Learn a complex mono-printing technique as simply as possible. Might be too much for my limited patience and attention span.
Loving the sides of this painting. Since they are hanging so high up the wall; the bottom edge is highly visible.
Evergreen request that transcends generations.
Really big floral painting (4ftx5ft) for our home. Used a giant snippet roll for the vase. #abstractfloral #art #fingerpainting

"It's an entire political ad, from a major Democratic politician, that is exclusively defending trans rights. Has this ever happened before?"

This is amazing.
I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Cleaned out my little flower garden for the year and made mono prints of the last seed pods on exam paper. These will bring a nice memory with them when I am making art over the winter. #gelliarts #gelliprint #gelliplate #botanicalprint #seedpods #exampaper

Superman was so good. 10/10 and very on point for this moment.
I’m so glad you scared this cowardly PoS and I hate that it happened.

I am so sorry that happened 💖

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."
Section 5 Point 10 is a doozy.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

I was just thinking about him this morning.
In case anyone was curious about the Kuretake Granulating Watercolors I just swatched them. I really love how they react with each other (bottom right) and I can see using the Aurora Orange all the time as a fancy brown. Ditto for the blue. And the vividness of the violet cannot be overstated.
