The process of making these is:
Collect comics and beer labels, put the beer label on a piece of paper. (Peel it off while can is full)
Find comics and beer labels with similar themes or colors. This takes a while and involves comic book shopping.
Cut out comics into fun shapes.
To put it together I drink a ton of beer with my wife and sister listen to classic rock and do blow. It makes it a fun process and seems to dial in the art itself. Outlaw country!!!
The future has disappeared. In some ways we are trapped within the twentieth century still.” To be in the 21st century, he explains, is to have 20th century culture brought to us by 21st century technology.

single file down to a riverside boat launch. haze hangs heavy on mind & surface alike. a trail wanders off, i meander, in search of a spot to rest this head, always buzzing, for a moment until the barrage resumes. no cover except the trees i find promise in. no questions to beg, no retort to save face. only leafy shade, under which, their searchlights cannot find me.

Dexter’s Laboratory | Dee Dee and the Man
the hawthorn-white rose of understood melancholic faith,
primitively exuding the lactational scarlet liquid of death:
markings etched upon rhinestones as symbolic offering,
misaligned & mismanaged, the depth of human psyche,
shortcomings of tortuously soulful repetitions of envy,
copper rewiring embedded within crystalline calamity,
marble woven fabric draped over the faces of angels;
for healing is found within the harsh reality of nature.
I’m making collages, sharing pictures of mushrooms and nature I take. Beers/comics❤️.https://substack.com/@ryanplaffertyI’ll add some Gonzo style google reviews
