I've been working on a portrait of Nina Simone for her birthday. It needs some finishing touches, but it's getting close. Happy Birthday Nina, you have inspired me to be authentic, sing my heart out, and fight for what is right. #ninasimone #watercolor #art

If anyone's keeping tabs I *did* end up finishing that painting. #watercolor #bintourong #jerboa #art

Getting out to advocacy days and protests can be intimidating, but it is endlessly validating, inspiring and grounding as well. Had a really great #TransAdvocacyDay with Gender Justice League

I fold #origami when I'm anxious Let's just say I've been anxious a lot lately.

#WIP on my #blueskyartshow reflections piece. A Bintourong with its Jerboa travel companions. Show me some love to help motivate me to finish this thing!

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Is it possible to be burned out for a year? If so, I've been burned out for a year. Hoping to overcome that... eventually. Here's my #tarot #empress in the meantime. #digitalart

@governorferguson.bsky.social how are you going to help the citizens of Washington keep our voices? What can we do to help you, but also what are you going to do to stand up for us?

There is a lot of yelling at senators and dems for action. Of course action is needed, and I support mobilizing your reps, but we also need *them* to tell *us* how we can support. What grassroots movements can we do?

If the problem is an economic split, tell us how to disrupt the economy. We may know some of the answers, but until we hear it from a leader, we are too fractured and scattered.

I am realizing what the left needs more than anything is a unified voice. To give is *specific instruction*. Tell us when and where to mobilize. Tell us what to boycott. Be specific. @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov this could be you. Most people I talk to want to help, but don't know how to.

Took some time to watch the Black Power Mixtape for a while, which I was insanely overdue to see. Angela Davis in particular speaks powerful words, especially relevant to now. If you've never seen it - or if you have, sit down and watch it. I promise you will take *something* away from it.

I used to write a lot of poetry. Sometimes I still scribble a word or two. Here are some of those words.

Hello #blueskyartshow ! Here's my ten of cups #Tarot. I had a lot of fun painting the #light in this one. Layer upon layer... #digitalart

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Another #art post to pause on between the (justified) stream of anxiety and anger. The Four of Swords #tarot card. Find time to rest in this battle, it will be a long one. #digitalart #digitalpainting.

For today's art post, here are some adorned animals I made that celebrate my family's heritage, and the indian cultural practice of adornment as a form of worship or praise. You can buy limited edition signed prints of these on my site! #watercolor #gouache #elephant #tiger #deer

Here's something I made a while ago for a friend. An #overthegardenwall incense holder. Gregory holds the incense stick like a fishing pole. #sculpey #incense #clayart

Here's my latest #artvsartist . I do a lot of stuff! #3d art, #woodblockprinting, #digitalart, #pyrography , and good old #watercolors. I also freelance, and sell prints of my work.
