There aren’t many things I think I should get a “thank you” for from my time at city hall. This is one of them.

Hey y’all. I’m flattered to have made @dbrauer.bsky.social’s list. If you’re familiar with me from twttr, let me start by apologizing.

Trying to get very far away from my former MPLS and political worlds. Have tried to make this more about my art. That’s a good thing. For all involved.

Continuing to work. I’m on insta @plantagenistastudios.
Lose up on center of North American continent done in reds and oranges by grid square with gold water and silver parks, unfinished. America and parts of Canada and Mexico in reds and oranges with gold water and silver parks, far closer to finished than the last photo. I’m trying to remember to take more photos of work in progress. This is a very large Twin Cities region map with 4 grid squares painted in, but largely unpainted. Here is the map with more progress made. Every city/township is painted in a color family (reds, blues etc) with parks being painted in silver. Maybe 20% completed?

I should remember to post here more! Works in progress for Wednesday. #art #maps #minnesota #mondrian
A map of the world in that Mercator projection with each 15x15 latitude and longitude grid square painted in reds or blues. If there is land and water in a square the land is one color, and the water another. The beginnings of attempting to paint Iowa in the style of a Piet Mondrian painting. (Big blocks of primary colors with solid black lines connecting them.) Nebraska with squares of varying sizes painted on top. The squares are shades of reds, oranges, and browns. A map of Ukraine with the Dniper River and Black Sea in gold relief. The map is painted in sky blue and yellow, like the 🇺🇦.

I’m going to try and use this space for good, and not being a grouchy smart-ass. So I make art. And I’d like to start sharing it with the world more (and selling it, if you’d be so inclined to buy it).
A hand painted map of Hennepin County. 1x1 mile squares are painted with each township being a different color family. A painting of Minneapolis in progress. Focused on monochromatic colors and a few bright metallic spots A Minneapolis in progress. Random blocks on the city in oranges, reds and browns. Ukraine in progress. The flag is super imposed on the country with the Black Sea and Dniper river in textured gold paint.
