This week has me feeling so dark. Finishing this piece, "Hunted" for the Best of Hive show in Los Angeles helps me carry on. Art really is healing and a safe place to express yourself. Show opens May 3rd at Hive gallery. #painting #surrealism #art #arctic

The news media sure aint helping. Only PBS bothered to say protests are happening in one small city block and that protesting is legal. I hate what is happening. Portland is lovely. This administration is causing a great deal of trauma

“To Tell Them There It’s Got To” by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye (British) – Oil on canvas / 2013 – The Box (Plymouth, England) #WomenInArt #WomenArtists #WomensArt #FemalePainter #LynetteYiadom-Boakye #Yiadom-Boakye #TheBox #art #artText #artwork #blueskyArt #BlackWoman #OilPainting #WomenPaintingWomen
Born in London to Ghanaian parents, British artist Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s 2013 painting “To Tell Them There It’s Got To” exemplifies her depiction of fictional individuals rendered with the dignity and complexity often denied to Black subjects in European portraiture. Her titles act as poems rather than labels: “an extra mark,” she says, “not an explanation.” 

The phrase “to tell them” implies address and assertion, while “it’s got to” carries urgency or inevitability like an unfinished thought, echoing the figure’s quiet refusal to fully reveal themselves. The ambiguity invites us to ask: Who are they? What is it? That unanswerable tension is central to her art.

We see a solitary Black figure in profile, shoulders turned gently away from us and head inclined toward an unseen light. Deep umber, olive, and graphite tones shape the woman’s smooth skin and softly curling hair, merging into a dark, painterly background. Her turtleneck shirt nearly disappears into the same shadowed palette, but faint strokes at the collar and jaw catch reflected light, suggesting quiet movement and breath. Just the stillness of a person who exists within, not against, darkness is presented. The brushwork alternates between thin, translucent washes and thicker impasto, leaving visible gestures of creation. This intimacy feels private but alive, like a moment caught between thought and turning.

Yiadom-Boakye studied at Central Saint Martins, Falmouth, and the Royal Academy Schools. By the time she painted this work, she had been shortlisted for the Turner Prize and was reshaping the language of contemporary portraiture. Her figures neither narrate nor protest, but they simply are, existing beyond stereotype or demand. The painting is housed at The Box, Plymouth, England (a museum devoted to reimagining British history and amplifying diverse and contemporary voices).

Ok, managed to get days 6 and 7 inked this evening. I wish I had picked a bigger size than A6 The old eyesight is struggling these days 🤣

Day 6 - Pierce
Day 7 - Starfish

#Inktober #Inktober2025 #DoctorWho
An ink drawing on A6 card. For the word prompt, pierce. The moment the 12th Doctor steps from the Tardis to prove Robin Hood was a myth but an arrow speeds past and pierces the Tardis. A pen and marker drawing for the Inktober word prompt Starfish. The 15th Doctor is hanging out of the TARDIS door in deep space. He is stretching out his hand to make contact with a giant alien Starfish. The starfish is reaching out to him too. Many other Starfish float around them in Space.

the sky takes refuge
in your immense silence
the sea hides treasures
deep in your eyes
my hands keep searching
for the shore of you
but find only tides
and this endless pull
of your heart

Finished my paintings for the #postcard show at @brassworksgallery.bsky.social; they will be there in December. I still need to varnish, but I’m happy where they are at. Fun project, but I’m itching to get into something much larger. #goblin #chaoticgood #oilpainting #smallpainting #wip #dnd #osr

This is my 3rd finished postcard for the annual Brassworks gallery postcard show. I was in Seaview WA so I added a baby wolf eel to honor the local nature. The adults are massive and pretty scary looking! All postcards are available 12/13/25 #mermaid #siren #art #painting

Another morning, another comic about being stressed as fuck.
3 panel sketchbook comic of a woman and a cat

Panel 1

Cat: um, you seem to be in some sort of a tailspin

Woman: yeah, I can’t seem to get myself under control

Panel 2

Cat: maybe you should pause, learn to meditate or something

Woman: nah, I’m just going to lean into it & see where it takes me

Panel 3

Cat: you may want to come up with a better plan than that

Woman: stop being so judgmental cat. I’ve got enough to deal with already.
