In the digital creative mix The better side of phone tech...

Smart phones make it so easy to be recklessly creative when you can’t fall asleep at night or are up too early in the morning…

Yes, one of the best ways to combat creative blocks is to make more work.

Different year, different tactics, same power grabs by the right. Ministry’s β€œNWO” (New World Order) from β€˜92 remains relevant…

Tim McFarlane Studio: March 2025 When paintings find good homes, last-minute opportunities and weird things start showing up in the studio work...

Artists don’t always know how deeply their work has affected collectors. But when they do share those sentiments, even years later, it can be just the reassurance you need to keep going. That and more is in my latest email, sent out yesterday to subscribers🎨🎨🎨

This is a piece of artwork that depicts a big blue jack rabbit with speech bubbles saying β€œI stand with Ukraine and β€œPower to the people.” The background has blue on the top half and yellow on the bottom half to represent the Ukrainian flag. There is a silhouette of a sunflower on the right hand side. Artwork is by Martha Rich.

Made this on the train to nyc. trump and anyone enabling him is a traitor to democracy and this country. (FYI I’m working on more stuff in between the work I do to pay the bills.)

Work table from last week. Just thinking out loud about new possibilities in the work, research. I feel like these may become collage materials, that’s what’s been coming up for me internally since I made them.

[rewind] We Dance To Pray, 2013, acrylic on drywall, 9 x 13 feet
Part of my 2013 exhibition, Presence, at the Bridgette Mayer Gallery (Philadelphia, PA). I wanted to do something different with this wall space instead of putting another painting on it. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/timmcfar...

The right has united around a rejection of government as the solution to social problems. Which means they can generally agree to block new policies and programs. The left is united in its desire for government solutions. But that means they have to face the harder task of agreeing on what to do. 1/

Right. As far as I can tell no one in the Trump administration so much as lifted a finger about these exhibits. Instead the OAS preemptively canceled the shows for fear that the US might penalize the OAS for showing art by Black or queer artists. That's censorship as soft power
