People keep telling me that there's no going back... (& yes I know we can't change the past) & yet this administration is determined to undo ALL the progress we've made in my entire lifetime.

Today's #nokings rally in #cary #nc was a glorious assembly of enthusiastic, patriotic, kind-hearted, creative & peaceable people. Many children & pets, many great costumes & clever signs, many supportive passersby.

Our Garbler-in-Chief has been outdoing himself lately with speeches that are bizarre & incoherent yet deeply dangerous. The UNGA was bad enough but yesterday's authoritarian pep rally was truly chilling. Image Gobbledygook, Acrylic on text on canvas, 2024.

A quotation from yesterday's leading man. #mlk #martinlutherking #hope #handlettering

Celebrating a champion of human rights today, ignoring that other creep! #mlk #martinlutherking #ballpointpenart

Girding my loins for the coming oligarchy! I'm an artist & most of my work is in the fantasy/pop surrealism realm, but I'm unable/unwilling to ignore the real-world horrors surrounding me here in the US!

It seems like a good time for a migration. I left the vile (per)version of what once was #twitter long ago, but now I'm hearing good things about BlueSky, so hello!
