By May 28, 2020

Two women meet on the street, woman number one scowls and looks at her phone; woman number two shows woman number one something she made to commemorate the Covid-19 deaths. Woman number two says "I made this paper doll chain ART from the NYT 100,000 COVID-19 obituaries list."Woman number one walks away, still scowling.  Woman number two looks shocked. Woman number one says "Thanks I hate it."

What Others Are Reading...

6 panel comic from the series Socialist Grocery, in which Sebastian is approached at work by a man asking if the prices of avocados being high is in any way related to the high gas prices; to which Sebastian spirals and thinks about googling "how to explain capitalism in 1 min," but instead just says "um... yeah, kindof."

Socialist Grocery
Three large works on paper hanging on one wall, two butting up directly next to one another, the third about a foot away, featuring abstractions and renderings of pictures in picture frames, framed drawings within the drawing, and geometric shapes with varying colorful patterns.

Tandem focus on interiors devoid of humans, by Leslie Kerby and Michelle Weinberg at Project: ARTSpace
8 panel comic from the series "Socialist Grocery" in which Sebastian has a strange interaction with a customer at the grocery store; the Covid-19 mask mandate is lifted for the second time and many people are not wearing masks; a man who is wearing a mask tells Sebastian they're not paid well enough to deal with the health risks of work and the government doesn't care about them- they need to go to the casino together, gamble, and steal- and they're going to win.

Socialist Grocery
Three-panel, black and white comic, with the title 3:00 at the top, meaning, three o’clock. A woman wearing a mask is checking out her groceries at the store. The cashier, too, is wearing a mask. On the shopper’s phone she reads that the federal mask mandate is lifted. The cashier announces the amount due for the groceries: $200. Shocked and sad, the woman hesitates to put the credit card in and buy the groceries.
