I know it’s not Halloween or Christmas yet, but I just love this digital drawing, that I made last week, so much that I couldn’t wait that long to share it. Surely, I’ll repost then too.

Stumbled onto this today. I think similar thoughts this often.
Quote in white lettering over image of red and black sunset. “Colonialism didn't just steal land-it rewrote the story of nature. It taught us to see the Earth as something to dominate, not something to belong to. The fight for decolonization is the fight to unlearn this lie and rebuild our relationship with the planet.” ~ @earthlyeducation

I’ve stood and recited the first two (the first way too many times to recall). Everyone in the military has to recite at least one of these and I’m fairly certain congress swears a similar oath. Interesting, isn’t it? 🤔

Can you guess where I’d love to be right now? Finished this piece this afternoon, and now I’m missing my favorite place.

Elon Musk is autistic. Benjamin Netanyahu is Jewish. Marjorie Taylor Green is a woman. etc. etc. you can be a horrible person and oppress others and also be part of a group that gets targeted and oppressed in various ways. this happens all the time.

I don’t think people should have to experience unnecessary hardship, and I don’t ever want anyone to experience the same struggles I’ve have just because I’ve had them. I’ll never understand people who don’t feel the same.

Almost every day I add something to this sketchbook page. Since I meant to post this two days ago, there’s more to it now. I’ll share every so often until it’s done. I really love drawing creatures of the sea.

Reposting this #Pattern for #MakersmARTch
I’m patiently waiting for my blanket, printed with this pattern, to arrive. It’s going to look great on my orange chair!

I decided less is more. I really wanted to find a way to make orange slices work, but I’ll just have to save them for something else. Very happy with how this turned out.

I don’t use pastels often but I sure do love blending colors, especially to create the appearance of skin. In my happy place🥰

DISGUSTED by this administration cancelling federal recognition of Black History Month. The US was built on the back of the Africans ripped from their homeland, and their descendants. The US was never great & never will be until we acknowledge past atrocities and change course.

Collage illustration of the Whitehouse, as a plantation home, in front of US currency, plastered with a slave sale flyer. Plantation fields are blood-soaked, being worked by enslaved black field workers. Above them is a set of black hands, cupping dirt and glowing money, outstretched over the Whitehouse. In the foreground is a statue of an enslaved African woman in chains. US flag is flying, upside down, at the top of the Whitehouse.
