A #hand-lettered initial for James Baldwin, with a passage from The Fire Next Time, p. 8, where he explains to his nephew that white people are caught in the trap of ignorance of their history, and until they realize it, they will remain trapped in a vision of white supremacy. #restistanceart

Today’s #collage is a “dream bubble” after the work of mixed media artist Julie Liger-Belair. Text in the corners says, “Even the stars have souls,” by Giordano Bruno, 1548–1600. The Church had him burned at the stake for refusing to recant his beliefs.

Today’s #collage is for “sculpture.” Typed text is the last 5 lines of Shelley’s sonnet.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Today’s #collage is for the prompt “dream.” I was thinking about my own dreams of late and how I’m always trying to get to the water, but I’m never able to actually dive in. I love the energy and joy on the surfer’s face. This is what I hope for young people
