many men and women were hanged in 1693 as a result of the Salem Witch Trials. The site they were hanged at is called "Proctor's Hill" and there is a memorial there. This is a painting I did last year called "entrance to Proctor's Hill" 24" x 36" oil pigment sticks on linen

He was a terrible and evil person whose life should not be celebrated

craig robertson @craiglee47.bsky.social · 6h

I’ll consider that an odd but acceptable compliment.

Yes, he did. He officiated over the famous Salem Witch trials that ended in many "witches" being hung.

The Witch House was once the home of Witch Trials Judge Jonathan Corwin. It's a fifteen minute walk from my studio.

even tho I know this story, it still makes me furious.

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 2d

Whenever men claim men invented & created everything, I think about the countless stories of women whose labor was stolen & erased by men.

this is heartbreaking

Derik the Selfish Man @deriktheselfishman.bsky.social · 3d

My daughter was talking to my wife and I about lockdown drills at her school, and at one point she said

"It's like a game of hide and seek, but you can only play once if you die."

This broke my heart. We live in a sick society, and I dont know if their is a cure.

#printsky #printmaking #reductionlinocut Nine color reduction print finally complete. I wonder what my next project will be...

craig robertson @craiglee47.bsky.social · 2d

yes, so have I (from Atlas Obscura) "The doors were designed by sculptor Henry Wilson and feature ten panels telling the story of the origins of tea. They depict scenes including Ceylonese famers harvesting, sorting and drying tea leaves, workers transporting tea boxes on their heads,etc.."
