"kidnapping 13 million people is a crime. It was a crime in the 15th century. We’re talking about crime victims who weren’t just victimized for a day; they were victimized their whole lives... We dishonor those who came before us if in this moment of crisis we remain silent" - Bryan Stevenson 🎁

new coloring book page just dropped. chinga la migra, ICE out of LA!

An image of a California Grizzly holding her children, surrounded by california poppies. The text reads CHINGA LA MIGRA, ICE OUT OF LA. chinga la migra translates, more or less, to FUCK ICE.

Hodge wanted me to art in tandem, so i made these using crayons & cruddy pastels. i find kids art supplies to be difficult to use, flimsy & frustrating. we decided we’ll stick to quality materials. i made a sharpie sketch to shake it off. he went back to building object stories all around the house.

scribbled crayon drawing on cardboard of an ill proportioned person wearing a blobby outfit, big hat, sitting next to a flower.

a very scribbled, cruddy pastel drawing on thin black paper of a human that might be waving. my child said he thinks it’s walking out of a cave because of the scribbles in the background.

a difficult to describe scribble creature made with sharpie on cardboard backing. it has a bushy tail and is just sitting there.

“the weight of mountains and feathers that cannot be dropped competing equally for space.” more about it and other pieces from the week on my substack: open.substack.com/pub/therefor... #painting #surreal #emotive #humanity

a blobby unfinished looking painting of a multi faced person or creature with horns. it’s messy and not easy to describe like my thoughts while creating it.

#MerMay i’m not certain i’ve ever done one before. it may be debatable if this is. the other e looked at it and said, “So, you think a mermaid is just a fish?” i replied, “yes. delirious sailors telling a tale to justify awkward, intimate hallucinations.”

i’m not good at this bluesky thing. having no other social media besides here & substack i need to be if i want to keep even a teeny bit of my 25 yr career. my mind, energy level & time limits my ability to talk or text right now. i’ll post my work even w/out words & hope it’s still seen. ❤️

kiddo is a cat magnet and other ramblings about blob therapy ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/therefor...

black and white ink drawing of wide eyed child wearing a tshirt with cats all over it. a cat is laying on top of their head like a hat. they’re holding a sign that says: “but … it followed me home. can i keep it?” a homage to my kiddo and the endless random cats that adore and follow them.

when we first moved here we found a little plant of brown sticks behind the trash cans. i saw a bit of green, so we trimmed it, cleared the area of weeds and leaves, turned it into a garden area. every year the little plant is the first to turn green, bushy and bloom giving us its love.
