Painted a new piece at @base.camp.studios . Thanks

Painted a new piece at @base.camp.studios . Thanks for supporting a bunch of really talented artists and giving me a space to shout some angst. Incidentally, went from painting this piece to walking over to the moore theater and got to see @placeboworld kill it on stage. I've been waiting decades to see them live; a band that's been there for the lowest lows and the highest highs. Art is an ecosystem. Film, dance, music, performance, paint, form... It's so important that we all find ways to create it, absorb it, and advocate for its place in our world.

Less than a day after repairing it from a tag, it got hit by 4 more. My favorite is the "fuck guns" written in what I think is makeup pencil. I mean, we agree? Not sure the caption was needed. I'm gonna keep eyes on this one tho, cuz i feel it's important.

Also, shout out to the building for buffing stuff but trying to keep my work intact. All my stuff is non commissioned, and I've never spoken with them, but I appreciate the nod. My previous piece is just down to a head, but, dammit, they're maintaining that head. Might be time to repaint that piece.

Here's an interesting couple of facts: since the C

Here's an interesting couple of facts: since the Columbine school shooting in 1999, there have been 377 more school shootings in the US, meaning an estimated 300,000 children have experienced gun violence in their schools (Washington Post). And 175 children have been killed by guns in mass shootings in school (AP). But the bans being successfully moved forward right now ensure that your kids can't talk about menstruation or read books with rainbows on the covers.

My piece from last year lasted a good ten months or so before getting absolutely blasted pretty much over night. I waited a couple months and decided to paint a new piece in its place rather than try to restore it.

Incidentally, do you ever get the feeling that you're disappearing. It's an awful feeling. Maybe that's why I'm here, reverting back to caveman instincts, just tracing my hand on a wall trying to prove I exist.

🎉 Big announcement folx🎉
.
Last night, I kicked off a project I've been thinking about for about ten years. This year's solstice marks the start of No Vacant Walls, an effort to place my paintings in public areas to be discovered, and brought home, as donated artworks. Everyone has the right to place art on their walls, but many of us may feel like fine art is a distant priority when compared to our daily needs. Art ownership may seem like a luxury, but I want to help change that narrative one vacant wall at a time.
.
Last night was just the beginning, with 30 paintings in 6 neighborhoods in Seattle (it was supposed to be 50, but the snow started building up in the early hours and I called it). Find out more about the project at the link in bio.

@costajoaquin from @lefixtattoomagic interpreted my scorpion design (painted earlier this week) as a takeaway from this amazing trip to Denmark. My second piece from this shop of incredible artists. Thanks to @tattoosbyras for always making Copenhagen feel like home. These past weeks have been filled with beauty, inspiration, chaos, and weirdness, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Here's a big one folx. Just wrapped up work on a piece in #georgetown in partnership with @electriccelloseattle . The space is still having the seating area built out but here's a peek at the 40 foot #mural. It was a long, hot weekend of painting, but I'm really stoked on how it's turned out. I hope when you're boppin around the community you'll take a seat and take a look at these ants.

Special thanks to the folx at Electric Cello who made me some incredible food and kept the ice and smiles flowing. Huge thanks to @brittporter for assisting in production on the piece to make it possible. Thanks to @allcitycoffee for coming to say hey (and for the pastries 💪). Thanks to @wittman_estes for the project. And always, thanks to the community for stopping by and sharing stories and their lives while they see me working on pieces like this.

The paint must not have been fully dry before it got tagged. Thanks guys, looks much better now. I try not to be too down on tagging, everyone wants to be heard in their own way. But seriously, Roe got overturned yesterday and I busted to get this piece designed and painted. I started at 9am and finished at 11:30pm. This shit ain't easy. I didn't even get a daylight photo of it to capture the moment. While the world burns, why ya gotta throw gasoline on it?

Today, the #supremecourt overturned #roevwade enabling states to ban #abortion and set women's healthcare back decades, as well as placing us well behind other nations when it comes to freedom of choice and women's rights. The stats are no longer important. The appeals to logic are no longer important.

I don't typically talk about the origins of design

I don't typically talk about the origins of designs but I was thinking a lot of this one in lieu of recent events. I have a little unofficial list of "will not use" imagery, which for a while included guns. But after a school shooting several years ago, I made this design to reconcile my feelings. Here's the thing tho, I no longer remember which one. That's where we're at now. A school shooting is no longer a significant enough milestone in our history to form a sense of scale around. As years, months, and sometimes even weeks or days go by, you have to ask "which one"? The ape in this design is a juvenile orangutan, barely able to hold the AR-15 rifle used in so many tragedies in this country. I'll let you all interpret the rest.
