Just saw someone post an AI modified version of my art to announce a life change.
Happy for her, but please don’t alter art with AI.
It’s a stab on an artist’s back and I DO NOT want my art to be included in an AI data base.

Trump/Hegseth/Rubio killed 40 Venezuelan civilians two days ago. They've been murdering random fishermen for weeks.
Think about that. Really think about that. Think about shaking the hand of someone responsible for that. Think about writing a news article about them and not mentioning that.

Spot art representing myself for this year’s MB Artists Fall Gathering in NYC.
The art prompts (size 2”x 2”): “An 8-10 year old character representing the artist 🙋🏾♂️” and “a fun animal spot.”
This is a good time to say thanks to my art rep MB Artists for our 21 year partnership.
