While painting this one I realized suddenly the holes were shaped just like the vibrating parts on one of my vibrators (the lelu enigma) so I just went with it. From like fall last year

Very happy to announce that I have been awarded a 2024 United States Artist grant. Congrats to my fellow fellows! When applying, I realized many of my favorite artists have received this grant at pivotal points in their career and I am so honored to join them. You know how I’m always grumbling about that discontinued 3D video codec that doesn’t work on computers newer than 2015? This grant has already put me well on my way to unknotting this problem so I can resurrect the old time traveling flashlight and see how it feels about the year 2024. Yowza

Planet earth welcomes Homer Dektar Baga! Messenger from the land of the subconscious and destroyer of civilized time. Born late in the night of 8/12/23 at a whopping 9 lbs 3oz. He is way cuter and fatter than we were prepared for. So far his favorite songs are Elvis, WAP, the grieving soul, calling occupants, and the sound of Padma Lakshmi’s voice. Molly was and is incredible and is recovering well and I have a major crush on her. We thank the great Monkey in the sky for sending us such a perfect baby. Gushing leaking spurting pooping love all around ❤️❤️❤️. We love you Homer!!!

Get ready hos! First time my paintings will see the light of New York eyes, at a solo booth at Frieze with Societe. May 17 to May something at the Shed!
Somewhere there is a video of me at age 16 pretending to be monet for a school project— after slow motion falling through a hole in space, I’m in drag with a beret and beard, furiously painting some Florida mangroves, when the camera sneaks up on me and I scream “sacre bleu!!” I have a dream of making a trailer for this show by intercutting that footage with educational videos of how the Webb telescope works, but for now you can just imagine it 👨🎨

Hi we did it! We read that he’s old enough now to see a flashlight in the womb, so i used a mini projector on Mollys belly to show him some of my art. Oh also if you didn’t know yet, Molly is pregnant! Hurray! He kicked more than he ever has after watching daddy show him around the cave

Compilation of latest pottery slip drawings for the techs at Greenwich house. As always thank you ghp for inspiring all my best drawings. Gay virgin marys, chubby dragon, Garfield phone, and Darth Vader mug in that order.
