Please weigh in on your perspective:

Why is it taboo to criticize the romance between my home ( US ) and Israel? Why do people , at best, politely smile/smirk and change the subject?

Learning how to coat, burn, washout, and print. So much fun.

Too many Democrats spent a good part of last year demonizing campus protesters, refusing to acknowledge Palestinians as humans, and painting people who want an end to Israel's genocidal actions as terrorists.

Trump is pouring on the gas, but Dems lit the match and threw in some logs.
The lawlessness, incompetence and brutality are accelerating as the Republic tips toward dictatorship.

Senate Democrats, under Schumer's leadership, are useless and essentially collaborators. Democratic governors need to get straight on what the plan is.
NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.

1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.

A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

A lil recap from our book making workshop at @richmondartcenter. There's so much joy in teaching people who, some of them, had never sewn a book before. We absolutely crushed it! I hope you all feel proud of pushing past your comfort zones.

What is there to say that hasn’t been said?
Last night, the Israeli military carpet-bombed Gaza, killing at least 404 people, including many children, and injuring over 562 in its renewed attacks in one of the deadliest single-day tolls since the start of the Israeli military's 15-month-long genocide against Palestinians.

Just a snippet of student work from our last session of printmaking. I’ve neglected sharing all the incredible work they did this term for reasons only I know 🫠. But this was a very sweet and funny group of folks.

This continues to be scary as h*ll.
BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Outgoing order for longtime client and friend. An international traveler who comes bearing gifts. 😀

Typically I sew these little booklets on my old Singer 401 but it needs a day or two at the shop fix the timing and tension.

I’m estimating it’ll be another hour before that last little spot in the center gets coverage.
Not even asking why anymore 🫠😩

Had a lovely conversation with my lovely friend David Dastmalchian in a casket. Yes he was in a casket. I was also in a casket. Things get real when you’re talking in a casket.

I'm on my way out with a stack of mordant-ed papers, a tub of methyl cellulose slime, and some hopes and dreams. If all goes according to plan, me and my pal will have zero problems creating marbled paper. Zero. Because all the Tiktoks and YouTube videos have assured me that it's just super simple.

A little study from a tutorial from Ogygia Art. I’m not skilled at perspective or lighting but love practicing.

I’ve had a huge creative block for months now and the only activity that helps is painting. I’m not a trained fine artist. Much more of a craftsperson ( book binding and letterpress ). But lately I’ve been following tutorials online , copying other people’s work to learn specific skills. Very fun.
