Anyone got any good #podcast recommendations that aren’t super newsy/current events? (I listen to plenty of those already) I really despise banter/interview styles and prefer a sweeping story told. I sincerely miss podcasts like The Truth and Heavyweight and I love Criminal and This is Love. Help!

My newest print! “Take Cover" #Woodcut, E.V. of 25 (b/c some prints are on Mulberry & the other paper is Cougar) Mulberry here measures 25"x31". I printed this with the talented students at The University of Utah!

I love that Tonja Torgerson’s and I’s free prints from Body Politic are being used in this context!

'Ye Olde Sign Shoppe at the American Sign Museum' is the latest at bl.ag online, where I get to indulge my fetish for photos of old sign painting shops and related tangents.

Blue sky I want to love you but sharing on evil meta is still easier as an image based artist…

Local UM college radio station KBGA 89.9fm has been playing “I Believe In Love Again” - Jex Opolis Remix ON REPEAT since at least 9:30am this morning. Is this subliminal messaging?
