A reminder to any canadian (or any) #watercolor artists. Beam Paints is an Indigenous owned company with beautiful plastic-free hues. Their sparkly metallics are to die for

Finished this one up after some reworking. 👌 The watercolors got too dark and heavy, so I ran the painting under water and scrubbed a lot of it off, but ended up really liking the softer ghosted look that resulted. I went over the line art again with walnut ink and called it done.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

I am still working hard on learning/improving with watercolors. I like how this one turned out; the flowers got a little messier than I'd have liked, but I still learned a lot. 👍 And I have a good scan of the sketch that I can print on watercolor paper if I ever want to take another crack at it.

What Mathnet failed to instill in me when it comes to math skills, it succeeded in instilling a wider range of pop culture references than our mostly PBS watching household would not have had otherwise
The gritty modern reboot to MATHNET that we've needed for some time.

We don’t need AI to “be creative” for us; we need a world in which there is time and space to wonder, joke and play with words. To fuck around with color and texture, to experiment with an intriguing sound, without the need to immediately convert process and artifact into engagement to stay solvent.
