A flag on a bicycle is wonderful. (But maybe not a MAGA flag.)

Another way to think about it is that public art is communal and the pink paint tagging is collaborative. Also, art, like living, evolves and progresses, with creation, coming out, fullness, maturity, aging and demise. Art mirrors the living. Static art is lifeless.

Let's talk about "better time for humanity...as a species" without also considering the fact that we are in the throes of a mass extinction event while staring down the barrel of a man-made global climate change existential crisis.

Hoarding their larger slice of a shrinking pie.

And they say: "Never let begonia leaves get wet."

My studio right now. Here are seven different exotic species of #begonia that, in the wild, are native clinging to cliffs near waterfalls. I've rigged up a small water pump to dribble an endless cycle of water dripping down. Illuminated by 6,000 Lux of LED lighting. Making for happy plants.
