These are photoshops I made in response to something someone said, online or in a group chat, or maybe I'm just following an idea or sketching something out. Nothing intended to be anything other than part of a conversation, or I'm trying to make my buddy laugh, or I'm trying to make myself laugh. I find these little artifacts fascinating, crystals of a minor punchline, scattered along a trail where a small group of people had a far-out conversation. So I scoured the screengrabs folder for them. Here's a few I missed when I did Part One of this post. Despite the title, I am not strong enough, in the present moment, to resist adding some backstory. Please forgive me.
"POPEYE SAYS NO FACIST USA" sticker. Good idea but Popeye's silhouette is officially NOT ICONIC.
Jaybird had a twitter for a sec and it was a real blessing, I loved it. I'm not on that platform anymore, I bounced when it sold to that dipshit. Gotta trot this one out each and every Feb though, it's tradition.
Airbrushed Brancusi. OK, I know I said "no explication" but this is in re:
Noise Nomads fan art. Kinda did too good a job on this one, which is strictly for the heads anyway. Shoutout to the NN "Police Door" era.
New York Artbook Fair
I forget if this was Mandy being like "Davey looks like Russell Crowe" or "Davey keeps drawing preposterous connections between things". Anyway here's Russell Crowe with an Elektron Octatrack.
Song for when you're crazy without a catalyst. It happens!!!
I found one more Sonic The Hedgehog × absinthe painting mockup, which wasn't in the original post due to a typographical error. Again, If anyone wants to try and achieve even 10% of this vibe please call me!!!!!

- Even though I use "photoshop" as a noun to mean "the product of a photoediting program", I'm not using Adobe Photoshop. I've been a Linux head for over a decade now, so I use some open source thing, which works fine. If you're interested in making the switch, I recommend getting a $200 Thinkpad and installing Ubuntu on it, or just use whatever old computer you have laying around. Pretend that setting it up is a hobby or a game until you realize you're never going back to being an Apple Microsoft paypig. Please be aware that there's some aspects of Linux that are annoying, making it similar in that aspect to literally anything you could possibly think of.

I'm working on something fun with this, with like, cool little icons. but for now all this does is allow you to sign your name in a way that identifies you as the writer, so no one can spoof you. And it turns your name gold. :)
