What a photograph.
“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”
Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I’m calling this one Ouch! I hurt my back, so I spent the afternoon sitting on the couch playing with the new Procreate brushes that came with their latest update. There are a lot of fun ones in there!

My first alter for Mabon. 🤗 I’ve never made one before and I’m very happy with it. I collected everything from our yard, so it’s all special to me. I’m excited to change it for each season of the Wheel of the Year.

JB Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”

Felt like illustrating a jack rabbit.
It’s really hard to concentrate right now with all the chaos going on in the US and the world. I believe we need to take collective action now, before it is too late, but I am just one small voice screaming into the void.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:
"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Stitched Together.
I don’t have anything clever to say about this piece. I’m just holding on by a thread here while the world goes crazy. I illustrate whatever comes out with no particular plan. I hope it brings you some joy.
