Minimalist oil drawings on paper.
A little messy. A lot of scratchy.
Imperfections are part of the charm.

Haven't created #art lately, but it's finally put my ass in gear to earn my certification in #Oncology #Esthetics. Talking about it for years, now my nose is in the books. I'll return, though. In the meantime, here's an oldy.

Why are we not talking more about Mass Strikes? Why aren't influencers talking about this? What are we scared of?

Commented this very subject on a few YouTube videos and they "mysteriously" disappeared. Is the subject monitored?

My best friend started a #cycling publication, Elite Women Cycling, in the Netherlands. He does some remarkable journalism for the sport! Check this article out, about balancing #education and top sport.

Learned that a good friend of mine and her family now have to carry their passports out of fear. Born and raised in the States, just the wrong color. This is a living nightmare. 😢

I miss working with #film. I'm not a purist (I also use digital), but I miss the ceremonial process. Color film was a rare occasion use. 🖤

#Polaroid - 2011 w/Keesh.

New #artwork has been slow to create. So I'm looking through old files. Amazing what a few years can do to unlevel a way of life. But they won't win.

#Polaroid - 2008 w/Stormy. It was a beautiful day in #Chicago.

Split black and white photographs. Top photo of a young girl with long braids wearing a mask. Lower photo a close up picture of balancing legs on a stack of wood beams. She is wearing a polka-dot dress and vintage heels.

Another #portrait from my Umbrous series. 🖤

Unfortunately, there are very few #photographs from this series I can share online because nipples are offensive and I refuse to self-censor.

Some time ago, I used to do a lot of #portrait #photography. I almost exclusively used a #Polaroid Land Camera, I was sad when they discontinued the #film.

From my Umbrous series. 🖤

One way or another, they're going to try to force their beliefs on you. We can't let that happen.

Black and white oil pastel drawing on paper. It is a very scratchy art style of a woman being surrounded and flooded with beliefs she doesn't want. This is an abstract, satirical artwork.

Black and white oil pastel drawing on paper of a depiction of political war against an innocent person. Flowers grow and die rapidly on the land and a lone rat feasts on the "waste".

A black and white original artwork on paper. The design of the work is all in white using scratchy gestures. It is an abstract art piece of black oil pastel on white paper.

75 House Democrats voted to show gratitude for ICE forces and police amid their nationwide ethnic cleansing operations.

What media is calling riots, are peaceful protests that were attacked by ICE and defended themselves. #3E #EndImpunity
