There was a lot of distressing news today. I'd like to say this with my whole chest. Trans lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. Trans men are men and trans women are women. I see you, friends.

I wasn't sure what to paint today but I have been missing community for a while and it's extra slow without TikTok. (I deleted it because I don't trust it's "return") Imagine what we could do together. Watercolor background and a single(ish) line drawing.

Drill, baby, drill - I guess. This is what I was feeling today. Things are starting our pretty rough.

Today I thought pizza would be fun to paint. This one is called "Share the Pie". Imagine what we could do if we remembered there is enough for everyone if we don't horde resources.

This one is "the price of eggs". I was thinking about how some made their vote based on grocery prices and I wonder if the cost is worth it.

I’m very fond of cardinals due to a core memory from my childhood. This, less than great, painting got me studying them a bit more. Birds are pretty cool.

Since I was feeling a little discouraged yesterday, I thought I would do something a little more comfortable and created a cat dragon stamp. Memo - I love cats and dragons. Block carving g print altered with watercolor. This was the test print. I'm pretty happy with it.

I was trying to figure out what to paint today - I think the hardest thing about this challenge is deciding what to paint every day. Here’s an attempt of painting my offspring.

To be frank, I didn't spend a ton of time on this. Similarities to real individuals are merely coincidental. I call this, "The Puppet" If I could have included the harm the puppet will cause I would have.
