This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I'm running a comics workshop at @fantomcomics.bsky.social in March!! We'll analyze how death can be expressed through comics as an everyday occurrence, a catastrophic event, or anything in between 🌹

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

‘The Talking Cloth’ by Frances Featherstone is a masterclass in painting textiles and fabric! I’m just obsessed with how wonderfully cozy this looks!

If anyone is interested, this is the limited palette/gamut I used (8 colors + white) to make this piece. The green and pink neons mix to make a really warm orange/yellow ochre, which is just such fun color science!!! I love painting!!!

Gonna do hourly comics again this weekend, and it will probably be much like last year, with lots of birds. Maybe with more existential anguish.
I've scanned & posted my 2015 HCD (for the birds) on my website here:

Today she got confused when she knocked a peanut off my hand and briefly considered whether she should go after it, even though she already had one in her beak. 🥹 Also the crows are impatient for their own snacks, as you can hear. 🐦⬛

"what is this style called" it's called too many eyeballs, colors that hurt and can't be reproduced with CMYK printing, and the incorporation of reflective 3D elements that make my work impossible to scan. Acrylic and foam tiles on paper, 11.5 x 14.5 in.

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension.
Public pressure works.
If enough people speak up, a life may be saved.
Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.
Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.
Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.
We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

January is nobody's favorite month, which is why I selected these stylish sauropods as the first entry in my 2026 calendar. Initially created as a commissioned painting for a local client the previous holiday season, this piece quickly became a favorite addition to my growing library of Paleoart.
