Is anyone else with me on this? I think I’ve had an epiphany! Yungblud is the male version of Taylor Swift! His care for his fans, his deep sense of connection, his ability to articulate original takes on life & experiences that are pure heart… 💛 💛 Anyone else see it?? #yungblud #taylorswift #twins

I think this one is nearly finished - started with a base of acrylic ink into which I pressed crumpled cling film, and then layered watercolour paint, acrylic gouache and colour pencils on top. I think I’m going to call it “Night-blooming…”! #art #watercolour #acrylicink #abstractart #painting

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later
Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

A little sketching in the sunshine with my coffee this morning!
A little girl came up to watch and told me that she liked drawing lions - friendly lions or fierce lions, I asked? Fierce lions, she said, with relish! 🦁👏🤩😂🥰

Finishing 2024 as I plan to start 2025 - painting some new backgrounds! I love this stage working wet-on-wet in acrylic inks, and all the dramatic surprises!

100% this. 🙄🙈
imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"
