Herb Butter on a Cracker from Jeff

While making my under-the-skin turkey rub this occurred to me.

Happy Thanks-forgiving!

Fire the Lazzzzor! @ NYC Resistor

Learn how to cut and etch with a CO2 laser. Burn your grandma a doily. Make your parents a customized picture frame with you in it (photoshop out the beer bottles first). Make a jewelry box for yourself or someone you like. Etch a plaque that says "You are the best!" The possibilities are huge.

Want to make something sweet for Etsy but can't cut a straight line? The laser can help!
NYC Resistor is hosting a Laser Class on Saturday, September 11 at 1pm. You'll learn what you can and shouldn't cut, what programs and file formats work best for your original drawings, photos and illustrations, and -- best of all -- you'll get to fire the laser and make something cool.

Bring a laptop and your imagination.

This land is your trash. This land is my trash. To the New York island #art

I went to the Staten Island land fill, you know, the largest dump on earth. For 50ish years we New Yorkers sent all our refuse there. Some of mine is there too. They're in the process of reclaiming it at $1 million per acre! They've renamed it Freshkills Park. All the garbage is still degassing. They're able to sell the gas-off as energy to ConEd -- but certainly not enough to pay for all the acreage development. The irony is that one day people will be picnicing mere feet from strata made of black and white TVs, bed frames, and filing cabinets.

When you threw something away this is where away was. Now our junk is put onto a train and sent to South Carolina. The little yellow front end loader is for scale. These cyan hoes are giants!

My Addiction Gallery Tucson AZ @Art_o_mat #art

I own My Addiction Gallery in Tucson Arizona. Last week we installed our Art-o-mat. It has been very popular! Today I was thrilled to pull the knob and receive my pewter Saltine. What a tasty work of art!

Thanks for being a part of Art-o-mat! It is bringing a lot of happiness to my gallery customers!
