All foliage flats done!! There's a lot of detail to add but I'm gonna move on to the flowers and seeds to at least get all the paper covered. We are now at about 12 hours in this bad boy.

I start on The Big Painting today.... wish me luck. this bad boy is 18" x 24" and it's going to use soooooo much gouache

I did an illustration for Trans Day of Remembrance today at work.

Our little community contains so much anger and grief, but it's because we love each other so fiercely. We remember our dead because their memory keeps us stubborn.

I love all of us today, and I hope you do too.

Stopping here today! The ground is all blocked in and the leaves are halfway done. Learning that for a painting this big I need VERY clear sketches.

Do you like old timey country music or bluegrass? Do you wanna support Indigenous people making contemporary music in their own languages?

Well if you answered yes to both of these questions, please check out Agalisiga’s album Nasgino Inage Nidayulenvi (It Started In the Woods). He’s a Cherokee singer who recently released a whole album IN CHEROKEE. And it’s really good! Available on Bandcamp and other streaming services now!!!!

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

hello!!! I am this yelling blue jay!!! today is the today to vote as if your life & future depended on it, which I know is a message we are all tired of hearing but I am going to be as annoying as a jay about it because now is not the time to let fears of votes not mattering or “well they’re just as bad as the other side so why bother” or any of those other things get in your way.

Stand up for the folks who can’t make it to the polls, stand up for the folks who have been illegally barred from voting. Be their voices today as well as your own.
