A digital drawing of a knight being carried in the air by an imp with small wings. The drawing is mostly black and white with some red. It's digital, but has a lot of graininess and stippling to create depth. The digital drawing is on top of a photo of a street post on Valencia St, which makes it appear as if the characters are flying in front of the pole.
A photo of some cracks on the ceiling of a dark little jazz club called The Rite Spot.
Whistles and zines inside a nice looking 3D printed case in a coffee shop. Some of the whistles are loose and very colorful, with the phone number for the SF Emergency line on them. The zines say "Be Loud, Form A Crowd".
A yellow circular creature playing with a yo-yo. It sort of looks like Pac-Man but with arms and legs. It’s yo-yoing and almost hit a parrot that was flying above it. The flier says “SF Yo-Yo Club at 826 Valencia. All ages. On the second Saturday of month. Human-made art by DocPop.”

A photo claiming to show the execution of Alex Pretti, but appears to be fully AI generated. Alex is on his knees trying to get up, while three ice agents are nearby, one is pointing a handgun at Alex's head. That agent has his mask down, but has some weird black thing on his nose. He isn't wearing glasses. Another agent appears to have no head. This image is almost identical to the next image, except there are few subtle changes to the shooter's face between the two images.
A drawing of Woody Guthrie, made using pink and blue inks and a dipping pen. The inks bleed wildly on the paper, giving it a very unique look. Rather than straight lines, the ink spreads around like fractals or lightning bolts. Surprisingly, it’s still possible to tell what the image is, despite the ink bleeds.
A flier for Help Wanted, a play at the Church of Clown. The next show is on Sunday, January 11th at 8pm. The flier shows two black and white photos of the same person in different outfits. In one of the photos, she has balloons stuffed under her shirt sleeves to make her look strong and muscular.

A video showing a Google search for "best 3.5mm headphones" results in an AI Overview result. Adding "... Trump showing" still adds the AI overview. But if you add "signs of dementia" to the search, then the AI Overview disappears. After testing that, the user then does a search for "best 3.5mm headphones is Kamala showing signs of dementia". The top result is an AI Overview saying "There is no credible, medically-supported evidence that Vice President Kamala Harris has dementia."

Three men in the foreground look scared and are running away from the man with a sandwich. The men are heavily armed federal agents of ICE. The drawing is made entirely with pink and blue inks with a little bit of white paint on a light brown sheet of paper.
It's fun making analog art again, but I miss being able to export timelapses of my drawing. So I tried capturing some of that in this video. Starting with the concept sketch (in Procreate) then transformed into my CMW style (cyan, magenta, and white). The song is "The Procession" by #OpenMikeEagle
An example page from this month's jam comic. Each panel was drawn by different artists. It starts with a scene of a bunch of bison in the forest. Then it shows a winged bison with wings that comes to alert the other bison about an alien invasion. Then we see a panel of a bison waking up in bed after a bad dream, but there are aliens outside of the bison's window.

It has a drawing of my face on the cover. Also on the counter are a couple of mini-comics that I'm purchasing from the store. They are the same size and format as the free comic, but they are about a couple of San Francisco bus lines and how big media organiztions cover the crisis in Gaza.
