In 2020 I repurposed one of my websites, Aplacewithnoname as a forum for satire and social commentary. Using the pen name Brother Wagwit, I created a weekly digital pamphlet titled The Pantaloon. During the first few years Brother Wagwit/The Pantaloon was a one-page, broadsheet-styled online publication, posted as a JPEG file on the website. In that time, I had almost exclusively used my own photographs as the source for my digital illustrations. Early in 2023 I began presenting Brother Wagwit/The Pantaloon series as animated GIFs, still in a broadsheet format, using my photographs and other available public-domain imagery. At the start of 2024 I reformatted Brother Wagwit/The Pantaloon into a square format with a border –an animated GIF comic strip– and started incorporating digitally-altered AI generated images that I prompted for each theme.
Aplacewithnoname also includes PAPERBOY, urban and social narrative illustrations by Felix Padrón; and Day 3, existential paradigms on the long tail of the curve –which I created and presented using my name. The Day 3 series has been discontinued. PAPERBOY is sporadically ongoing.
