What are your favorite #Adobe Creative Suite alternatives? I don't want to pay $70 a month anymore if I can help it. Most immediately, I'm looking for #Lightroom and #Photoshop alternatives, although I'll need recommendations for #Illustrator, #Premiere, and #AfterEffects, too.

Tomorrow! My solo show, "Rare Earth," opens at La Luz de Jesus Gallery! @laluzdejesus.bsky.social This one's called "Alarm Call V," one of a series of absurdist little vignette drawings of birds & rusty old fog horns symbolizing nature's warning signs about climate change #traditionalart #drawing

Rare Earth, drawings by Brian R. Williams, Friday, September 5 at La Luz de Jesus Gallery

"Alarm Call V," graphite on toned paper. A pair of brant geese fly past a fog horn with 5 horns of various sizes, each facing in a different direction. The horns emerge from the top of a rust-stained cylindrical concrete structure built among an archipelago of sharp-edged triangular rocks. Visible at the base of the structure are metal pipes, wheels and drums of uncertain function.

A photo of "Alarm Call V" matted and framed in a gold wooden frame.

Working on the next piece. Not totally sure how I feel about it yet- but that’s part of the fun in these: I might go in with a plan, but I the material doesn’t always act like I expect. I have to be open to some improv. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartist

Update: I’ve repaired it twice now. Last time, it was so close to being finished before I found a hairline crack in it. I’ve fixed it, and polishing it again- hopefully just one more time. Fi gets crossed… #fusedglass #glassart

This one has been a pain in the butt. Broken twice while I was working on it. But I think I’ve not only saved it, but made it better! …Let’s just hope it survives the last round of polishing. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartist

Happy Portfolio Day! Here's a sample of my traditional-media work. You can see more on my website: brianrwilliams.com #portfolioday #traditionalart

A pencil drawing showing a young boy asleep next to a creek in the woods. Watching the boy sleeping are three fantastical creatures made of moss. A rabbit rests beside the boy, an owl is perched on the shoulder of one of the moss men, and a white-tailed deer watches the scene from behind a tree trunk.

The final piece that I’ll be selling this summer. This was the first panel I created of the five, and it might be my favorite piece I’ve ever made. It was as an experiment to use up scrap glass left over from the large installation panels. #fineart #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandartist

Yellow and white triangular fused glass panel made up of smaller triangles. The glass is streaked with variations in color.

Got back from the Italy/France trip and sorting through photos. It’s always humbling (and more than a little discouraging) to see how many bad photos i took. But eventually, I find the good ones and suddenly, I feel like a decent photographer again! Editing your work is an underestimated skill.

Steve Galgas @galgas.art · 03/07/2025

Of the 5 pieces I’ll be selling this summer, this one most resembles the panels from the full installation. I learned a lot after making 25 of these for the installation, so this one-off is even more refined than the ones in the installation. #fineart #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandartist

Steve Galgas @galgas.art · 02/07/2025

I have come to love creating white-on-white pieces. With such a minimal palette, their subtle color shifts and changes in opacity become more apparent. This is the third panel of five which I will be selling in late summer. #glassart #fusedglass #abstract #oaklandartist #glassfusing

The second Limerent Object I’ll be selling later this summer. In Limerence, yellow triangles represent hope. Making these helped me through some difficult times, and have become a sort of meditative practice. They are my version of prayers for protection & peace. #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandart

The first of 5 pieces I’ll be selling later this summer. These are offshoots of a project called “Limerence”. Its pieces large and meant for an industrial space, but I’ve made smaller works (“Limerent Objects”) to fund the full project and to experiment with new techniques. #glassart #fusedglass

Apparently it’s #PortfolioDay. I don’t have a formal portfolio photos for my glass work yet- that’s something I’m working on this month. In the meantime, here’s a sampling of what I’ve been making.

As LA's crisis continues, this empty chair speaks volumes. While trying to keep a small business going, perspective hits: so many have lost everything. Free portraits if you've lost your home. Studio sessions & prints available for others. Together through this 🖤 #LosAngeles #LAarts #SupportLocal

A modern black and wood accent chair sits empty against a dark textured wall. Natural sunlight streams in from the side, creating dramatic shadows on the wooden floor and highlighting the chair's curved design.

I’m in the process of packing up my Facebook and Instagram- having already downloaded and deleted over 600 photos off each. It’s tiring to keep jumping between platforms- but it’s *your* content. You should own it and have control over it. This might be a step towards that:
