I do NOT support expansionism! The continued destruction of the U.S. and global economy with his eyes on Canada, Greenland and who knows how much more is absolutely morally wrong!

And the censorship, subjugation and rewriting of history continues... unconscionable removal of historic photos for the purpose of, well, stupidity and control of their narrative. time.com/7265496/pent...

Mean while, as we are being absolutely stupid in the USA right now, atrocities continue around the world. The ongoing crap in Sudan is one of note: (I am so furious about this!) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/w...

How to fix the art world! Well, at least 1 painting. This 4 foot painting was started during one of our recent live shows. I tried to carry the painting forward but just couldn't make it work. The radical approach had to happen. And it did, on another live show! www.youtube.com/live/BmjpBje...

"Maelstrom" and "Phoenix Rising" or "Flight", I can't decide on the painting title for the 4x4 foot one on the right side... Be brave, be kind, you are not alone...

"Frequency Variations" Take a look in the world. Artist & people who can think creatively see patterns before many, that's why the arts are some of the first voices to be crushed. Be aware my friends, be brave #createwithoutfear #Minnesota #global www.davidaustingallery.com/store/p/rgr9...

Good morning my creative friends! I hope you all have a peaceful and harmonious day. You deserve it. I am wondering if anyone out there knows some corporate art placement galleries in the USA or even better, Canada, Europe. Places like France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland

Thrown and altered pottery. I am still playing with finishes on the series. I actually know what I want, I used to have a cone 9 reduction glaze recipe I developed with heavy zinc in it. It created some really cool poc marks, very much like something crusted up over time in the ocean. Duluth MN
