So, if we say 50 shades of silver, it doesn’t have to be a sex thing, right? https://www.instagram.com/p/COdGvzugjHD/?igshid=1x1j07w02unda

Either: A) bleached my tires like my hair B) I guess we had to paint something during quarantine C) wanted to give my car satin spats D) this project did not kill nearly enough time in lockdown https://www.instagram.com/p/CN9KGlAAIHv/?igshid=jcf05ggyirh6

Balcony vacations are a thing in quarantine, right? https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjGepogNLP/?igshid=171ooymdipj5y

This goddamn pandemic won’t end, so I got a chair worth growing old and dying in. Much love to @theportico_collection_la for making my idea for this custom Eames lounge chair come true and @blackswanned for the chair itself. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLf9gZ0AlLL/?igshid=11u114njxrxb

Dumb Haikus Vol. 1? I can only hope and pray that the abject daftness contained wherein gives you the break of reality you might need right now. Also, this makes me a self published poet, an occupation that is only acceptable during a global pandemic where everyone’s out of work. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAZk5hgYOp/?igshid=1xuqtw64jnedq
