“Least Concern” • gouache & watercolor on paper • 24”x24”
This painting focuses on species that most of us appreciate for being beautiful or cute, but that don’t merit special conservation considerations because their populations are stable or even high enough to be a nuisance. Most animals fit into this level of prioritization, living and dying in makeshift habitats on whatever land we have least use for, amid our pollution and highways and homes and collapsing ecosystems and discarded things, their situation never quite dire enough for us to feel it’s worth the trouble of fixing.
For Thinkspace’s “POW! WOW! Hawaii: Exploring the New Contemporary Art Movement” • Showing February 3rd - 24th at the Honolulu Museum of Art School

"And Cain says, “When you split me and my brother in the womb, you did not divide us evenly. He got kindness, and I got longing. He got complacence, and I got ambition. I want to kill him sometimes. I think sometimes he wants to die.”
- Nathaniel Orion, "Hevel"

Johnny Eck was a performer from the 1930s who was born without any legs:
He's primarily known for appearing in the 1932 cult classic Freaks directed by Tod Browning.
However what I'm mostly obsessed with is this account of a magic trick he did with his non-disabled twin brother (text under the cut)
Like this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Can you imagine
Wikipedia screenshot:
"In 1937, Eck and Robert were recruited by the illusionist and hypnotist Rajah Raboid, for his "Miracles of 1937" show. In it they performed a magic feat that amazed audiences. Raboid performed the traditional sawing-a-man-in-half illusion, except with an unexpected twist. At first Robert would pretend to be a member of the audience and heckle the illusionist during his routine, resulting in Robert being called on stage to be sawed in half himself. During the illusion, Robert would then be switched with his twin brother Eck, who played the top half of his body, and a dwarf who played the bottom half, concealed in specially-built pant legs. After seeming to have been sawn off, the legs would suddenly get up and start running away, prompting Eck to jump off the table and start chasing them around the stage, screaming, "Come back!" "I want my legs back!" Sometimes he even chased the legs into the audience. The subsequent reaction was amazing – people would scream and sometimes even flee the theater in terror. As Eck described it, "The men were more frightened than the women – the women couldn't move because the men were walking across their laps, headed for the exit." The act provided the perfect jolt by frightening people at first but then caused just as much laughter and applause. The illusion would end with stage hands plucking up Eck and setting him atop "his" legs and then twirling him off-stage to be replaced by his twin Robert, who would then loudly threaten to sue Raboid and storm out of the theater. Their act was so popular that they played to packed audiences up and down the East Coast."

In Orzammar, things are solved quickly and with as much bloodshed as we can stand… and then a little bit more.
