Spent the morning getting these fellas into some frames for Fridays opening. These are new monoprints from my artist residency at @flowercityarts.bsky.social

Governor Hochul and State Lawmakers must do what New York's GOP Congressmembers refused to do: stand up for New Yorkers.

It's time to #TaxTheRich and #InvestInOurNY
Today’s vote is a stark reminder that New York’s extremist Congressional Republicans are willing to forsake their constituents so that billionaires get more handouts. By voting to enact Donald Trump’s deadly budget bill, billionaires and corporations will get richer while over one million working-class New Yorkers lose healthcare, children go hungry, and rural hospitals face permanent closure. “New Yorkers deserve representatives who protect working-class families, not politicians who sacrifice their constituents’ well-being for their billionaire donors. We will remember this betrayal and hold them accountable. “Not all needs to be lost: Governor Hochul and the Legislature can show the nation what state leadership looks like. State leaders can increase taxes on New York’s millionaires –– those who stand to gain the most from this federal budget bill –– and use those new public funds to protect our communities from the most extreme cuts.

Is Bluesky the place for this? For 10 years, I’ve hosted an intl print exchange that’s grown to nearly 1000 artists (and some 15,000 prints) of all levels of experience. 2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the exchange and I couldn’t be more excited (and scared) to kick this off one more time!
