Some people suffer, and then go on thinking of ways to ensure that others do not have to suffer the same.
Other people suffer…and then decide others must suffer the same.
I don’t understand that.

Thank you!! ❤️

No-Face, the character from Spirited Away, stretching into a multi-legged creepy version of himself for Halloween.

You know what I mean? #animation #art #tired
You know you’re tired when you order a coffee and a bagel.
And the barista asks if you- “want whipcream on that?”
And you say- “Oh no, not on my bagel, thank you.”

It’s nice to see a kernel of good news. I know they are trying to push that through quickly! I’ve called my Senators repeatedly…you know once they take that land we will NEVER get it back.
Provisions Subject to a 60-Vote Byrd Rule Point of Order Energy and Natural Resources NEPA compliance. These provisions deem offshore oil and gas projects as automatically compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act, nullifying these projects' environmental review processes. (Subsection 102(b)(4) and Subsection 102(b)(5)) Offshore oil and gas leasing. This subsection requires leases to be issued to successful bidders within 90 days after the lease sale. (Subsection 102(b)(6)) Ambler Road. This section requires the Secretary of the Interior to permit construction of Ambler Road, a controversial mining road in Alaska. (Section 201) Mandatory public land sales. This section mandates the unprecedented sale of millions of acres of public land, including from both Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands. (Section 301)
Renewable energy fees. This subsection removes the Secretary of the Interior's discretion to reduce fees for solar and wind projects on Bureau of Land Management land. (Subsection 303(e)) Geothermal leasing and royalties. These sections require the Secretary of the Interior to hold yearly geothermal lease sales and purport to change how geothermal royalties are calculated. (Section 305 and Section 306) Natural gas exports and imports. This section creates a pay-to-play regime for natural gas exports, allowing natural gas exporters to pay a fee to have their project be deemed "in the public interest," which is a requirement for approval. (Section 401)
HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too.
This isn't over, but this is a huge win.

Ohhhh to feel just half as relaxed and peaceful as she…. #dogs #sleepingdog #peace
🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.
A black and white lineart illustration of a stag with antlers that have grown so large they are going off the page. The scene is in a lush and foliage dense forest, with a hunter hidden in the darkness of the background, waiting for his chance.
This is the story of a stag, a “king” of the forest, who began to steal food from others.
He ate and ate till his horned crown grew so big, he could barely lift his head, or run.
Easy prey in a forest of hunters. And so greed became his downfall

More close ups of the illustration(11” by 17”) and fairytale I have been working on.
It’s done. Just working on test prints right now.
Will post full illustration soon.

Just in a constant state of knowing exactly where I am physically….but still just feeling so totally lost.

Good reminder to look up now and then….or you might miss something #birdsinthewild #birdwatching #pnw #heron
Thank you! ❤️
Older illustration I still really enjoy…also reminds me of my dream to live in a house by the sea…. #PNW #art #artist #lineart #illustration #fantasyart
Accurate portrayal of the coolest character in the story 😌👌
Even if mainstream media isn’t showing it, huge protests against this administration are happening all across the states today(5/1), and internationally too!
So important to remember you aren’t alone. There are thousands and THOUSANDS of us ✊💙

Still slowly working on my piece “The Downfall”….(This is only a small section of the full illustration) #art #illustration #lineart #pnwartist #natureart
I had a dream that someone accidently cursed me with the probability of having a 50% higher chance, every day…to see a spider.
This was so devastating to me that I dropped out of college to go into isolation….
I would love to know how to interpret that….

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.
Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
….it is so awing to see people in mass, in person, coming together in protest. We are not just text on a screen. These are REAL people uniting against this fascist regime

Dozens of coordinated protests against the Trump administration are happening across Oregon Saturday, including several in the Portland area.
The #HandsOff demonstrations come in response to the Trump administration, Doge, tariffs and several other issues

Beautiful! The colors and textures are so rich! This is such a joy to see ❤️
As an artist sometimes I’ve felt
…”what’s even the point?” How important is art in the scheme of such tragedies that we live or see others experience.
But then I see a piece of art, hear a song, read a story, that ignites my soul with hope. Reminds me I’m not alone.
Art is everything #art #hope
Hey Oregonians(and heck, anyone!) We have until 3/31 to submit a comment on what we think about them destroying thousands of acres of our public land for mining.
We knew they were coming for the land. Speak up!
Link to submit a comment is in the article. #Oregon #pnw #savetheland #nodrilling #
I don’t post much, but I am actually working on multiple things. One of which, a short fairy tale. Tentative title “the Downfall”… #originalfairytales #illustration #drawing #art
Thank you so much! I love trying to push textures wherever I can 💚
