A tiny titmouse on a white background captures the delicate details of the bird’s soft, fluffy feathers and inquisitive gaze. Its small, round body and alert posture convey a sense of energy and curiosity. The simplicity of the white background enhances the bird’s subtle colors, making it the focal point of the artwork.

This is a smug chubby doggo who is very pleased with himself. He simply can’t understand why humans aren’t as clever as he is. He watches cartoons, eats his food and sleeps about 23 hours a day while he plots peace in the middle east. When he gets the energy he is going to adjust gravity.

This is what the UGA school of visual arts used to look like. It was really far from the dorms and close to downtown Athens. I sometimes dream I’m back in school and lost on campus, riding busses to nowhere, tunneling under the school of art, wandering around downtown and on giant hillsides peering down into a massive white stadium with hundreds of thousands of people looking at me. This is an imaginary pop art sculpture I designed a long time ago.

I can’t believe we live in a world where people understand what infectious disease is and how it spreads and how catastrophically damaging it can be to the very foundations of human civilization but we let random sick people get on planes and spread deadly pandemics around the world in a matter of hours. We need to make some serious changes to how international travel and national borders and immigration all work. Shutting down the world economy after it has circled the globe 5 times is too little too late.
