They let me out of my cage for some enrichment (I befriended some orchids).

'Potential'. A dryad holding a magnolia in front of the night sky. She looks very much like a tree, and she has dark eyes and a hopeful expression. Made with colored pencil and green and brown watercolors.

Hi, I'm a mixed media traditional artist based in the US, and I'm inspired by nature, folklore, and fantasy. ✨

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Drawing in brown pencil of a red-crowned crane (a kind of 'self portrait') with wings raised, head thrown back as though uttering a cry, standing on the back my character, #PudgyHorse, a baroque type horse with luxuriant mane and tail and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including an extremely generous girth and short, delicate legs with dainty hooves, who in turn is standing upon a burning pyre of books and art materials, issuing stylised flames and smoke. The drawing is a deliberate tribute to Arthur Rackham's illustration of Brünhilde riding her horse, Grane, onto Siegfried's funeral pyre, from the book, Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods.

This was drawn a few years ago but might as well be apt for how I'm feeling this #YearOfTheHorse. Riding #PudgyHorse onto a pyre of my sketchbooks and materials. 🙃

Obvious nod to Arthur Rackham's 1911 illustration of Brünhilde's immolation scene from Götterdämmerung.

lmaoooo I love how I imagined this as some sort of love potion and all my friends are like "No, that's the boobie potion"

Posting the silly boobie potion here because it's the only place I can post it. A little inspiration came from the 1828 miniature self portrait Sarah Goodridge painted of her breasts.

I'm a part of it. Not separate from it. I walk on the ground and the ground's walked on by me, I breathe the air and change it, I am entirely interconnected with the world.

Anyone using and sharing those resistance bird icons need to know that some (or a lot) of them were created with genai. 😬

To people who want to make imagery that says something; stop using genai. Please! It's their tool. It represents theft, false and unauthentic images, lies, harm, and wrongness.

Chicagoans send 150,000 whistles to cities besieged by federal immigration agents On Friday, Emily Hilleren and Lauren Vega ferried a care package containing whistles and instructional zines to Minneapolis, the focus of the latest federal immigration action.

For people around the world - just know that amazing and brave activism IS happening all over the US. Check out this story, for instance. Congress does jack shit for us, so people do what they can and more.
