I live in a city, in a state, where half of the population is Hispanic. When you see a white person, the odds are pretty good that they are mixed-white, with indigenous, Mexican, or hispanic living relatives or ancestors. What can/t we see? What can/t we feel?

Series: Two Right Hands
We each have a hand that is more giving and one that is more receiving; yet neither is more active.
The hand that gives must also receive; the hand that receives gives.
Reach out with whatever hands you have; if you’ve no hands, we feel them even more tenderly.

Hi, friends, known and unknown. This is a series of paintings I did after David Lynch died. His birthday, US inauguration day, MLK Jr. Day--if you knew this week, you might know these paintings. It's been almost five months.
"You've got to get your butt in gear and do it."-David Lynch
Been absolutely devouring this book about Ukranian folklore creatures.
I know how hard its to find good non-fiction about slavic folklore in english so I 100% recommend this one even for just a small window into slavic folklore as a whole if you've been interested in it but unsure about sources.
This series, called, "These Are The Edges," is twelve portraits of people who have changed me. We think of people as people-shaped! Maybe you see someone you know.

Life's a pickle, grow a garden/life's a garden, grow a pickle
I tip m'hats to you, curcubits
Thoughts while working on this:
I ought to put my brain down, sometimes.
Life is barely a breath in cosmic time, yet we feel its force in our lungs.
Wake up and tend to your world.
50 States. 50 Protests. 1 Day.
We’ll see you out there 🤞🏻

I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

This painting is called
Gree! (Remember)
Thoughts I had while painting:
we are beautiful but we can't $ee it
Green green green green oh girl you are a sprout
I don't want babies to lose their mothers, I don't want to lose babies
Loss hurts infinitely because we've known it across lifetimes
All I'm thinking about while I'm painting is sewers and colons but that can't be what these are about, can it?

The image is a painting; on the right are a jumble of cartoonish fingers with inflamed nail beds, coming out from a field of black. On the left are eight circles, either receding back into space or all on the same plane in different sizes.

Photo of a brown and white tabby luxuriating in sleep, on a relaxed person's lap with their person's hand gently resting on top of their head.
Cat is great, cat is the reminder we are all cat, that our resolve in life is to shed, to doff this don and get back to cat.

A poem written by Tabatha that reads This serves as a bridge, is a bridge, a crossing From my tired and/or fumbling fingertips Ten bridges in their metacarpals This bridge invites you to cross the room and pace, if you like. Do what you like, especialyy No, not especially Don!t not Stop8888888 A bridge is a craft, We lack mastery and We try to build anyhow
Noting: the Internet is being taffypulled into new forms, hesitance in seeking new forms of seeking. zuckless, muskless, tireless, dog at my feet and my best friend roasts the best coffee. Attached, a letter I wrote for you.
