Seeing what the future looks like thru Syd’s art makes our current situation even more disappointing. His imagined worlds would be so epic. See it person, if you ever get the chance.

If there were a gun to my head pointed by an assailant who demanded that I describe the feeling of living in the USA using only pictures (hey, this is my unreal conditional—worry about your own), I’d simply point them in the direction of Michael St. John’s “Portraits of Democracy,” which are currently on view as “These Days” at Pio Pico gallery in LA (now extended thru Jan. 1). St. John is probably your favorite artist’s favorite artist: a lifelong student of the aesthetic form who cares more about the Big Issues than making big paintings just because that’s what someone said collectors want. He’s also a preternaturally gifted painter (by practice, no less!) whose every choice involves the deliberate reproduction of the very tension that makes life in 2020 one nonstop “Party in the U.S.A.” if you know what I mean. If you’re gonna look at art, why bother with anything you couldn’t spend your whole afternoon uncovering the intricacies of, anyway? Viewings are by appointment only, but don’t let that intimidate you—it’s literally a phone call, prolly even a DM away.

The desk I work from and make all my music at is technically our dining room, and is 3 feet from the couch and 6 feet from the kitchen, but we’re fortunate to have amazing views like this.
It smelled amazing at this moment too, so we took the dog for a walk.

As someone on the spectrum, I ask that you learn about autism and its effects on a person living with it. And I don’t mean reading about it on Wikipedia, I mean reading about people’s lived experience.
“If you meet someone with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.“
At the very least, know that not everyone is “a little bit autistic” and every autistic person’s experience is unique. So you’ll never really understand it completely, but you could learn to support someone in your life who has it.

Not all playground art needs to be representational murals in primary colors. Check out how inspiring this handball court near my apartment in Brooklyn is.
