Samax Amen Pins and Buttons

Description: Cubist painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) remains very quotable. This is my favorite Picasso quote.

Description: If this drawing seems familiar to you, it's because it started out as a pencil sketch in my Big Black Sketchbook way back in 2018. I have been wanting to ink and color it ever since and I finally got around to it in 2023.

Description: There is nothing more powerful than a human being with a made up mind.

Description: It remains the second happiest day of my life. Father's Day 2011. A family trip to the all-you-can-eat buffet. Married to my college sweetheart. sitting next to my perfect little bundle of joy. Spending day off from my great job with the two people I love the most, who also love me. I was living the dream.

Description: People worry about looking cool and stylish a lot. I just focus on being happy. Being happy never goes out of style.

Description: The impending torpedoing of abortion rights inspired protests of all kinds, and as usual, the criticism of protest is never far behind. The Reverend Dr. Jacqui Lewis dropped this jewel on Twitter that spoke loudly to me.

Description: Back when Covid had the streets in a choke hold, I made a series of images trying to motivate my countrymen to be less filthy or whatever.  For whatever reason, y'all found WASH YOUR HANDS PLEASE, a piece I made from a doodle in my Big Black Sketchbook, really polarizing. It had people clamoring for a blank version, but I never got around to it. So last week the piece came up in my memories (can't remember if it was Facebook or Google) but I decided to fix that.  So here's the blank version y'all asked for.  Maybe he don't even care if you nasty.
