The thing I hate most about America right now is how being stupid and cruel has been valorized.

Anyway, here's some art.

"Turn It Into Books" 11" x 14" x 2" Mixed media on yupo mounted on panel. Available at my Saatchi page. Link in bio.

An idea from a few years ago that I probably should revisit. 24" x 18" Acrylic and pencil on joint compound.

Maybe I'll even start back in on this one itself.

"Thanksgiving" 11.7" x 8.3" mixed media on Yupo.
Thoughts?

While I try to focus on the present, and remember the concept of impermanence, today I'll lean on making art - or the appreciation of aesthetics - which is the only thing that will always have meaning for me. #art #abstractart

A view of some art on the table. It's time we took things seriously.

"Corpus Christi" 8.3" x 11.7" mixed media on Yupo. Stormy, like 2025

Here are some rules for Bluesky ... (I get a kick out of the struggles visual AI has with words. No offense intended, no support nor disavowal of AI implied. It's a joke, people!)

Thanks! It is a detail, which I should have mentioned. Here's the whole piece.
