""A.I makes art accessible"

Beethoven was deaf
Stevie Wonder was blind
Van Gogh painted stary night in a mental health hospital.
Pierre-augustine had arthritis
Frida khalo was born with Spina bifida, contracted polio and sustained lifelong injuries from a car accident.

I beg to differ.

I'm feeling very dooms day here with everything that is happening in our government. It's activating the paranoia facet of my OCD and triggering my anxiety/agoraphobia. 😮‍💨

PEOPLE CANNOT BE ILLEGAL.
PEOPLE CANNOT BE ILLEGAL.
PEOPLE CANNOT BE ILLEGAL.

I seem to have fallen off that wave of creativity in March which is a bit of a bummer. For now back to basics #art #artblock #naptime

It breaks my heart when I see a small artist who is doing great art but people are only giving likes. C'mon guys, please click that share button for them, they deserve to have their work seen by a larger audience, if you like it, someone following you will probably like it too! So please, share it 💜

Confetti Stage Presents: Rehearsal for Murder (Play) Feb 28- March 9 Thurs-Sat times: 7:30 pm Sun: 2 pm Albany Masonic Temple 67 Corning Place, Albany

The Art Department NY vending table set up at the Albany Masonic Temple for Confetti Stage Presenting: Rehearsal for Murder.

I'm really excited for Confetti Stage's show Rehearsal for Murder tonight. I'm all set up with my wares ready.

I'll be here at the Masonic Temple in Albany friday-sunday this week and Thursday-sunday next week! #art #communitytheater

I know the weather warming up doesn't help but keep in mind the more we don't spend the more desperate they become.

If you're really itching to get out and do things today spend time in the community and with small owned businesses. I'll be spending my time at Confetti Stage. #resistance

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Also on view tonight at @bearandbird.bsky.social in downtown Schenectady for their All In Local Artist Showcase is this painting. I'll be hanging out there too tonight!

I'm so excited this is on view at the Mohawk Valley Art Shop in downtown Schenectady for Art Night. I'll be there tonight to chat and hangout #art #artexhibit #schenectady #upstateNY
