For my fellow generation Z peeps.

Sir after calculating my score with your percentages present in the syllabus I came up with a percentage of 61.75%
Sunday, April 29th, 2012Check out how good this tee-shirt came out.
It was done by Martin (with a little creative input from Banksy, who fully supports the appropriation), one of nine SF high schoolers in a screen print class I’ve been teaching at the nonprofit arts center Root Division this spring.
It can be hard at first to convince high schoolers that screenprinting in the age of mechanical reproduction is almost by definition not about technical perfection. But then we get to magic moments like this that make more sense than me talking. The shirt not only looks great but it maintains the trace of its maker: way cooler than a shirt bought at a store. Creative high schoolers understand that.
You might want to point out that people have to check the backwards compatibility.
Friday, August 19th, 2011Hi. I have returned from a long satisfying voyage, visiting friends and family in Israel, Berlin, France, Slovenia, and Scotland. I have a lot of work to do on feather2pixels, but for now here are some pictures waiting for your tender mousecliks.

Feels, and smells, like the inside of a gingerbread house.
Friday, February 25th, 2011I guess this might be the last of the February Light, since forecasts are calling for the first SF snow in twenty years.
Cherry Blossom Corpses--they were fleeting this year
The mighty Pacific as a storm clears.
My personal favorite. I tip my hat to the person who wheatpasted this to a wall.
I keep looking back at him and being like “you fuck.”

Retain this statement of your earnings and deductions from UC Berkeley.
Saturday, August 9th, 2008I was laughing at this afternoon classic in car-defacement, sighted on Bartlett Street.
Then I realized that’s my car.
OK so for a moment, the idea of leaving it and driving around as-is seemed like a found art stunt for the ages. Plus, that way the terrorists don’t win. But then I thought about me pulling up to the faculty parking lot at my professor job like this. Makes it a thousand times funnier, but I don’t see myself pulling that one off.
So I am humbled. This is clearly the work of a master–From a purely prank based perspective, one probably couldn’t be more advanced in the craft. Brilliant word selection and execution flawless in its rudeness and legibility. Finally some conceptual art I can get behind.
Come for the speech, stay for the disinfectant.
Saturday, March 1st, 2008America’s election fever is so hot that even the Maritime Academy’s come down with a temperature. Cadet political action reached a one year high during student election week. A recent stroll across the major bulletin boards of campus revealed campaigns in the throes of various degrees of apathy.
Taking advantage of the carriage return feature of Microsoft Word, this candidate invoked the might of Nordic mythology. Although the office sought is perhaps a bit unclear, the candidate’s platform on flaming hammers is not.
Rejecting the slippery slope of university-printed campaign materials, this political poster explores the possibilities of an underused format. And with limited space to make a memorable impact, what could speak more to the people than a thoughtfully worded Post-it?
