Done. My newest painting SUMMER STORM is complete. Let me know what you think? 🤔

“From the depths” by William Balfour-Ker. A lavish party of the wealth is interrupted by an upraised fist breaking through their dance floor; underneath we can see the entire party venue is built on the shoulders of the marginalized and lower classes.

I <should> watch this so I can improve - but after a run of public speeches I'll need a few months before I can bear the sound of my own voice again

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Black and white abstract scratchboard drawing, vaguely resembling a landscape, digitally manipulated to add illegible handwritten text to create texture in the upper 3/4 of the canvas. The bottom is dark gray with black scribbling. Noise has been added to give it a grainy quality.

Close up of the torsos of two female nudes. The one behind (in purple) is lying on her back with one hand draped over her ribcage and the contours of stomach muscles and navel. The one in front (in pink and peachy tones) is lying on her side with her arm bent and one breast visible.

We all need a place where we feel safe…

Goodnight everybody. Sweet dreams.

A qualia clusterscape produced during a lucid dreaming session. The composite visualization features various symbols and shapes grouped by theme and arranged by shared emotional tropism. Color has been eliminated in this example to enhance contrast, highlighting the interplay of texture and form traced by the theme within the dreams narrative. All labels are intentionally asemic to reduce bias artifacting. A black and white composite image depicting various hiding places. The image features a partially open door, a window with a curtain, a stack of boxes, and a small alcove. There are also abstract shapes resembling closets and under-stair spaces. Textures suggest rough surfaces and shadows, creating a sense of depth and concealment. Asemic labels, resembling indecipherable writing, are scattered throughout the composition. The overall composition evokes a fragmented impression of secretive spaces where one might hide.

The background is white glaze over a mostly blue background. On the left, a dark blue shape with red accents connects with a blue trail, suggesting skid marks behind a a vehicle. On the right, there is a red oval around a blue patch of underpainting with a larger form underneath it in red, yellow, and blue. Both are connected to the form on the left with broken lines. Composition was made by selective glazing.

Goodnight, friends.

I love you.

Loss aversion: The psychological pain of losing is twice as powerful as the satisfaction we feel from gaining. We often make decisions to avoid a potential loss rather than to achieve an equivalent gain.

It started life as a dropcloth, then as a backdrop. Red dominates a battle with green, yellow, and blue. The conflict is framed in a red glaze on the top and right sides and a white glaze on the left. The midground is composed of drips, smears, and incidental marks.
