Greta Thunberg has been detained in an Israeli cell infested with bedbugs and supplied with insufficient food and water, according to activists:
"They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others."

if they do this to a public person, think about what they do to the ones we don't hear about

A UN commission of inquiry concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. By proxy, the U.S. is also beyond complicit in the genocide in Gaza through its support, funding, shielding, & active involvement with Israel. Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Also been in a rut this year. Between some life stuff and the state of the world, I just can’t. Only done stuff I’ve been paid to because I can’t say no, but no personal work. Anyway, your stuff is great, I feel anyone hired by the big companies is top tier.

He was my teacher at school. I remember he gave us the hard truth. Said most of us will not become professional artists, and he was right. At least speaking for myself and those I still see online.

Israel murdered Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues because genocide can only proceed without witnesses. Western media outlets have failed to condemn the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists, and in the process have become accomplices.

I took part in #tekenuurtje2023 with this photo for Digismith by Jaime Cabrera Huidobro. I forgot it was supposed to be an hour, took me way longer. Went for an ukiyo-e and Mœbius look.

It’s campaign season again and this is what I see on a daily basis in my city. Look everything else I’m reposting, this is old. We no longer have party voting columns like this. #art #vote #campaign #watercolor While I’m at, vote Zohran Mamdani. Don’t rank Cuomo #nycmayor #nycelection

A watercolor and pen, painting of the Colombian mythological figure “El Mohan” in Jersey City, New Jersey, Lorraine, two women into the Hackensack River

One of favorites. Most of my paintings are realistic but sometimes I’ll do one where I insert Colombian mythological or folkloric figures into my US hood. This is El Mohan, I made him a little more Jason Mamoa than how he’s traditionally depicted. #art #watercolor #jerseycity #nj #Colombia #elmohan

Pen and watercolor painting of a car flipped over in Union City, New Jersey

In following HudPost, I saw a lot of overturned cars so I decided to paint one of my own #carflipchallenge I was embarrassed cause I based one officer on a real one I know, I just changed him for the worse. Turns out I didn’t go far enough in the changes and he found out 😐 #art #watercolor

Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza. Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

Drew myself a while ago. Wanted to capture some of the stress I get when I art. I don’t know how people have fun doing this. Maybe you need to get over that line, where you don’t make mistakes and things come out like u envisioned them,but that requires lots of practice which I don’t do anymore #art

I can’t see how in all that time you couldn’t spare a few minutes to condemn a right wing racist government that is currently ethnicity cleansing part of their population. Instead you support said government 🎗️

Here’s another oldie. I have mixed feelings on this one. Like the subject matter and technique but something feels off. Maybe bad composition or not enough contrast. Not sure.
