When you think of a Christian, don't think of what MAGA has distorted that word to mean; think of Jimmy Carter, the kindest President America has ever had. #RIPJimmyCarter

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

One CEO gets shot and now all CEOs are scared to go back to the office.

Imagine how our children feel going back to school.

START DOING BAD ART. I can’t draw realistically for shit, but I love to break out my watercolours and fuck around. Have fun with it! Be gloriously bad at things! Embrace the camp of it!

Oh - how I love this sweet essay

Joy in the dark is a candle. I don’t feel good about our country, and I don’t wish I our country well.

I wrote about the bowl and about how joy in a dark time is a candle that must be protected.

Just watching an old Antiques Roadshow where a woman brought in a painting she'd bought for £250 30 years prior. It was appraised on the show for £15,000.

She said that's lovely, but I haven't finished looking at it yet.

Do I ever love that thought.

You stick the packing tape on magazine image, cut out (or tear out) the tape, soak in water for 5-10 minutes, then gently rub the paper off of the tape. The transparent image magically stays on the tape (usually).

Wow ❤️

I just learned about transferring images using packing tape. Experimental mixed media collage with watercolor, pen and ink and some tape transfers
