I have had a lot of good life here.

Last night in #Boston.

.ART just ran an interview with me this morning. Topics include comics poetry, art theory versus practice, individualist anarchism, and censorship. Enjoy. #art https://art.art/blog/no-rules-outside-of-individuals-interview-with-american-art-critic-and-artist-franklin-einspruch

Hey, peeps. It's been a while.

"Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road." - Voltaire

And here I was just plugging this

The growler was the best part of the song, no question.

thank you for this

Thank you Bevan!

I'm in the Boston Globe with my Vienna comics poetry project. https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/books/2019/06/27/poetic-comics-arresting-debut-and-lines-from-local-lawmaker/kgm0JjJRRUm5N3JzlxP47I/story.html

"Art has for a long time not only acknowledged the ugly, but considered the ugly as necessary to existence, and takes it up into itself; it needs the villain." - Max Stirner

I did a deep dive on SVG for the project, with the intention of making the images look good whether on mobile or a billboard. File sizes are tiny too. I love SVG :)

Greetings and salutations, my peeps. This is my comics poetry project from Vienna. Let me know what you think. https://regardingth.at/

I reviewed Oskar Kokoschka at the Leopold Museum in Vienna for The New Criterion. #art #wien https://newcriterion.com/blogs/dispatch/ever-his-own-man

Danke!

Will do - thank you for the enso!

Blood oranges. I remember when they came into season during my year in Rome. Sweet, tangy memories.

As promised, peeping from #Vienna. https://www.mqw.at/institutionen/q21/artists-in-residence/2019/franklin-einspruch/

"Do not tire yourself with toiling at the limits of others; enough if you tear down yours." - Max Stirner

My aforementioned book of comics poetry got reviewed at the Boston Globe. https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/books/2019/01/10/comics-poem-collection-essays-wrestle-with-racism-misogyny-and-alienation/TT1Cy3xQ9oghPlsbpTHzmJ/story.html

"I'm now making myself as scummy as I can. Why? I want to be a poet, and I'm working at turning myself into a seer." - Rimbaud

Just burned my account at the birdsite. #peepethFTW

Thank you! Yeah, it's pretty niche. Good place to start as any: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics_poetry

Happy Saturday, peeps! My recent book of comics poetry just got a writeup at Wonderland, a local independent journalism project. https://gregcookland.com/wonderland/2018/12/21/einspruch/

I want to log into peepeth with Brave, upon which I have just installed MetaMask. I should import my existing DEN, not encrypt a new DEN, right?

Thank you for the Ensō, @abcoathup and @CryptoJoe!

Last watercolor from August. Good to have these around for when it starts getting dark at 4pm http://www.franklin.art/art/2018-08-15-aquinnah-august-15/

If your mind becomes firm like a rock
and no longer shakes
In a world where everything is shaking
Your mind will be your greatest friend
and suffering will not come your way.

- The Therigatha

And I'm very glad that you've found a way to do so. This is a great project of yours - may it thrive and triumph.

thank you @hannah 🙏

Thank you. I'm a big fan of your work, Emperor

thank you for the enso @dtl 🙏

Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone. Watercolor from this past July, thankful to be able to do what I do and to be supported for it. http://www.franklin.art/art/2018-08-14-aquinnah-august-14-2/

Again the wind
flakes gold-leaf from the trees
and the painting darkens—
as if a thousand penitents
kissed an icon
till it thinned
back to bare wood,
without diminishment.

(Jane Hirshfield, "Autumn")

Thank you for the Ensō @svvr!

Watercolor three of five from Aquinnah last month. http://www.franklin.art/art/2018-08-14-aquinnah-august-14-1/

To what shall I compare this life of ours?
Even before I can say
it is like a lightning flash or a dewdrop
it is no more.

- Sengai
