Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A couple months ago I made my first linocut in 25 years, yesterday I finished a big boy version of my abstract saguaro cactus print. 8x10 vs 5x7. On lamali Lokta handmade paper using Caligo safewash ink on my cold pressed laminator. :)

Bigger! New 8x10 saguaro cactus linocut print next to the old 5x7. Just the green backgrounds. Still working on carving the lines.

Almost forgot that I accidentally made something for #penguinawarenessday

I made a new thank you card to send out with Etsy orders last night to replace my boring old text only one

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

My #artvsartist for 2025. I didn't get nearly as much art done this year as I wanted. That guy sworn in on the same day as my father passing, then my cat too. I did find love. I started making linocuts just 27 years after taking a printmaking class and had a very small showing at a cd release party.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.
