***VIEW DISCRETION ADVISED!*** Today, there was another school shooting. I’m very tired of watching our innocent children die while our country does nothing to protect them. My new piece of art (the second in a series on gun violence) graphically depicts the aftermath of these shootings. I advise anyone who has lost someone to gun violence, especially a child, please be cautious about viewing this piece. I created it in hopes of making blind pro-gun fighters uncomfortable. I’ve heard so many people tell me they don’t give a $*!+ about dying children as long as they can have their guns. If this is true for you, please view this piece and say those words. If you think your gun is more important than those lives, please view this piece and say those words. If you can both view this piece, and say those words, I pray your children never have to live through the fear of going to school and hearing gunfire in the halls. To all who have lost someone to this epidemic, my heart goes out to you. I’m so sorry that nothing is being done to end these heinous and completely preventable crimes. #EndGunViolence#ChildrenAreWorthMoreThanGuns#MarchForOurLives#CommonSenseGunControl#GunRegulation #EnoughIsEnough#TimesUp #ForTheKids #LoveWins#NoMoreBrokenHearts #TheBullet#MamasAintSupposedToBuryTheirKids

About 20 years ago, Columbine happened. With the two shootings this week, I figured this was a good time to release my latest piece of art. The first in a series of mass shootings I’ve been working on. In most countries, this would have been enough to, at the very least, lead to extreme gun reform. In the last 20 years, we’ve seen mass gun violence skyrocket in our country all the while making it easier for these kinds of people to get access to these awful weapons. This piece is boldly titled, “This Should Have Been Enough”. My heart goes out to all of those who are still grappling with the pain of this tragedy. This piece is meant to evoke conversation, not argument. If you are pro-gun, please take a moment to reflect on all of the lives lost by gun violence, and then ask yourself if your gun is more important than their life.

In 1948, congress passed a law making women a permanent part of our #ArmedForces because congress knew that what was between our legs, didn’t determine our courage. This remains true today. @realdonaldtrump continues to rant about how much we need to #RespectOurTroops all the while stabbing them in the back with his #TransgenderMilitaryBan. How is it patriotic to tell the #brave individuals with the utmost #courage that they’re not good enough to serve because of what’s #BetweenTheirLegs? It’s #disgusting it’s #disgraceful and it’s damn well #unamerican. I #SupportOurTroops regardless of how they identify because they’re putting their lives on the line for us. Every. Single. Day. Let’s make some Theirstory! #TransIsBeautiful #TransIsAmerican #art #TheRightSideOfHistory #Theirstory #ArtThatSpeaks P.S. When was it you served our country Mr. President? Oh, right. P.P.S. Please share, let the message be spread that as U.S. Americans, we support our trans military members!

I recently got back into art, inspired by the obnoxious lines outside the new @chickfila that opened up in Burbank I’m extremely disturbed by the message you very openly embrace against the LGBTQ+ (queer) community. I want to be clear, until you have years of proof that you no longer donate to organizations that support conversion therapy AND proof that you’re actively donating to positive Queer causes, you (and your corporation) cannot distance yourself from the hate you perpetuate. It’s not enough to no longer support those causes when you’ve already caused so much pain, hate, and watched the Queer youth suicide rate rise. If you consume their food, know that your money is going to the proven torture of Queer youth in our country. Please, stand up for what’s right, and stop supporting hate. Please share, we need to educate in order to end the hate!
