A few surface patterns and drawings I created in 2024. The bottom row of images started out as gelli plate prints. I was unhappy how they turned out so I drew on top of them using colored pencils and ink.

63% of Americans did not know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
They undoubtedly know little of the shocking conditions of the ghettos, restricted travel, the violence, the torture, death camps & the fact that Trump is following Hitler's playbook.

This is some scary shit—and everyone needs to pay attention because it could affect any one of us.
Rachel Maddow & NPR just blew the lid off Musk’s DOGE team. A whistleblower at the NLRB says they accessed data without authorization and breached security.
The potential motive is pretty shocking.

Car prices will go up $6,000 (per abc news) because of Trump’s tariffs!
And, he lied to our face. I watched his press conference. He said egg prices were 50 cents and gas below $3 a gallon.
I think he meant eggs were 50 cents for one and gas just went over $3 a gal.

America, you f**ked up!
She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.
Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.
