Oliver Konetzke, whoever you are... Brilliant! 🎯🙏🤩

youtu.be/9nWlp9-2lNw Unedited, uncensored, I do not hold back. Yes it’s messy, but I want to hear your thoughts.

As I was saying…

Largely retired from photography. This is from one of my last sessions, a bit over a year ago. I've had a camera in hand since 1991. That's 34 years! These days, it's mostly painting and sketchbook works. Not very actively pursuing sales. Attempting to... just... be.

Sunday morning coffee and reading time. With a 5 year old in kindergarten, a big 'ol farmhouse to take care of, full-time job, family and friends... my reading time often gets pushed out. Not today! Now... I read. 📖

I'm such a worm. 😂 A webworm! I feel that the best place to get news is to do the digging to find independent journalists who report on things that matter to you. It's about authenticity for me www.webworm.co/wildorgan/ @davidfarrier.bsky.social

I buy used items whenever possible. Used books being one of my biggest weaknesses. Will I ever read ALL the books I own? Probably not. But life is about having choices, am I right? 🤔🌈🥰

We had a superb evening last night at the Art Saves Lives reception. I'm so glad to be part of this show 2 years in a row. At the Athenaeum in coordination with the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention.

I grew up in a non-denominational Christian church. Sounds innocuous. It was not. This article spoke to me deeply. Highly recommend. open.substack.com/pub/webworm/...

Complete. Fun fact. This is the very first time in my life that I've drawn a particular face without a reference photo or a live model. And I had no one in mind when I began. I prepared by asking that my vision and pencil be guided. I believe they were. #sketchbook #divination

Holding down the fort at the gallery today. Sketch pad activated.

Young blood, run like a river Young blood, never get chained Young blood, heaven need a sinner You can't raise hell with a saint Young blood, came to start a riot Don't care what your old man say Young blood, heaven hate a sinner But we gonna raise hell anyway -Dorothy "Raise Hell"

Newly arrived, diving in!

"Transformation" was accepted into the Art Saves Lives exhibit at the Athenaeum Indy and co-hosted by AFSP Indiana. The opening gallery reception is on Saturday, August 2nd, 6-9pm.

Oh. Nah, AI isn't creepy at aaaaall. 🤦🤷‍♂️

Well, that was devastating. #ClaraBow #TheItGirl Any Hollywood biography suggestions for my next journey into the past? #RunninWild

The US has been fucking around with its citizens reproductive systems for over 100 years. In fact, the Nazis learned it from watching us! Just search "American Eugenics." Policing women's bodies isn't a new thing, but in today's age of information, it's inexcusable no to rise up against it.

Sitting here about to order a snare drum like I know what I'm doing (I don't) and know what to do with it (I do not) ... but I have an idea in my head like an itch.

If you are a straight ally, even when there's not a queer in the room, thank you. If you struggle with this, let me explain why it's important to be an ally behind our backs... open.spotify.com/episode/1gHg...

From the sketchbook, 2023. Didn't get her name but I felt like she had a hard life, though she appreciated the little things no one could take away from her. The smell of lilacs wafting in the spring air. The sound of a child's laughter. The small things made her happy, and so she was.

"Lori" acrylic on canvas. Around 2022. I just love the color palette here. My first love and now the best Auntie a Gay 'ol Papa like me could ever ask for. 🥰 #acrylic #canvas #painting #originalart #artist

"Disassociation" acrylic on canvas 2023. Part of a series on men's mental health. This painting recounts the night of my daughters 3rd bday party. It was a wonderful day. Then night fell. My husband had been drinking. I was primed and ready for a complete mental breakdown. It was a perfect storm.

Acrylic on canvas. 2018. "Jake" I have realized that in the beginning of my painting journey it just never occurred to me to use "natural" colors. Skin tone, etc. Then I just said "fuck it". 🤔😆 #acryliconcanvas #painting #figurepainting #maleform #acrylic

One of the best portraits I ever created. Heavily influenced by the style perfected by Greorge Hurrell. #portraits #photography #georgehurrell #monochrome #b&w

Central Park. Fall. Taken on a long weekend, belated honeymoon trip. Saw Wicked on Broadway and got as immersed in Manhattan as we could in the brief time we visited. #centralpark #manhattan #fall #photography #travelphotography

Alien Skull Sketch. I never really know what's going to come of it when I open my sketchbook and start a new work. I love this one so much. #aliens #skull #sketch #artist

Correcting the fact I have never read this classic. #books

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Made some things, helps maintain the nerves, in... ya know... "these times" 🖤🧙‍♀️✨️

Front yard, 2 years apart in the same spot. 🥰 #rosehips #willow

Quite excellent. It's the kind of thing that takes you places. Each track is a transporter. 🎶👂🎧

The best Victorian Historian you'll ever hear! New episodes on Mondays, and honestly, just how refreshing is that? Something to look forward to on a Monday? Yes, please!
