#EmilyMcDermott's article on AI in art struck a topic close to my work in AI ethics.

"Good Trouble"

When does patriotism become insurrection?

Here’s where the line is drawn:

If the intention is expression of rights, not the suppression of others’—
If the goal is to expand freedom, not hoard it—
Then it’s not rebellion.
It’s responsibility. It's civic duty
It’s Good Trouble.

#TheRisingTide
This #diptych measures 86X68 and consists of a 54X68 and 34X68 custom oak stretcher bars.

The Rising Tide speaks to the fable that a rising tide lifts all boats. But what does it look like to those who don't have a boat, or those who are anchored.

#ASpaceBetween
When we talk about mental health, we often hear about the harm, and detriment.
I wanted to tip that narrative and highlight the beauty that resides inside.
This work is the excess paint of other works, but as I layered more colors, I saw there was a beauty to the chaos.

"A Space Between."
I painted this with primary colors as anchors and used other colors to file the space between them.

I've consulted with CHATg in various ways regarding, #artskill, #technique, #artisticstyle, and #color.
I've done this enough that when asked what it knew about me, it gave this response.

#Ferrari #BigFive is the #Bigsix. From dawn to propulsion—Ferrari’s greatest supercars told in light and pigment.
The #Enzo rises in royal purple.
The #LaFerrari hums with hybrid silver.
The #F80 explodes in ice-blue streaks of velocity.”

#ArtistStatement
🇺🇸 Good Trouble 🇺🇸 is my love letter to America.
She is not perfect—nor am I—but she is worth fighting for.
It can hang either way—because history will decide which side we are on.

A special shout out to those at @monochromesapiens.bsky.social for the idea to take this oil on canvas of #shoheiohtani into a new perspective.

I love what it did to the sky. Thoughts?
