Put the light out. | Turn the light on.

I started this painting about this time last year, finished it a couple months ago, and then promptly forgot to post it. WHOOPS.

Anyway. Awhile ago I was hit by the similar but opposing natures of fire towers and lighthouses, and I wanted to explore that more. Both lonely, out of the way stations worked in isolation in sometimes extreme conditions, both tasked with protecting large swathes of people they will never meet or probably even see. Yet one is about spotting light in the distance and putting it out, while the other is about turning on the light within and shining it out.

I'm doing a special run of prints of this illustration on high quality poster canvas paper, at multiple sizes and starting at just $10usd, to help with the fact that I've been caught in the government hiring freeze, so I'm not sure when I'll be back to work at my day job at this point.

You can pre-order a print here.

your trauma is not an excuse to mistreat others

i think it's so interesting that the common theme or trope is parents being disappointed in their kids when most of them let down their children in extremely damaging and harmful ways yet feel entitled to a child who is everything they ever dreamed of!!! girl you made them exist and then fucked them up GET REAL!!! you ARE the disappointment!!!

For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, then, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that middle-class home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies”’ dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.

been doing a LOT of analog note-taking / journaling / planning lately (new years' resolution fulfilled! yes!), and I've slowly but surely started writing mostly in cursive again.

that said, I'm old (almost 35, ew) so I have questions.

when you're writing on paper, you use...

cursive pretty much ALWAYS

MOSTLY cursive

roughly equal cursive / printing

MOSTLY printing

printing pretty much ALWAYS

what's cursive?

what's paper?

if you want to RB this and put you age / locale / whatever else you think is relevant in the tags, that'd be very cool

*i know that a lot of these aren’t just due to one gene but are a complex interplay of several genes, epigenetic factors, and environmental factors, but we are playing pretend here
