Alonzo is like Rihanna before Umbrella, like James Blake before Limit to your Love, like Charli XCX before I Love It Alonzo is the artist project of Brooklyn polymath Robbie Lyman

a photo of my lap, where i have two Blackwing pencils and a sharpener balanced in my palm.
a photo of Robbie side by side with an image of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. Robbie’s outfit and pose are chosen to closely match Ayanokoji’s; he is wearing a school uniform with a burgundy blazer, green slacks, dress shoes, with a lightly disheveled white shirt and black tie. He is standing, looking down towards the camera with one hand in his pocket and the other behind his head, elbow angled skyward.
A photo of Zoe Keating on stage. She is holding a mic stand, about to tell the audience something between pieces. She is seated on a piano bench, wearing what she described as her "Soft Apocalypse" jacket and capri-length pants, 7-league heels and stripey tights. She is holding a cello. In front of the cello is a condenser mic on a low stand. Just out of frame is a laptop. By her right foot but obscured by the angle of the camera is a pedal controller.
a hand-drawn bird drawn in a sketchy style on a notebook in ballpoint pen (vaguely pigeon-like) with too much text: "I was feeling too embarrassed and lost to speak with somebody and used AI to unblock myself and start to take real action on my own." it is saying, looking sheepish, "I'm just a smoldering birb but anger at a tool rather than the creators seems misguided. It's absolutely 'Fuck Sam Altman / Elon Musk / Microsoft's CEO' or whatever, but 'no fucken AI' misses that point slightly" To which the resounding response is a screamed "NO FUCKEN AI"
a selfie of Alanza. he is grinning at the camera. the shot frames his face pretty tightly; you can see that he is wearing an orange tank top, the hint of a necklace, and an indoor scene in the background.
pic unrelated: Alanza shirtless on the beach, wearing a cap, a backpack and a tote. he occupies most of the frame, but you can see beachgoers with their umbrellas, the sand and mostly the sky in the background.
a selfie of Alanza. he is grinning for the camera, sitting in a chair in the corner of a bar, wearing a shirt that reads “Protect Trans Kids” and a cap.
a selfie of Alanza standing outside on a city block. he is wearing a band t-shirt and a cap and giving the camera a Mona Lisa smile.
Alanza stands on the edge of a cliff, looking out away from the camera over a forested mountainscape and holding a waterbottle. He is wearing boots, swim briefs, a hat and a letterman jacket which reads MATH on the back. His pose is reminiscent of the Caspar David Friedrich painting referenced in the text of this post.
