The Universe gives you infinite chaos — your job as the artist is to pick up the right bits to use to #MakeTheThingThatIsNot. #AbortiveAttempts #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

An old reading primer vocabulary page with multi-colored ink modifications: arrows that connect simple words into sentences, like ‘Put the pig in the pot but not the dog.’

No matter where the golden threads of your IDEAS come from, they must LEAVE YOUR HEAD to become art. #AbortiveAttempts #postcardquotes

A brocade background with a collage. The main figure is a vintage boy whose head has been replaced with a primitive mask. He is surrounded by religious icons, and affixed to the card is a web of golden wire leading from the boy’s head to the icons.

We can try, but we cannot organize the stars. We can only simplify. #MakeTheThingThatIsNot #postcardquotes

The left half is an old encyclopedia article about STARS. On the right is a black background with silver and gold flakes glued onto it, and in the center of that is a piece of graph paper with a simplified geometric drawing that looks like a constellation.

The thing about STEALING FROM THE PAST is that they can't tell you you're doing it wrong. #StealFromTheBest #postcardquotes

An etching of Renaissance decorative carvings has been scribbled on with colored pens.

Sometimes the threads converge. Sometimes they disperse. PAY ATTENTION. #Gestalt #postcardquotes

A drawing in gold ink on a white background. The center is a collection of squares, surrounded by an irregular oval of gold, which then bursts into golden cilia in all directions.

Pay attention to what you're looking for, not just what you find. #Gestalt #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

A dark blue background. In the lower left is a golden circle; within it is a vintage drawing of a fish’s tail. White lettering tells us, “We pull our nets through the life-filled waters, finding the fish though seeking the sea.”

Plato was not always right. #AbortiveAttempts #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

A red circle is superscribed on a vintage drawing of a pomegranate; the circle is “perfect” while the fruit is not. A message: “Where did you get the idea that your circle was supposed to be perfect?”

You have hundreds of excuses not to make the that thing you want to make. Do not use them. #AbortiveAttempts #MakeTheThingThatIsNot #postcardquotes

Art paper that looks like an old catalog listing with white lettering: “You have hundreds of excuses not to make that thing you want to make. Do not use them.”

The past is there for the taking — disassemble your idols and use the parts to #MakeTheThingThatIsNot. #StealFromTheBest. #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

A collage with an 18th-century man holding a carriage above his head. Johann Sebastian Bach is in the carriage, and a slogan says “Steal like a boss.”

Make sure you throw them on fertile ground. #WasteBooks #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

A vintage drawing of a cross-section of a pomegranate with the phrase, “The seeds are the part you throw away, right?”

Sometimes you have to go down a few space-time portals (aka 'rabbit holes') to get there. #SuccessiveApproximation #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

A honeycombed background. A vintage photo of a boy reaches into one of the honeycombs; his arm appears through another honeycomb, reaching for a golden hexagon.

"You see it as a flaw.
Step back.
Look again.
#Gestalt #Lichtenbergianism" #postcardquotes

A piece of black art paper is glued onto a kraft paper background. It is rectangular, but a notch is cut out of the top. Asemic writing seems to indicate measurements and perhaps instructions about the situation.

See all the pieces? All you have to do is pick them up and put them together. (See any patterns? Even better — use them!) #AbortiveAttempts #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

An abstract sketch with red, white, and blue ink on a black background: squiggles and dotted lines.
