My cats were being cute.

Also mushrooms.

Apparently it's abstract day.

Morning market

This will be traveling with me to Edmonton. I really love it, and I hope someone else will too.

A painting from a while back while I remind everyone that I am a trans artist, and if this changes your experience of the work, it's a reflection of your thoughts as much as it is the context of my creation of art.

Playing with willow weaving and making tools, in this case a dry goods scoop for like dried beans or similar. It was fun to make.

Today's live art

I at first thought this was a painting I did in 2022, by the thumbnail. Nope, it was a recent one. I wonder what place inspired it.

Today's mood as demonstrated by my cat.

Food counts as art, right? Red snapper on curly kale topped with a new to me variety of black tomatoes. From garden (and fish market) to plate.

Still arting at the market. Another non landscape today.

I was painting a house and a kitten from somewhere found me so we got a photo together.

Garden flowers from today. I'm feeling slightly sad, if I could bring flowers to people who are struggling today I would. This is as close as I can get.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Realizing the past few weeks of paintings line up. Maybe this is some place in my memory. Reminds me of up Jumbo.

Perspective means steep hills don't look as good on camera. Isn't the human brain fascinating how we turn lines into indications of depth, height, how mathematics can manipulate our understanding of the world in strange ways?

stripe has offices in San Fransisco, Chicago, Staten Island, Seattle, and D.C. , (you can find them all here headquartersoffice.com/stripe/ ) so if you live in any of these areas and want to let them know how you feel please show them how bad they fucked up

I miss working with clay so much

This is worth paying attention to.

This year has been a good year, this is a daily harvest.

People are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I'm having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle's Facebook posts, their friend's medical advice, or literally anything Google's top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense...

Happy Canada Day!

Newest painting.

REPOST

I grow roses as part of my garden. This one is special, although some years it's closer to purple like it ought to be.

Another world is possible if we fight for it.

If anyone is looking for a large art piece with mountains, lupins, raindrops, I'd recommend my piece called Ptolemy.

2 big pieces currently sit in what was supposed to be a studio. How do I find homes for such large pieces? It's not easy with large art.

Some of my doodles from the Mushroom Festival.

I haven't finished framing this one. It might take a while.

Just assume anything you do online is monitored. There’s no such thing as privacy. The only question is if you’re interesting enough to pay attention to

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

Happy Pride! Heading out to be social, grateful for the opportunity to be out in my community.

In my garden I had a visiting friend.

Another favorite. Carved from a block of clay. Different way to do it. Then painted.

This is one I don't want to let go of. I've of my 2021 pieces I think. I just like it.

Maybe I should paint this.

Went hiking today.

Neighborhood bees!

My mystery plant appears to be flax.

Realized I posted this to be Instagram but not here. This is a 2021 piece.

I don't work until 5, but then it's all night till 10. The cats are grudgingly taking this time for cuddles.

My tomatoes are looking ready to meet the garden outside.

Earlier today, I was leaked a copy of the Executive Secretariat Style Guide for the US State Department. The new guide included a new section requiring that all trans State employees must be misgendered in all official communications. www.patreon.com/posts/new-st...
