Finally took a proper photo. 2026 watercolor on 48”x48” paper
Is it finished, or just "finished for now"? 🔍
I’m using my reducing lens to get some perspective. While it looks like a magnifying glass, it’s actually the opposite: double convex curves make the world look smaller, not larger.
Getting closer!

On the Media's "Breaking News Consumer's Handbook: Protest Edition" 1. TV news will fixate on incidents of violence, even if rare and uncharacteristic of the overall event. 2. Opponents will try to delegitimize protesters by claiming they are "paid" or otherwise dishonest. This is almost always untrue. 3. Measuring crowd size is an imprecise, politicized enterprise. Be skeptical of hard numbers: view aerial photos and compare sources. 4. Beware loaded terms such as "riot" and "rebellion." They often reveal the political leanings of the media outlets using them. 5. Crowds at protests are so diverse that the media can tell any story they want. Beware broad conclusions based on extreme people or events. 6. Coverage often considers whether protesters left a mess, or helped clean up a subtle jab or praise. The truth is somewhere in the middle. 7. Protest coverage tends to be episodic, not long-term. Seek out stories that place events in their larger political and historical context. 8. The media will try to tabulate immediate successes and failures of protests. Remember, their impact may not be felt for years.
