NO DMs

Hater of hate, lover of love. Artist, metalsmith, author of The Hotel Grim, fighter for democracy. Born in TX but made a full recovery. In MA now. #BlueCrew

There is more love in this world than hate; hate is just louder. TURN UP THE VOLUME, LOVE!
Trump didn't call out the National Guard on J6 insurrectionists. He pardoned them. He uses violence to his benefit.

Now he's trying to provoke violence in cities like Portland and Chicago so he can justify ordering the military to attack all who oppose him.

Do you think you're safe?

January 6 didn't warrant calling out the National Guard, but apparently the sight of this is just too much for Trump to stomach. Don't help the homeless, for God's sake...turn the military on them instead so the tyrant doesn't have to look at them.

More than 3" of snow this morning in Worcester MA. This was not in the forecast. 😕

I never understood the blue/white dress thing until I saw this. Now I get it.

This started as a scribble to test the darkness of a graphite stick, then she came to the surface. Now I love her, and I want to know what's on her mind.

Today's art. Abstract. Playing with textures and colors.

My art exercise today was a mini Starry Night on a small canvas board. I wish I had done a larger one now. It was fun!

Good morning, friends!

Scam alert: There is a fake Glenn Kirschner infiltrating the follow back trains. The real Glenn Kirschner posted his handle on X: @glennkirschner.bsky.social.

@realglennkirschner.bsky.social is FAKE! Please report and block.

Why do we bother saying "No DMs"?

This is a new one. 😆

Art break! This was one of my first "painted by fire" pieces. I hammered the clouds to give them texture and hammered a wire into the copper to create the illusion of lightening. Torched it until the colors came out. In a handmade copper frame.

From my sketchbook after the election. This is how I felt. I've been in the dark.

For my trans son, immigrants fearing deportation, women with no choice, for everyone affected, it's time to get up, dust ourselves off, and get back in the game.

I just ran across this pic. 😆 In Mom's later years, she was in a wheelchair that was a wrecking ball. She constantly ran into doors, walls, people, etc. She couldn't hear people warning her to stop.

So I rigged her wheelchair at the impact points with screaming rubber chickens. Hey, it worked!

Acrylic on copper really makes the colors glow.

"Saving the Light" is acrylic on copper. The sun was hammered from the reverse to create a dome on this 3D piece of art.

This is one of my favorite pieces. I doubt I'll ever part with it.

This is a charcoal drawing inspired by a gargoyle we saw on the Emily Morgan Hotel in San Antonio. She may be creepy, but I love her.

Acrylic on copper. The sky is bare copper. (The yellow streak is an anomaly from the photograph and isn't really there.)

A recent walk along the shoreline of Walden Pond offered this stunning mirror reflection of autumn trees in the blue water. This photo is raw and untouched. It looked this glorious with no help from anyone...except Don Henley.
