The most startling moment upon seeing my image taken and reproduced back at me at the Whitney was comparing the planes scale to my own body. The child sized sneakers mirroring my own shoes (also bought in the children's section) was very surreal. I would have loved to reach out my hands to touch hers and hold her fingers in mine, I bet our palms would have matched. As I've been saying, I don't hate the little plane, I don't think that's fair. I hate how fan art and specifically Anthro planes with whom I identify with personally, are collected and exhibited as if they are in a "cabinet of curiosities" by male identifying artists who do not even subscribe or identify with the furry or Anthro community. I am the most angry that this Mary Jane Anthro Plane is so clearly a rip off of my original character creation (see my video "MBD: Origin Story" on my Vimeo) Anthro planes are becoming over saturated without the original creators being given due credit. Besides @ajaygkurian artist @jonrafman has also used imagery of Anthro planes without giving credit or paying tribute to the original creators. .

"Royal Families (Curves, Points and Little Ones)" 2003 oil on canvas by Jo Baer (b. 1929) at @whitneymuseum the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York as part of the Whitney Biennial 2017. Written near the painting: In her more than sixty years as a painter, Jo Baer has engaged with many different styles and movements with declaring allegiance to any of them. Her series "In the Land of the Giants," begun in 2009, developed from her research into the Hurlstone, a prehistoric megalith in County Louth, Ireland. Baer sourced some of her imagery—which includes giants, human figures, animals, classical statuary, and landscapes—on the internet and then developed the works' palette and compositions with digital software and colored pencil. By combining remnants of ancient cultures with fragments of the contemporary world, Baer unites her subjects with her own sense of "deep time" in which fantasy and reality blur wile the past and present intermingle. #jobaer #whitneymuseum #whitneybiennial2017 #dailyritual #whitneybiennialweek (at Whitney Museum of American Art)

"THE TIMES THAY AINT A CHANGING, FAST ENOUGH!" 2017 acrylic on canvas by Henry Taylor (b. 1958) at @whitneymuseum the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York as part of the Whitney Biennial 2017. Written near the painting: Henry Taylor makes paintings that confront the increasingly visible racial tensions between law enforcement and the communities they serve. "THE TIMES THAY AINT A CHANGING, FAST ENOUGH!" draws on the video Diamond Reynolds captured moments after her fiancé, Philando Castile, has been fatally shot by a police officer in July 2016 in Falcon Heights, Minnesota—an incident that sparked protests nationwide. Taylor's graphic painting insists that such violence an urgent response. #acryliconcanvas #henrytaylor #whitneymuseum #whitneybiennial2017 #dailyritual #whitneybiennialweek (at Whitney Museum of American Art)
