I'm an artist. I work in oils, acrylics, textiles, wood, ad infinitum. I love books, Tarot, listening to scary stories, and unsolved mysteries. I enjoy learning about nature, ancient cultures, and spiritualism. No DMs unless I know ya✌️

I woke up with "Every Little Kiss" playing in my head. According to the weather, this evening I'll be listening to the mandolin rain.

Healing Update: I am using my cane to get around and in the last week I started driving again! I don't know when I'll be able to handle the stretch of highway where I was hit. For now I'm taking my time on the back roads. Ad scalae!

They all laughed as they spoke of an untried man, tortured in a cell with no way out, no hope of justice.

From the comfort of a gilded room, wrapped in luxury and power, they laughed.

These are not men.
These are monsters.

X. It’s what’s happening From breaking news and entertainment to sports and politics, get the full story with all the live commentary.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

If I go quiet, you can bet I'm depressed. My physical progress has slowed to a crawl, my left knee is still fighting flexion, Farmer's Market starts in a couple of weeks & at the same time I'll probably have to have another surgery. I feel like I'm building a castle of dry sand.

Bernie giving a speech in May of last year: "No, Mr. Netanyahu, it is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – seventy percent of whom are women and children."

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo.

"The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.”

Love this dude!

Pen drawing of a gaunt stone or bone oval crested celestial with gems for a face radiating aurora like plasma set against distant large constructions that form part of a helix while several techno-organic "moons" orbit it. It's body flows into a world of temples and structures from antiquity made of stone and bone with several figures embedded in them with the most prominent having the head of a wooly mammoth.

Pen drawing of a figure standing before an altar in the foreground while a large female celestial being with large twisting shapes that are their "hair" flows down to the horizon, flanked by two other beings made up of the void of space with stars shining in their bodies with several more off in the distance. The horizon is dominated by large stone cathedral like structures with a large tree with various beings and baubles on the left under a sky full of black stars and shattered moons

So it's #PortfolioDay.
I'm just a Dan on the Canadian Prairies passing some time scratching strange and cosmic things onto paper in a #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt sort of vein. These are all personal works and I'm just sharing my journey.

blue and yellow toned gouache art of a polar bear sitting and looking into the water, which is full of different sized fish. There are trees in the foreground and stars hanging from the sky around the bear.  The trees come down on either side to frame the bear and the water within a third, upside-down tree. The painting's border is the same pattern as the water.

A watercolor painting of a rabbit sat upon a mushroom, a star hanging from a string in their mouth.  A fox sits below them, looking up at the star.  Surrounding them both are blue and green plants.

An acrylic painting of a red rabbit sat in the middle of a clearing. All around them white rabbits are watching.  The trees and plants are stylized and colored with a light and dark blue.

A pen and marker drawing of a tiger.  The tiger is drawn with pink ink and her tail is long enough to fold back and forth beneath her.  At the tip of her tail is a star.  All around her are green plants.

Paperhand Puppet Intervention’s exhibition “Of Wings and Feet” at GreenHill Center for NC Art in Greensboro is fabulous. It runs through June 21. I love their annual shows at the Forest Theater in Chapel Hill every summer.

Donald Trump doesn't understand the importance or value of the arts.

But the students at Equity Arc Pathways Orchestra won't be held down by his attempts to silence their instruments.

Honored to hear them at the @chicagosymphony.bsky.social to kick off the Chicago Youth in Music Festival.
