Did we get rejected by the same zine fest? 🙃

Four new memorial portraits for those killed by ICE in April and May last year.
🔹 It’s been lovely to see so many portraits of Renee Good from artists in the last weeks, and I can’t help but feel that all those killed by ICE deserve the same kind of acknowledgement. I will be drawing every one we know of from the last year, Renee Good included.

A hand holding a small oil painting of a silhouetted figure with a shield in a swirling cloud of smoke and teargas.
I usually stick to more opaque painting, so I had to get some new pigments and test out the technique on the glowy parts of this little one first.
Look at how warm and glowy this piece gets when I apply translucent glaze around the edges of the flames.
