like a butterfly dropping into its grave, of course. a phrase we’ve all used and a very normal, relatable kind of image that conveys clear meaning. i’m always saying this. so beautiful, like a delicate butterfly croaking mid-air and gently floating into a tiny open bug grave at the insect cemetery.

Happy to reveal my cover art for Aliya Ultan’s Looks Far Woman, out 6/26 on Kǒu Records! I was also exceptionally pleased to dig into some intense black & white art after working in color a lot lately. Check it out here: aliyaultan.bandcamp.com/album/looks-...

cool

the dark time

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Even I Have Given Comfort. Pen and ink on gouache-toned hot press paper, 7”x10”. Part of WOWxWOW’s annual small works show, Microvisions. Title yoinked from Russell Hoban’s Turtle Diary, one of the best things I have ever read. wowxwow.com/shop/microvi...

an easy fix

WOWxWOW’s 9th Microvisions show opens Friday (tomorrow!), so here’s a sneaky peek at my piece for it. Collector’s preview link in a reply (where you can be sneaky and find the whole piece a day early)

Work in progress

There is nothing like the DELIGHT of seeing good people you knew a while back doing good things. Brandon is an animator I went to school with and HE JUST LAUNCHED A KIDS SHOW FOR @aclu.org!!! He’s Mr. C (watch the whole thing) and words cannot express how fantastic this is on so many levels

I’ve seen a specialist who is in network for years for a chronic thing, and last year some weird billing error caused her to all of a sudden be “out of network” and it took more than six different calls with insurance rep to get them to talk to the hospital. Surprise! In network!

Somehow this is my 7th shirt design for Inter Arma, and I think it’s my favorite? For their @roadburnfest.bsky.social exclusive performance of The Cavern. If you’re lucky enough to catch them at Roadburn, please give them all enormous hugs. Their many years of trust means a lot to me.

Some of the best opening lyrics I can think of: “When the iceberg hit / oh they must have known / god moves on the water / like Casey Jones”

There’s a new @gadgetgrindcore.bsky.social EP on the way, and I am DELIGHTED to reveal the cover I did for it (gratitude to Brendon for modeling for me!). The EP is BRUTAL and I am so honored by Gadget’s trust on this! gadgetgrindcore.bandcamp.com/album/coerced

"RFK Jr. just wants to fight chronic disease!"

Brief wholesome timeline break: here is a silly goose I made at work (for attendees of a goose-themed birthday party to make this weekend) Back to the horrors.

call me old fashioned but I don’t think anyone should have to trade for “no deporting US citizens” we should get that one for free you know

ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

They're torture camps

Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane

Can’t make this shit up: this raised $666 (THE NUUUUMBER OOOOF THE BEEEEAAST) so $333 goes to each organization! Receipt screenshots in replies

Final day to enter!!! SO close to $500, please help me obliterate that goal today if you can. Thank you!!

The world factbook was an invaluable resource in asylum petitions—a place where the federal government acknowledged in writing that, for example, Tibetans face systematic repression in China. I don’t like to have it vanish.

Drawing winners 2/6, help me crack 500 for aid

Daily share! Doing this until 2/5. Entries have basically tapered off but I’m hopeful we can get this up past 500.

i truly hate how much we are living in a bad script

This is really heinous.

Daily share—raffle is up to 451 and I would LOVE to get it over 500 and be delighted if it could go even higher

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

the news cycle right now is unbearable. between the abduction & imprisonment of these children and the new wave of revelations about the child fucking elite, i just do not understand. how can you look at a child and feel any of those things. it seems incompatible with what i know about being human.

Continuing to repost regularly til the deadline

NYC nurses are still striking for safer conditions at work. If you have the means, it’s worth contributing to their strike hardship fund.

Boosting regularly until 2/5. Thank you for your help! We’re up to 281 raised to be split between two organizations. I would love to crack 500 for both organizations, and would be delighted to exceed that. Gratitude to everyone who has helped share this and contributed so far 🫀

My apartment's art is probably 75% @carolinedraws.bsky.social art You 🫵 should definitely get in on this raffle👇

Also gonna repost this thread with some additional artist raffles regularly. Again, thanks for contributing and supporting.

Gonna repost this regularly ‘til 2/5. Thank you for contributing / sharing.

I draw a holiday card every year & by coincidence, this year’s featured a loon. I’m putting the original drawing to use & raffling it to raise funds for the Immigrant Rapid Response fund in MN & the Undocumented Women’s Fund in NYC. Venmo @ Caroline-Harrison, $1 = 1 entry, unltd entries, thru 2/5.

Reminder that the border is currently defined as a 100 mile from any coastline, and so @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and TONS of other democratic senators are directly throwing their own constituents to the fucking wolves

And if Congress ever legislated on the matter in good faith (I know, I know), it seems obvious that there should be a distinction made between land border areas, rivers, etc. where crossing is a realistic possibility and frickin oceanic coastline.

Have seen a number of people (astutely) post the 100 mile border zone map which rings the country as a refutation of the second idea. But it's worth pointing out that border zone is the creature of regulation and a bad SCOTUS decision; Congress has never actually taken the matter in hand afaik.

there is no earthly reason to believe that these goons will comply with any new regulations! it’s like if I put a sign on my door ordering the pines not to drop their needles! they’re pines and those needles will drop! zero funding, “reform” my ass, this guy must be stopped

lol this would be the most Lucy football situation ever “Ok was he wearing the body cam?” “Yes” “Can we see it?” “lol, no”

I’m gonna set up a raffle tomorrow to support organizations protecting immigrants locally (in NYC) and in MN (will split whatever I get between the two), but before I do: a bunch of artists I met at a recent residency have raffles going. Links to their IG posts in replies. Mostly ceramics artists.

dystopia

In addition to calling your senator, may I recommend sending them a free fax? It annoys the shit out of them especially when their mailboxes are full. Senate Dems have the power to block ICE/DHS funding and @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social need to hear from you.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

just outright lying

i'm so fucking sick of being lied to i'm gonna go crazy
