@VinceMancini one time he tried to pick me up from elementary school in his shitty 70's era Buick LeSabre (a.k.a. The Sled) by revving the engine and hollering expletives out the window

the kids were so terrified, they asked a teacher to make sure I wasn't getting kidnapped @VinceMancini on my last day of 4th grade, before my folks got home from work, he played me a cassette of Alice Cooper’s “School's Out” on my boombox and then we shot a potato out of a homemade pvc pipe cannon fueled by Krylon fumes

My uncle passed away 10 days ago and I've been an inconsolable mess ever since. He was 65 and somehow managed to wring out 9 lives while burning the candle, and whatever else was handy, from every angle.

He meant so much to me and I honestly don’t know what I’d be without him. His name was Randall Jacobs (his friends called him RJ) but to me he was my Uncle Bunky, a.k.a. The Bunkster!

For the past 3 years I've been working on this big paper collage (6 x 6 feet, all torn/cut by hand).

It’s essentially a portrait of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States.

This thread is about some of the ideas, sources, and references that inform it. After Trump won the election, I started reading all these articles from experts on authoritarianism. They advised keeping a list of things that are subtly changing around you, so you’ll remember it all.

That’s one way to think about what this work is.
