I've been thinking about monsters. The real ones, they are too real… these greedy, selfish and powerful people that seek to rule through cruelty, through oppression, to manipulate through reactionary and authoritarian means. These are true villains.

Back from #ShutterFest and bringing some beautiful darkness. This paint session with Jennifer Abate turned out better than I imagined.
How do you challenge yourself as an artist? How do you push your work in collaboration?

Nothing better than that feeling as if nothing you do ultimately matters or will have a point, so why bother? This is just me screaming into the void. Thank you, void!

The Two of Swords represents a difficult choice, a crossroads, and blockage. Literal or metaphorical, we find ourselves presented with difficult choices.
How do you make these choices? Where do you seek wisdom? Is it from within or without?

Democrats,
You don't need presidential aspirations to lead.
You don't need the establishment's approval
You don't need to have all the answers
People are anxious for the future of our country. Fearful for the fate of democracy. Angry at the oligarchs and their insatiable greed
Step up and lead.

Remiss in sharing art, because I've been fighting off doom and depression through overwork.
But here I give you the Two of Swords, part of my ongoing #Tarot series:
A stalemate, a crossroads, put between difficult choices.

So...now having more business makes you RAISE prices?
Is that how Late Stage Capitalism works?
Because that is NOT how supply and demand works.

One of my favorite humans, @hauntedhousewife.bsky.social , asked if I'd help her with some product photos for her new jewelry mine and of course I said yes. So we played around on my new set with her gorgeous designs in a little Victorian #portrait session.

The ambush by Trump and JD Vance was pure thuggery—political theater designed to rile up the MAGA base with no real effort at diplomacy. This is what happens when far-right culture wars hijack foreign policy, reducing complex global conflicts to performative posturing—like a reality TV show.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.
Dear media:
Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.
It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.
Focus on those.
