Good morning! “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.”
Tyler Robinson carved clever “bullet memes” into the shells for his online gaming friends, and then SHOT KIRK, under the vague authority that his family didn’t like him.

Thanks for asking! I don’t like to tell people what to think or feel about a painting. In my experience people’s reactions are very personal. But my intention was to paint a story about a young woman at the end of a really tough night, betrayed, desperate and not sure what direction to move in.
Thanks so much to everyone who has liked, commented and shared! It makes my artist heart happy to see an emotional connection.
That’d be me. Thank you!
Yes I did paint this! Thanks so much ❤️

What’s happening in the US is starting to feel more like a hacking than an election, with Trump basically cast as the idiot who clicked on the phishing email that let the ransomware guys in. Struck by how crucial tech not politics reporters are to us understanding it
