This started out as a loose face study in my sketchbook. Later I decided to experiment with adding watercolor over it. Then I thrifted a frame that was a little dinged up, and decided to paint the frame to match. Now the frame is part of the art!

I got this jacked up sketchbook with a torn spine from @scrapskc. Collaged over it with junk that was destined for a landfill, and covered the spine with duct tape I also got at ScrapsKC. Now it's cute and usable and won't fall apart!

I know it is hard to look at. I sobbed when I read the news. Imagining my youngest being told by armed people to knock on the door to get people to come out, imagining my oldest coming home to find his parent and brother missing. There are people who don't have the option to look away. This is their reality.

Is this the blood thirsty criminal you were warned about? Is this what the administration promised you? Is this what you expected? Is it safe to trust the government to define who the monsters are? Are they only going after the gang members who are taking your jobs? Are they only going after the criminals? Would they seek out or detain someone who was here legally? Would they use a pre-schooler to get an adult to open a door? Would they let a middle schooler come home to find his brother and father missing? Would your government lie to you? If they did, would you stand up to them?

My second free zine is out now! It's about knowing your rights during police encounters, which is only becoming more important every moment.

You can get digital copies at my website or you can pay what you want for a physical printed copy. This zine is FREE to print, distribute, and give to others. Ideas: Put them in Little Free Libraries/Pantries, give them to friends, give them to strangers, see if your library or other organizations want copies to give out.

I rescued these Converse from a thrift store, then hand-painted them with paint markers, inspired by Starry Night.

Art vs artist. I think this really emphasizes how much my art varies, in both medium and subject matter. From collage to watercolor to markers to murals. From activism to self portraits to cute animals to queer joy to nature. If I did the same thing all the time I'd get so bored! What about you? Do you have a favorite medium or style, or do you like to switch it up?

I know I've been pretty MIA lately. It's not that I'm not doing art, I still am! And it's not that I don't love you all, cuz I do! The truth is... hyperfixations. I've fallen in love with thrifting and it's become my new hyperfixation lately! It started with searching for board games, then Converse, and now so much more! If you're interested in following along with my thrifting journey, I've made a second page called @dorkydinothrifts that you can follow! Don't worry, I'll still post art to this account. But if you have any interest in thrifting, sustainability, and saving things from landfills, you may love the new page too!

Had to try my hand at the Frieren challenge. Started with taking a reference photo and doing a self portrait at the angle, then translated it to an anime style. It's a challenging angle, for sure! Organic shapes can be tough to draw in perspective. Props to SpaceDev1 for the inspiration drawing (after you swipe). It's always worth it to challenge yourself in your art! You'll never improve if you only do what you're comfortable with.
