WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THESE MOTHERFUCKERS IN CONGRESS THAT THEY HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS TO FIX THIS WEEK THAN RESTRICTING WOMEN’S ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING LATE TERM ABORTIONS, KTHXBYE

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I have been working constantly for a few weeks on restoring a vintage travel trailer that I plan on living in most of the year. Reprints of a postcard for my etsy shop. Finally got a good inkjet printer.

Law enforcement’s complicity in the affairs of right-wing insurgents overlapped with dangerous developments on the right. Throughout the 1970s, the Klan grew closer to neo-Nazi groups in both ideology and strategy. While earlier iterations of the Klan had fashioned themselves as defenders of an old world order, the new Klan had a more expansive vision — one that anticipated the ideology of the alt-right today. More than keeping blacks or Jews “in their place” through violence, the new Klan channeled the Nazi idea of an Aryan ethnostate, purged of all enemies. And it upped its commitment to militarism. The newly merged neo-Nazi and Klan groups stockpiled weapons, studied torture techniques and declared the U.S. government as well as African Americans, Jews, gays and lesbians and leftists as enemies of their white nationalist fantasies.

Small plates that are almost ready to be printed. I had to carve the moon a second time; the first plate was backwards😳

Believe it or not I've actually been working a lot. This just happens to be the best photograph of the day. More posts soon.

Deer mouse and weasel.

Drawing of a weasel. He is probably going to be joined by a mouse to form a predator/prey image. Have you ever read Living Like Weasels by Annie Dillard?

Hi there. Sorry it's been a while. Here is a section of a drawing that was done with a Rotring Isograph. It's the first one I've ever bought. I might be drawing too tight, but it was worth a try. #drawing #penandink #rotring #isograph #wasps #carivorousplant #pitcherplant #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr

The Academy of Natural Sciences has a butterfly room. I went down there then back to work way to quick. Next time I plan to stay a little longer and plan in some rest time. It was worth it though.

Poison dart frogs at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia. I went to explore Philadelphia for the first time.

Rusty patched bumblebee ready for it's first test print. It's an endangered species no matter what Trump thinks. I went too far with one of my plates last week and screwed it up, so I stepped away from the entire group of them. I should have actual prints by the end of this week. #rustypatchedbumblebee #endangeredspecies #linoprint #linocut #printmaking #prints #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram
