quick sinners study and the couch wacom movink 13 set up 😆

some sketchbook pages lately

Hey folks, i’ve decided to share and reveal the secret to drawing in ink 😆

The idea that we're drawing our resolve from each other, that we are willing to put ourselves in harm's way to protect our neighbors, even ones we do not know, it's unthinkable to them. They don't understand that real strength doesn't come from HURTING PEOPLE but from PROTECTING THEM.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Fuck ICE. Sharing screenshots of a great post from The Financial Diet on IG that compiles some helpful jumping-off points if you’re still feeling helpless and don’t know what to do. (Part 1 of 2)

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

As of the new year more people had died in ICE custody in the past 12 months than any other year other than 2003. Here are their names and stories www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Geraldo Lunas Campos's last words as he was being choked out by a CBP officer in a Texas detention camp were "no puedo respirar" ("I can't breathe")--the same as George Floyd's and any number of other victims of police violence

We we will never know if Silverio Villegas Gonzalez had any last words before ICE shot him and left him to bleed out in the street and straight-up lied about what happened

Renee Good's last words were "I'm not mad at you, bro" Alex Pretti's last words were "are you okay?" I am mad. I am not okay.

Minnesota is the best of us.

Illinoisans: Dick Durbin's office numbers: 202-224-2152 (DC) 217-492-4062 (Springfield) Tammy Duckworth's office numbers: (202) 224-2854 (DC) (217) 528-6124 (Springfield) Not one more cent to this government until ICE is defunded. No excuses.

I’m not as active here as I am on IG, so i’ve been doing most of my posting there. Call your reps. Theres still time to block the funding bill. Support your local orgs that are fighting this in our communities.

portrait from a figure drawing marathon session this morning

back on some gouache!

Found some my old atelier figure drawings I had on a drive recently. This was probably one of my best ones. We had a month on these poses, 3 hours a day and 20 min sessions with model breaks in between. These are about 18x24”, graphite smooth smoooth Bristol. Probably did this one back in 2011

Damn, Neko Case is a hell of a musician and a hell of a writer too!

If you ordered a painting from me, they’re on their way soon! :D

Every alc donation no matter the size (previous & future) will get a print of this! Once the prints come in i’ll collect addressess shipping. I’m $2k shy of my ticket to ride w/ just a few months left! Any share or donation amount is greatly appreciated 🫶 giving.aidslifecycle.org/index.cfm?fu...
