An enormous wall of trash about 500 feet in length and up to four stories tall was recently discovered near a highway in the English countryside, leading to a national outcry across Britain.
A Colossal, Hidden Pile of Trash Ignites Outcry in Britain
The discovery of a mountain of garbage near a highway is the latest example of what experts say is a growing problem of criminal organizations profiting from illegal dumping.

It is easy to miss the cloud reflections in the puddles
when the drones are perching on the telephone wires
and boats are exploding off the coast of Venezuela.

It’s easy not to notice the flirtatiousness of the wind
when there is black smoke over Palestine
and everything’s coated in oil.

This is my childhood teddy bear, Bear! I am a huge fan of the Ghibli films and Totoro is my favorite, so of course I had to paint Bear hanging with Totoro in the rain! This was a nice challenge to see if I could create something from imagination.

ART FACT: Yayoi Kusama's common pumpkin motif represents a symbolic self-portrait or alter ego for the Japanese artist. Her obsession with the pumkin began in her early years when her parents ran a seed farm #Womensart

Even without the digital element, this pin is designed to be a functional guide to some of our most common trees! I really wanted to create something both beautiful and helpful for understanding nature. #SciArt

I hope you like it! 💚
