As an artist myself, I'm just going to keep sharing art from the Gilded Age, and let it speak for itself.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

If you need some inspiration for this moment, Americans, look up the Polish Solidarity movement. I wrote a paper about it fairly recently for a class, by interviewing a close family friend's parent. Her father was a journalist there at the time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

The news remains shit so why not enjoy this video of someone trying to clean a water bowl for tortoises while the tortoises repeatedly try to get in it? (Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DF0jAMl... )

Please don't perpetuate a discourse of hopelessness. Maintain the conviction that a president is answerable to the courts. If he tries to dismiss them, any resistance will be better off coming from a public that expects justice. Call. Write. Sit on lawns. Make good trouble.

Every single MAGA woman thinks she's Beth Dutton from Yellowstone. Remind them that they're Becky at Wal-Mart, and they don't know how to blend their contour.

Can you believe someone abandoned this cutie in the middle of December? People suck. I caught him this morning and now he is fed, safe, and warm. Bunny has been dubbed Fizzgig. Fizzgig will be up for adoption at Hare BNB rescue in Lacey, WA.

I did this several years ago when there was a trend(I think on DeviantART, in the Before Times) of painting over your favorite cartoon characters in your style. Mononoke Hime has always been such a special film for me.

Now is a good time to know that MANY of the current leaders in genAI & tech development are in a weird cult and seriously believe in Roko's Basilisk. Roko's Basilisk is just Pascal's Wager for stupid dipshits. They actually want a to make a permission structure to create an evil AI overlord.

One of my best art teachers said something that stuck with me forever: the best scenes depict something that is about to happen, something that happened, or something that might happen. AI does not understand this, because it does not, and still cannot-- understand context.

This ream of paper is our financial aid app for Rob’s cancer treatment. No, I am not joking. This is what cancer care as freelancers looks like. We had to add extra pages to it Friday night, because it wasn’t enough. It took more than 200 hours to compile this.

Pacific Madrone are beautiful in death, too. I've been quiet, folks. It's really hard to be an American who believes in democracy and human rights this month. I have to remind myself that beautiful things still exist.

It's varnish time! These puppies are almost ready for epoxy resin. All of them are hand painted in holbein acryla gouache by yours truly, so each one is a lil' different.

"Plugged In" A piece I did in 2015 with our increasingly online culture in mind. Marker on bristol board. Ya'll are gonna have to bear with me reposting old stuff for now, It's been a minute since I've felt any motivation to post new work with the situations in the last 10 years.

"Branwen and Owen Say Goodbye" A gouache piece from a shelved comic project. I'm not sure if I'll unshelf it, but I enjoyed worldbuilding and making characters for it.
