Deck the halls with bold resistance.
Hi I am an artist but I don’t have it in me to sell things in a world where I’m competing with AI. I think competition is fundamentally anti-artist. I’m exhausted.
Here’s a video of one of my pieces called “Joyful Diversity”.

Disability tax:
I can’t change a flat tire. My hands can’t do it. My lungs can’t do it. My heart can’t do it.
By which I mean *maybe* I could do it, but then I couldn’t work tomorrow and Tuesday and would in fact lose money for trying.
I have to pay to have a car towed.

I geared up for today’s #NoKings because I have a compromised immune system. I was pointed out once as “over the top” because they thought I was worried about tear gas.
Nope, just about 1k ppl around me not wearing masks, Long Covid, the flu, and trying to normalize #disability.

Royalty visited today. Indigenous representation was present on site… symbolically.
A flag of the Sami people and a land acknowledgement of the tribes who once cared for this land and were betrayed isn’t enough, but it isn’t nothing.
the remarks never touched on current immigration. A shame.

2024: my image was part of a project that highlighted National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
The project stretched into this year when I talked with the company’s ERG about working as an autistic artist with chronic illness & pain. I’m proud of it.
Will NDEAM exist in 2026? #disability

Yayoi Kusama inspired kitchen mural on a wall soon to host open shelves and the kitchen table.
No windows in my kitchen and very little natural light reaches across my eastern exposure living space. I have been attempting to make my apartment vibrant before winter.
Autistic joy from color.

This is still in the early stages and measures at something like 2.5ft by 4ft. It’s the darkest thing I’ve worked on in a while and it can’t be ignored.

It’s really hard to keep reaching out to senators and representatives in red states. These responses are soul crushing.

“Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world”
All I keep hearing are those ominous notes after this chorus.

Sometimes you just have to clear your head and heal your heart by drawing a fairy.
The act of doodling is a definite stim for me and so is looking at high contrast color palettes. Hence, this.

My rent has gone up by 15% in 3 years.
My pay has increased by 3%.
I have a feeling that within 2 years they are looking to increase the rent by 27% from my original lease.
No updates in my apartment. I am financing the updates they make to other apts where they will charge new tenants more.

Been a long time since I’ve had it in me to work on this.
When I started it I had intended the red to be vibrant and life giving. For months it was black and white on green.
Today I added the red and it was fascism as well as blood and it was love. It was complicated. It was therapy. It is #art.

Apropos of nothing(/s), I’m revisiting “Everything Is Illuminated” today.
Enjoyed the book, although it often made me uncomfortable. Enjoyed the film when it came out, but mostly for the soundtrack. Alex’s journey is more profound than JSF’s trip. Toxic masc. abounds. More magical realism needed.

I am taking suggestions for what Godzilla will be destroying.

Everything in the world is complicated and confusing.
But I love the style of illustrated fairytales from the mid 20th century and can try to make protest art that replicates them. At least then I can find some comfort as I struggle.

Godzilla continues to grow bit by bit.
I’ve never worked in this method before so it’s completely imperfect and I’m loving the inadequacy of it because AI-COULD-NEVER… and as a digital artist (by in large), that’s not something I can say much now.
