Psychic

Sometimes, I post relevant images a day or seven before something notable happens. I don't claim to be psychic, nor do I believe that my artwork is somehow cosmically prescient. The coincidences can be interesting however and I started tagging posts with "psychic" whenever I noticed a connection. I created this page to keep track of the details.

Reeses Pieces - 10/29/2019 John Witherspoon died later that day.

Phasebook - 02/12/2018 I came up with this image after a friend (Rob) suggested I do something with Face + Book.  On March 17 & 18, 2018, it was reported how the profiles of 50 million users were harvested by Cambridge Analytica leading to speculation on the decline (phase-out) of Facebook.

Lip Sink and Sabre Tooth Fairy - 12/21 & 12/22/2012 These images are notable in that right after they were posted the weekend before Christmas Savannah, 4, repeatedly mentioned "lip sinking" and Skyler, 6, fell and knocked out both of her front teeth on Christmas Eve. (Fortunately, the teeth had been pronounced 'ready to come out' on a trip to the dentist earlier that month).
