A painting of the side view of a woman's face and shoulder looking out over a field of gold under a sky of blue. Her hair is auburn and her eyes are green. She wears a white dress. The paint strokes are visible and intentional, directing the movement of your eye around the painting.

A gorgeous painting found in the little free library today!

The sun shining through four sheets of handmade paper hanging on an outside line held up by wooden clothespins. The paper is slightly tan in tone with brownish specs.

Sunday morning hanging the handmade paper out to dry vibe.
Still relearning the art of pulling an even sheet from the vat.

The little free library which is bright peach inside and sage green outside with California poppies is open and bursting full of art. There's a Tunisian color work hanging of a bear, a blue ceramic candle holder, a print of a fish human doing a backend and chest stand, two colorful paper craft insects, a colored pencil drawing of an orange creature against a mottled blue sky and green ground, a friendship bracelet making kit, and some lovely embroidery thread.

The little free library is full to the eaves! Including some lovely pottery and prints by local artists!! Thank you to everyone who makes the library so special. ❤️

A block print in black ink of a fish person hybrid doing a chest stand with their legs bent over their head. They have a fish head and mostly human body with gills on their legs and back. They are smiling.

A little print I made for the little free art library! #blockprinting #artoftheday

The image shows a mosaic artwork embedded in a pothole on a street. The mosaic depicts two figures sitting at a table, with a blue background behind the man and a yellow background behind the woman. The man is wearing a blue shirt and a hat, while the woman is wearing a red dress. The table is represented by red tiles, and there are various objects on it, including a green bottle and a blue cup. The surrounding area includes a parking lot with several cars, including a black Nissan and a white car, and a sidewalk with trees in the background. The street has a white line marking the edge of the parking lot. The mosaic is surrounded by a rough, beige-colored border, indicating the pothole's edge.

The little free library which is sage green outside and bright peach inside. It's full of art! There's a picture of a big black cat on a blue background, a Tunisian hanging graphgan of leaves on a teal background, sage wrapped in brightly colored yarn, a zine with a poppy on the cover, a rainbow colored fabric patch that says "queer" with barbed wire around it in a heart, a trans pride heart punch needle pin, and lots more stuff.

A mottled dark teal, purple, and black background with a big, curvy angel with patterned wings and a halo.

A person with brown skin is wearing an inflatable but not inflated nylon costume with a swimsuit and ruffly tutu on it and a crown with small white flowers on branches stuck in over their ears so it looks like long flowing hair sits in front of a large agave plant. One white dog lays on the ground beside them and a tan dog stands there. There's a tree and a birdbath and a yellow flower sticks just into the bottom of the frame.

A small origami box made of rainbow colored paper. It has a lid that you can take off.

I'm disabled and have limited energy so this week I let the library get pretty empty. Today when I went out to fill it, it was already full of beautiful, fascinating things. Thank you lovely humans, whoever you are!!! You made my week and maybe also cry 😭❤️❤️❤️

An inside view of a corner of the little free art library which is painted bright peach inside. On a small gold shelf, there's a beautiful abstract painting in grey, blue, white, and peach framed in light wood and in front of it rests a crocheted bookmark in the shape of a flower. You can see three fabric prints - "queer" in barbed wire on a rainbow fabric, "we keep each other safe" on black and a Luna moth. There's a tiny watercolor of the sky, a zine called "ambulent" and another called "arboreal nightmares". There are three punch needle pins - a dripping purple eye, a trans pride heart, and a raven silhouette in a blue circle.

Little arts!

The inside of the little free art library which is painted bright peach. On a small gold shelf, there's an abstract grey, blue, and peach painting in a wooden frame. There's a large painting of a big black cat against a vibrant blue sky. There's an old wood box full of old postcards and a tiny watercolor painting of a matcha tea. There's a bunch of block prints on fabric - one says "we keep each other safe", another has a Luna moth, and another says "abortion access saves lives". Hanging from the top is a punch needle piece which says "cutie". Come touch our art if you like!

The art never quits at the little free art library

A digital drawing showing a sparrow and a pigeon sitting next to each other, half turned towards their conversation partner. The sparrow has a little red mp3 player hanging from its neck with earbuds going approximately to where his ears would be. The pigeon is wearing large round glasses and has a yellow camera with a large lense around its neck.

These two city dwellers are exchanging the latest news 🐦

The little free art library with its door open revealing a peach painted interior full of goodies. There are 3 visible Tunisian crochet color work wall hangings - one is purple with a pill bottle containing a smiley face, there's a teal green and peach snail on a brown background, and a possum on a variegated light blue background. A few craft kits in plastic bags lean against the walls, colorful zines are all over - in piles, on small easels, and in an organizer in the corner. You can see a pile of coloring pages with a set of markers, coloring pencils, and glitter pens.

Little art library restock! We have Tunisian crochet wall hangings, coloring pages, lots of cool zones, a few air dry clay and weaving craft kits, and a few other bits and bobs!

A Tunisian color work crochet hanging piece of a bumblebee on a purple background. It has a gold trim and three strands of honey colored beads hanging from the bottom. The back, which you can't see, is also gold and has a honeycomb pattern.

A sweet little bumblebee Tunisian crochet color work has made its way into the little free library!

A little crochet chick that is a perfect ball. It's body is a variegated blue wool yarn and it's beak and feet are a dark terracotta red. It's comb is peachy pink and he has two black plastic eyes. You are welcome to touch anything in the library!

A silly little chick is waiting for you in the little free art library!

The little free library with its front door open. Inside is lots of art, a few books, and loads of zines. There's a silly crocheted pigeon, an abstract blue and white painting that evokes the ocean, a watercolor of a skull with a gold halo on a blue sky with clouds and grass below, some abstract salt watercolors, a rock painted with a beach scene and two woven pieces - a purple and blue piece with a bow and a teal and rainbow speckled book mark with a big fringe on the top and bottom. There are some crocheted tapestries: a rainbow and teal t-rex, a black scorpion on hot pink background with a dripping bead from its tail, a flying pig on a sparkly blue background, and a sparkly white goat on a blue background with peach flowers.

I absolutely love coming out and seeing how other people are taking care of the library. Someone brought these little easels and it's so cute 😭❤️

So proud of my neighborhood for chasing ICE away 🙌

A reminder that it wasn't that long ago.

🧵 When I draw I find that the more I love the subject matter, the more the drawing sings. For me, it’s that authentic emotion that matters in my artworks, as you can see this thread [1]

Nothing is easy about being trans, and it really should be.

It's not that complicated, but everyone else makes it about themselves, which makes it more difficult to simply live and be happy.

Whether that means social, legal, or medical changes, it doesn't have to be that difficult.

Something I think most minorities and radicals understand which most centrists don't is that conservatives fundamentally believe that all the suffering in the world is inevitable.

They see life as a zero sum game; 'those people' must suffer so that they can maintain their level of comfort.

At this point the entire wellness industry is just fear, wrapped in pseudoscience, paving the path to fascism, painted beige.

The current media ecosystem is really bad at handling liars. Elon Musk is not an authentic advocate against government spending. He literally just wasted more money than he cut and those cuts were illegal and immoral to the tune of killing hundreds of thousands of children

I'm purchasing some zines and also printing some free ones for the little free library. If you have any good zine recommendations, send them my way!
