This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

It's now official, but will that matter? Genocide has been and continues to be the intent. We need to stop the world to save what little is left of humanity.

The Handala is less than 48hrs from Gaza in hopes to break the siege on a people facing an entirely preventable deliberate famine. We wish them safe passage.

This mixed medium piece features a freehand grey scale illustration of the Handala on her way to break the siege that Isreal has on gaza and save as many lives as possible.
The boat is adored with the words Break The Siege in a font style worthy of being at sea, but toned in red, black and green.
Above the ship are two large gold flags gracefully waving off into the distance from tall masts that stretch high into the sky with the words FEED GAZA in a large bold letters.
Below the ship are six gold smooth wave-like shapes.
May we all wish her safe passage, please help save humanity 🙏

Stonewall Solidarity
Mixed medium on paper, marker, acrylic and pencil

May this serve as a reminder that queers didn't get to where we are today without trans folk. (+ alt text)

#stonewallwasariot

#queersolidarity
#wheatpasteart
#mixedmediumart
#resistanceart

This piece features large text, the word Stonewall is featured at the top with the T missing from the word, this is in response to the national parks removal of trans people from the Stonewall monument. In the middle of the piece are large letters T L G B stacked and shifted to appear as if the L G and B are working together to keep the T in Stonewall. Surround those letters are small objects that could have been thrown during the Stonewall Uprising at the beginning of the queer rights movement. The small items are a molotov cocktail, coins, a high healed shoe, a glass containing a drink spilling out, and of course a brick. Behind the items and the letters T L G B is the latest rendition of the inclusive pride flag. Below that is the word Solidarity, because we know what happens when one groups rights are attacked, the rest of ours will be next.

May this serve as a reminder that queers didn't get to where we are today without trans folk. It's clear rights are being chiseled away from our friends and chosen family members. This is not the time to sit idle, the L G and B have been singled out, so we need to be the ones advocating and supporting them. Regardless of how many times they try to erase people from existing, I'm confident there will always be a T in Stonewall, because I trust the love I've seen coming from this ever growing community. Unit our love and respect for our queer kin and we'll get through this together, just as we always have. Let's help lift one another, solidarity ✌️❤️🌈

A year ago Aaron Bushnell made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to send a message. As the fire burned, his final words were Free Palestine.

RIP Aaron

The visual for this piece feature a grey scale illustration of Aaron standing among flames that form large words that read Free Palestine in gold acrylic paint.
May the fire that Aaron Bushnell started shine bright enough for world leaders to find the humanity they've lost. May it also shine bright enough for the rest of us to see into the future, where genocide is not only allowed it's profitable for the wealthy.

The wealthy want us to believe if we can't afford life in a system that is rigged to benefit them, then we don't deserve to live at all.

This image inspired by a true story where a young man's life was snuffed out after he could no longer afford asthma medication.
Illustrated in gray scale marker is a plastic bag over a human head, the words Profit Til Last Breath are painted with gold in large block letters covering the majority of the head, the bag is tight and wrinkled to illustrate the lack of oxygen as the words also conform to shape of wrinkles and facial features. Around the neck painted in gold is a rope wrapped twice and pulled tight and extending off both sides of the artwork, the bag handles protrude from the bottom portion of the neck tightened by the rope. A block print pattern of red dots forms the upper body across the bottom portion of the artwork.

The future is going up in smoke, it doesn't have to be this way. Turn anger into action.

Anger Is Valid

This 2 tone gold and gray mixed medium work reads Anger Is Valid 1.5 degrees celsius in large font that form flames above a silhouette of a burnt out and a fire fighter pulling a hose with the word breached in gray tones jumbled up and floating in an upward direction like smoke.
This piece inspired by the epic wildfires in LA. For those unaware, we humans have breached 1.5 degrees celsius of warming, we were warned about years ago. We are now at 1.6 c. We should all be very angry. The future is being stolen from all of us, but it doesn't have to be this way. Remember back early 2020 when many of us were in awe of how quickly nature will heal if we just stop! I have hope we can unfuck ourselves but large numbers of us need to divest from the current system.

The wealthy want us to believe they have morals while profiting off death, destruction, exploitation and suffering. But public opinion has already made its judgment.
