My newest jeans use indigo-dyed warp yarns on the outside and rainbow weft yarns on the inside. A subtle detail that's mostly hidden now, but should become more visible as the denim ages.

I've been loving the onigiri options at Konbini SF (on 24th and Harrison). Today I tried their purple sticky rice fantuan (飯糰）and I'm hooked.

Quick portrait of Betty Galagos, Mexican National Yo-Yo Champion and World Yo-Yo Contest Women's Division Champion.

I drew this with Pilot Parallel pens, experimenting with touching the nibs of two pens together to create color gradients. A neat idea with mixed results. (I made a pun!) #yoyo

Trying out my new Parallel pens by Pilot. I haven’t owned calligraphy pens before, but I really like the way these lines look.

Devon Rodriguez has removed both of his Knick's prints from his shop. He's also deleted every social media post about these paintings (about 12 in total).

Here are some screenshots of his shop and IG page before that happened.

Gavin Snider's posts on this topic are still online.

Devon Rodriguez recently deleted his behind-the-scenes video, but I've archived a copy of it on the Wayback Machine. Still no direct response to the allegations of plagiarism that I've seen. https://archive.org/details/devonrodriguezart-3920880331176136095_503285615_2-20260616_085620

After this incident, Gavin noticed another of Devon's recent works that appeared strikingly similar to one of his own watercolor paintings from 2025. When the two pieces are aligned, several compositional elements appear to overlap.
