""A.I makes art accessible"

Beethoven was deaf
Stevie Wonder was blind
Van Gogh painted stary night in a mental health hospital.
Pierre-augustine had arthritis
Frida khalo was born with Spina bifida, contracted polio and sustained lifelong injuries from a car accident.

I beg to differ.

I'm feeling very dooms day here with everything that is happening in our government. It's activating the paranoia facet of my OCD and triggering my anxiety/agoraphobia. 😮‍💨

I seem to have fallen off that wave of creativity in March which is a bit of a bummer. For now back to basics #art #artblock #naptime

It breaks my heart when I see a small artist who is doing great art but people are only giving likes. C'mon guys, please click that share button for them, they deserve to have their work seen by a larger audience, if you like it, someone following you will probably like it too! So please, share it 💜

This is the stack that makes up my entire body of work for the month of March. I've never been on this much of a creative wave but I'll take it. All (except the turtles) of this will be available for sale Sunday at @abiggaymarket.bsky.social in Troy! #art #market #popup

Looks like I'm going to have a busy March. Cat (Artemis) for reference on the size of my piles of canvas. #art #painting #cats

I'm really excited for Confetti Stage's show Rehearsal for Murder tonight. I'm all set up with my wares ready.

I'll be here at the Masonic Temple in Albany friday-sunday this week and Thursday-sunday next week! #art #communitytheater

I know the weather warming up doesn't help but keep in mind the more we don't spend the more desperate they become.

If you're really itching to get out and do things today spend time in the community and with small owned businesses. I'll be spending my time at Confetti Stage. #resistance

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I'm so excited this is on view at the Mohawk Valley Art Shop in downtown Schenectady for Art Night. I'll be there tonight to chat and hangout #art #artexhibit #schenectady #upstateNY

The best and worst part of doing well at markets is the constant manufacturing of goods. In this case stickers, sticker packs, and pins. I cut them all by hand 😭 #art #marketprep #artmarket
