In the last month I have drawn 15 memorial portraits for those killed by ICE— Just short of halfway through the list for 2025. Really feeling the enormity of this project. 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/blog...

🔹 It’s been lovely to see so many portraits of Renee Good from artists in the last weeks, and I can’t help but feel that all those killed by ICE deserve the same kind of acknowledgement. I will be drawing every one we know of from the last year, Renee Good included. 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/blog...

Here's the time-lapse of my latest oil painting, Zipper 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/oil/... #art #oilpainting #protest

Look at how warm and glowy this piece gets when I apply translucent glaze around the edges of the flames. 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/oil/... #art #oilpainting #protest

I made a Mass Defense Hotline stamp. Ask a legal observer about it at your next Portland protest! Don't get stuck in jail with nobody to call.

I've been drawing portraits with a more saturated line lately and I'm liking the results. #art #portraitart #drawing

Incendiary — oil on cotton canvas — 2025 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/oil/... #art #oilpainting #protest

I painted this little piece to try out some new techniques before applying them to a larger painting that I’m excited to share soon. It turned out nicely in its own right. You can buy it if you like! 🔗 grafera.zone/shop/

Some backyard bird sketches for the bird log~ 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/sket... #birding #art #illustration

I've been birding for a couple of years now, but I’ve decided that I will actually log and draw each type of bird I identify in 2026. I saw 14 bird species in the first two days, so I have some catching up to do.

Hard to overstate how much nicer my days have been since I started doing some low-stakes drawing first thing when I wake up instead of scrolling. Sometimes I forget that drawing is my life's most beloved pastime and I actually don't need any other reason to do it.

This morning's warmup~ 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/sket... #portraitart #drawing

I added a new sketchbook section to my archive— a curated collection of sketches, explorations, and unfinished works from the last few years. 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/sket... #art #drawing

Painting some canvases that are big enough to sign on the front lately~

🔹 In April I painted a series of small impressionistic landscapes featuring different parts of my garden. Each was painted en plein air and then finished with a more critical eye, independent of reference. 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/blog...

The last Community Jail Support onboarding event resulted in a bunch of people meeting and coordinating on recurring jail support shifts together. It's been so cool to see new excitement around a practice I really love and believe in. Could be you, on Sunday!
