Hi #PortfolioDay
I'm afflicted with the multidisciplinary artist syndrome, meaning I can't quite focus on one or two types of media, which apparently is not the best career move. I love music, illustration, painting, directing, and photography.
For more of my work, please follow the link to martu.me

Photograph of a young, white woman dressed in a cream colored dress, white tulle veil, and a silver leaf crown. Surrounded by floating round white candles, she herself is looking down at a round candle in her hand, the color of a honey crisp apple.

Digital painting of a beaten up Miles Morales from the Spider-Man Miles Morales video game. He is wearing his suit but the mask is off, revealing bruises and cuts on his tired face, looking to the side. The whole frame is generally dark, the only pop of color is the red in his suit.

colorful collage, with a painted light blue background. it features bright colored bubble lettering with bold red outlines, filled with various colors and ornamentation, all of it surrounded by cut out white flowers with red centers. the writing spells out "WHAT IF THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS". the first four words are filled with solid colors like yellow, blue, green, and yellow, while the remaining four words each have a unique colorful design on a white background. the collage is photographed in contrasty morning light with a shadow of a plant through the middle

photomontage (drawing over a photo). a tall, alien creature with lanky legs and a very short torso doubling as a head, stands in the middle of a curved, wet road in a dark, foggy forest. she is backlit by a golden light, her body matches the colors of the forest. her eyes emit a warm, orange glow.

let's stop pretending that this isn't an easy word to mispronounce and maybe focus on the fact that he's sharing damaging info and furthering the narrative that autism is a side effect rather than a genetically inherited neurotype.

I'm peeved that most of the discourse online around the whole acetaminophen thing concentrates on Trump's botched pronunciation of the word rather than the fact that he lied about it causing autism. English is my second language, I have mispronounced that word a lot too.

Adobe Acrobat is the worst software ever developed and somehow keeps getting worse with every update. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

One of the first needle felted friends I made. She makes me smile every time I look at her.

I found this tiny hat at a yard sale and just had to make a little fella to wear it.
I took this photo during a camping trip in Sequoia National Park a few weeks ago.
May we all have the privilege to find solace in nature during these times.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Stay safe, protect your neighbors

They’re being disappeared

On the news just now, I heard a young man tell of how he and his girlfriend were at Home Depot this morning when ICE came. They ripped her out of his arms. He yelled out that she is American born. But that wasn't why they grabbed her. The boyfriend said that when they came for her, they said "get the one with the phone." She had been recording them.
Our sheriff deputies and police officers, (and soon OUR National Guard) are protecting and serving a group of kidnappers as if our constitution doesn't exist. These people are being disappeared. I can't imagine my loved one being ripped out of my arms like that, knowing I may never see them again. I can't wrap my head around this. I can't believe our leaders are so impotent and gutless. I can't believe we are the ones who have to lay OUR bodies on the line and not the men and women who train to fight in our name. I can't stop thinking about that young woman and how scared she must be right now - and everyone else in detention and their families. Our coward leaders did this to them and they're leaving it up to us to keep fighting. Fuck this timeline.

"I feel devastated for the younger generation – it’s taking all the creative jobs."

Yup. Just as we creatives warned. There was never any doubt, just as there's no doubt giant corporations will illegally plunder our work, and hide behind their legion of lawyers.
