Thoughts that I can’t put on IG.

There is no such thing as a “good cop” because the presence of “good cops” halts any real reform. That’s why ACAB. If you think yourself a good cop changing the system from the inside, you are not. At all. You are the excuse people use to make zero changes and continue overfunding police. Quit now.

Everyone who voted for this bill, I hope you never have another day of peace. I hope you hear the cries of agony from your constituents and their children in your sleep. And I hope when this is all over, you are found guilty for crimes against humanity for all horror that these laws will bring.

Just thoughts.

I painted more mushrooms, this time using a photo by @lukelukeluke.bsky.social I believe this is a pink oyster mushroom! (Feel free to correct me) First photo is in the daylight, second photo was at night in the kitchen of our air bnb🥰 #painting #mushroomart #paintstudy #oil #lowbarart

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

The last week has been constantly checking sources to confirm if enby and intersex people are being denied the ability to travel abroad from the US due to the invalidation of new passport applications with an X gender marker (which I have). If you’re in the same boat, I’m giving you a big hug rn.

I’ve been taking a nice social media break to focus on some exciting new changes in my work life that I can’t wait to share! In the mean time, here’s a painting I did of my dear friend Nina, who left this world too soon. When I need to bring more love into my vision, I paint. #painting #lowbarart

This will be my main decompression method for the year.

Some studies I did of mushrooms. I am enjoying oil on Khadi paper! #painting #mushroomart #lukaweinberger #lowbarart #allaprima

Trans feels rn. Also stop saying “it’s biology” while discounting the like 130+ million intersex people in the world.

Looking for Columbus OH queer and/or neurodivergent artists and academics who love: ❤️ tattoos ❤️ art ❤️ acorns ❤️ bones ❤️ cats ❤️ dad jokes ❤️ film ❤️ art history ❤️ literature/poetry ❤️ medical/scientific illustration and content ❤️ sassy memes

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Quick process! My oil paintings tend to start out really loose and gnarly. Some have argued I shouldn’t touch them after the first pass, and I have tried that approach as well. But here’s a slightly more polished approach! 🥰 #queer #queerart #transartist #lowbarart #lukaweinberger

Quick intro! Hi, I’m Luka (they/them). I’m a tattooer, muralist, and artist based out of Ohio (or North Florida, at this point). My tattoos center the passions of my clients, and my personal work centers diverse queer/trans identities as journeys through a vast wilderness. Come hang. 💕 #lowbarart

Fat is Beautiful Enough said! Would love to do more like this. #fatandbeautiful #fineline #blackwork #tattooallbodies #lukaweinberger #lowbarart #qttr

The Princess On the Moon 🌕 👑 Based on a story my client’s dad used to tell her as a child. I love bringing precious memories to life through art. Especially to memorialize loved ones! #blackwork #geometric #fineline #moontattoo #lowbarart #lukaweinberger #qttr #columbustattooer

Haku 🐉 What baby enby didn’t want to be Haku when they were young, whether in human or dragon form? Loved getting to take a stab at this iconic character and his many paper cuts! #haku #spiritedaway #miyazakitattoo #animetattoo #blackwork #lowbarart #lukaweinberger #qttr #columbustattooer

🦏 🌱 This is a spicy spot, but my client held it down. Super proud of this piece, especially because the amazing Josh Carlton (RIP) loved it, and he was a tough man to please. #rhinotattoo #blackwork #qttr #lowbarart #lukaweinberger #animaltattoo #columbustattooer
