'Haunt of the Heron.' Archibald Webb began experimenting with woodblock printing in 1921 - most of his works are strongly identified with aspects of daily life around the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia.

I've been trying to get my version of the Bechdel Test to catch on called the Ballard Metric. It basically asks if the creator was able to work for free or for slave wages due to an invisible financial safety net and recontextualizes the work. (I'm kinda joking idk)

Oh, this will go well.

I was struck by this pre 1977 self portrait from leguins NW Pdx house, featuring her view of an intact Mt St Helens, mostly since the volcano was talking to me on Sauvie Island yesterday about how you can fucking blow your top and still command r e s p e c t

Creative work in the United States is no longer sustainable. Unlike other countries, there’s really no public funding. So, most folks that can afford to be artists nowadays already have wealth. Obviously that’ll skew their pov & subject matter. Thanks for tipping & keeping me (a poor) in the game 🙏

My old flat is in the documentary I’m watching! Top left. Fun!

Jon Buxton painted some really nice historic vignettes. some of these scenes are of events and people from the Pontiac’s Uprising book I’m reading now! I like how he emphasizes the landscape in these pieces. I enjoy his paintings of these quieter moments.

“If there be but one Body of Legislators, it is no better than a Tyranny” Another page from my copy of ‘The Universal Penman’ by writing master George Bickham the Elder (1684–1758), a writing guide with a multitude of styles issued in parts between 1733 & 1741; still apropos in 2026. 📚💙

Jan. 12, 1776: "The Creed of a Modern British Patriot" scathes the opposition that is taking America's side in the war. "I Believe that self-interest is the Deity which I ought to worship. That, to get the present ministry removed, and secure to myself a place or pension, all means are lawful. 1/2

James Hamilton Hay painted this in the half-light of an autumn evening in 1910. His work from this period was greatly influenced by Whistler; here stillness, visibility, obscurity, shadow, and light hang in a delicate balance.

Some recent faces. 🫥 I’ve been drawing a fair bit lately. I have a pretty good pile of comics too but my relationship w posting my art on the internet is changing, and I kind of don’t know what to do w them. If I print some up I’ll post a link here though.

This is part of a broader pattern with Trump. In 2024, talking about George Washington, he told a crowd "They thought he had slaves. Actually I think he probably didn't." And don't forget the historical marker for the "River of Blood" at his VA golf course, a Civil War battle that never happened.
