy poodles) in the Whitney Museum of American Art on April 21, 2019 staring at [area of wall between "Extreme close-up of a 30mg Adderall" and "Extreme close-up of a 30mg Oxycodone"] thinking variations of "I fucking hate you..." and "I fucking hate my life..." while catatonically aware, with increasing fear and a sensation of imminent fearlessness, that he is 15+ rooms "deep" into a 26-room Tao Lin retrospective and that it may not be possible for him to "get outside" before "completely losing control," even if he picks up both toy poodles and runs toward the exit, because between his current position and the exit there will be hundreds of framed Tao Lin pieces (or "pieces," as Lin calls them) in every direction and the peripheral sight of any of them will likely "set [this man] off" on a mechanical rampage of repeatedly headbutting and kneeing and punching holes in pieces while shouting nonsequiturly xenophobic content in an exponentially worse repeat of the horrible embarrassment of two weeks ago, at this retrospective's opening, when six videos,* all of which immediately "went viral," were recorded of him standing alone in front of "Harry Potter..." loudly muttering negative commentary for more than three minutes (while surrounded by a semi-circle of people that seemed mostly to be grinning in a kind of approval despite the shocking language of the intense mutterings) before realizing what he was doing and then walking quickly away in an arbitrary direction, into an elderly woman, then into another person, feeling increasingly dizzy and confused and ashamed and genuinely apologetic as he bumped into dozens more people in the resulting seven-minute-struggle to navigate himself through an exit that he later learned was less than 30-feet from his original position.

*the longest video was 18 minutes 24 seconds and ended with the man descending into a subway station at 68th Street



green ass koalas

An adolescent koala, seated on a trampoline, cries for an unknown reason, clutching 2mg Xanax and a full-grown hamster, adjacent Krispy Kreme donuts. Looking closely, at the background, a second koala, who appears to have "wet eyes" at the same time that it's smiling, can be seen, behind a tree, in the top-right corner. This second koala (possibly an uncle or, most likely, a friend of the family) seems to have elevated itself for "spying" purposes, though one wonders what, of relevance, it can see, from that angle (behind everything), so maybe not.



mdma500

"Large dose of MDMA" Halloween-costume, hand-crafted in China, with pulsating first-tier koala. Visually conveys one's experience of reality after ingesting a medium-to-large dose of MDMA on a low tolerance. Prices range from 1800元 to 9400元 depending on size (adolescent, medium, large) and added features (glow-in-the-dark, organic, waterproofing, bulletproofing, etc.). Add 2000元 for international shipping. PayPal is accepted.



dumbledore_550

Dumbledore skillfully demonstrating—to no one, alone in his room, suffering from insomnia—the extremely difficult, polycognitive, 2-wand/3-function technique for “small-object levitation” that he developed over 40 years ago and has since honed to virtuosic levels, privately and with immense shame, as the technique’s only known purpose is for [what he’s doing now], which occurs with such consistently surprising frequency that Dumbledore “can’t help but feel amused” whenever it happens again, despite his embarrassment and earnest disapproval of its seemingly unending recurrence (though usually he realizes “it has happened again” only after he’s ingested an amount of pills and is chemically inclined to feel amused about it): levitating pills [toward him], [away from him], [in place] for as long as 50 minutes while struggling in a neurotic and despairing manner to “calculate” the optimal combination of pills he should ingest to guarantee a satisfactory night’s sleep, maintain a relatively low tolerance for at least one class of drug, and appear functional to others the next day—an especially difficult decision tonight because Dumbledore is additionally trying to “factor in” that he keeps feeling like he “has to” pee (has gone to the bathroom six times in the past hour, each time “trickling” zero to five drops into the toilet) and that, in a horribly devastating* error, he ingested one of the three** Adderall that he initially levitated [toward him] thinking they were “orange Valium,” a nonexistent “hybrid pill” that he daydreamed about a few days ago while staring with 80% unfocused eyes at someone’s ear at a Quidditch match.

*Dumbledore has a low Adderall tolerance and likely won’t sleep at all tonight even if he ingests everything currently levitated that isn’t Adderall

**Dumbledore is currently levitating the remaining two Adderall [away from him] with an incredibly applied quality of controlled acceleration (the Adderall will decelerate beautifully, one can tell, as they near the dresser) that is truly virtuosic, having channeled most of his anger/frustration not into “curse words” or “hitting things,” like many of his peers, he feels, but “wand control”—something he learned to do as a small child and has always felt to be the principle factor in his success in life, not “talent” or “chance” or even “hard work”



Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage (as viewed from a "Che Guevara angle") 4.7 seconds after being told "sorry, we're actually all out of walnuts" while on a medium-large dose of psilocybin mushrooms, unable to believe that this specific ice cream truck would "just happen" to be "completely out of walnuts" at this precise moment that he wanted walnuts, thinking this coincidence to be "hilarious" and barely stifling uncontrollable laughter, struggling to begin to formulate a verbal response to the increasingly "visibly impatient" ice cream man (who only vaguely recognizes Nicolas Cage, thinking it's an annoying acquaintance from college or someone who works at Whole Foods and probably crudely packaged a dozen mussels for him 4 years ago).

Werner Herzog ~20 seconds after responding to Chloe Sevigny's "what's this?" about the painting on the wall by staring at it with a nonhumorous sensation of utter unrecognition (not remembering, due to the 2mg/day Xanax his doctor prescribed him two weeks ago, upping it to 3mg after one week, which Werner misremembered as 6mg after two
days, that he created it 4 days ago as a prepared contribution to a possible Where's Waldo edition comprised only of drawings by famous people and framed and hung on a wall blocking a door leading to 30% of his house) for an unknown amount of time before finally remembering only that an unknown amount of time (days? months?) earlier he had,
then also not knowing what it was or where it came from, told a BBC reporter that his wife created it "as a sort of reminder note" for him to turn off the hallway light before getting into bed each night and quietly saying "I have to go to the bathroom" and walking calmly to where he now stands in a state of "stoic anxiety" considering if he could say "let's go look at the kitchen, shall we?" in a certain tone that would cause Chloe Sevigny, [someone he doesn't recognize at all], and—troublingly—the male protagonist of Antichrist (all three of whom arrived a few minutes ago saying something about being invited to a "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done reunion get-together" and laughing when Werner said "I don't even know what My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done is...how could I have invited people to a get-together for it?")
to follow him into the kitchen where he could divert their attention from the painting by showing them what's in his refrigerator: "________," Herzog thinks and feels confused why he's standing in a hallway staring at a wall thinking about food.

as he doesn't want to lie about it again, aware that Chloe Sevigny might Tweet about it and that his wife, though without a Twitter account herself, "reads Chloe Sevigny's tweets," Herzog thinks now and feels confused about why he is standing in a hallway staring at a wall thinking "Chloe Sevigny's tweets."

(which Werner )

that currently the only thing he can remember about is that , but this time not wanting to lie, as he is

Werner Herzog saying "oh, that was my contribution to a guest-edited edition of Where's Waldo, but, you see, they rejected it, as you can probably see why" about a painting on his wall he knows nothing about, but seemed to come into his awareness at some point, lying to Chloe Sevigny and about a painting on his wall he remembers nothing about due to being on Xanax for two weeks.

basement room in werner herzog's house whose door is blocked by a grand piano that werner herzog has completely forgotten due to it being created during the month his doctor prescribed him 2mg of xanax a day, upping it to 4mg after 2 weeks during which herzog said he liked it, but it wasn't working anymore
