I’m Rice, I do mixed media illustrations. You can see more of my art on my site riceballartist.com
Do not have enough time to sleep to be able to take my meds. So I’m sitting here trying to convince my brain i’m safe

I’m studying accounting and I don’t understand how finance bros are conservative. Billionaires are an obvious problem and I do not understand the people with this knowledge base that do not see it

Am I spoiled by artist grade colored pencils or are crayola pencils just not good anymore? I’m just coloring in a coloring book I didn’t think it would matter

If I think about my mixed media work in terms of glazing the color might get easier or just make a little more sense when I plan layers

New Yorkers, you gotta elect Zohran Mamdani today.

We can't keep being the country that elects uncaring murderous rich sex pests into office then wondering why everything is bad

You must not let moneyed interests and apathy continue to destroy our futures. Vote today, then do even more tomorrow
Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people.

I believe people will win.

This man is the lead of the next Marvel movie, appearing in the next Avengers flick, one of the leads of a major HBO series, and is The Mandalorian and when every Hollywood PR hack would go "HEY PEDRO BABY SHHH ABOUT THE TRANS STUFF" he won't shut up and I will love him for it forever

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Deploying the National Guard—over the objections of state leaders and local law enforcement—is a dangerous escalation.

This isn’t about enforcing law and order, it’s about seizing power and control. Americans won’t tolerate this slide into authoritarianism.

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now.

This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence.

Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

This rules and is also one of the best things to do because the more absurd you can make any of the ridiculous claims of MIGRANT RIOTS seem the better. Hard to sell that narrative when theres dozens of videos like this one showing the actual demonstrators and their methods.

Watched a youtube video about an oil painting class and it finally clicked what they tried to teach us in highschool. It was underpainting. They explained it so poorly though. They didn’t emphasize fat of learn or the importance of semi transparent layers…

NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning.

This will create “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist”, researcher Harry Barbee says.
