Traumnomics is a series of digital drawings that explores my disparate memories of traumatic events in my life. The imagery helps embody the past in the present.
A neighbor acquired these two works.
Mayfield Farms /
Ohiso designed the website, logo, and illustrations for Mayfield Farms, a small-batch bakery on Long Island. Here is a banner at their local farmers market.

Inflatable Monsters /
A steady rain on Halloween kept many kids away. Parents stood with umbrellas on sidewalks as their kids dragged sodden costumes with poor mask vision and weighted gaits through varied verdure.
Our candy bowl was untouched, drizzle droplets on Double Bubble and Hi-Chews.

Black & White Monster /
Halloween is much less scary than the real world these days, though my costume is quite terrifying. For one day, enjoy the friendly fright. Five days later, the world ends as we know it. Ooh wah ha ha ha ha…OOH WAH HA HA HA HA!

Thimble Comeback /
At Levi's outlet in University Village, a local tailor can alter your newly purchased denim or any jeans you bring for repair—🎵ooh lala Sasson.🎵 Since the pandemic, there has been a surge in people sewing again.
My mom used to sew patches on my knee holes, replace buttons, and mend tears in my clothing. The life of clothing was stretched to save money. Let’s hope this trend continues instead of the seasonal disregard of fast fashion. Interestingly, the iconic thimble in the game of Monopoly was retired in 2017 only to return in 2022.
Mean Machine is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Vantana Row on 14th /
I spotted the Vantana Row touring van parked on 14th Ave. NW behind Ballard Market (Town & Country) this morning. I will never call it Town & Country because it’s deeply wired in my 54-year old noggin and you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Plus, a rebrand is always a sell out. 🤘
They played a show on Sunday, June 30th, at Add-A-Ball in Fremont, along with Fresh Produce, Fuuls, and I’ve Never Been Here Before. Their music sounds like a drum set fell out of the back of the van, along with the love child of Stormtroopers of Death and Big Stick, in a good way.
According to SF Weekly, the van is their home/studio/concert venue, and they are known to play inside and broadcast the show on live TV for passersby. It was before noon when I snapped this pic, so my guess is they were sleeping.
“People Have Cats” is dope. I have two. 🐈⬛🐈
Seasaw Turns One /
On June 1st, we celebrated one year of Seasaw. It started as a reaction to the blob of mass media that felt generic. The same stories kept surfacing. We wanted to create a weekly link drop that contained local stories and news that didn’t always beat the algorithms.
Thanks for subscribing. Here’s to another year or, at least, until Election Day, when we become a full-fledged fascist country.
