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.

Those who know me know that I am passionate about

Those who know me know that I am passionate about keeping art in the community. I've been climbing at @seattleboulderingproject for over ten years and it's been a huge part of my personal community, giving me a place to make friends, take control of my health, and learn new skills. I'm super honored to be able to display 9 paintings on the walls here for the next month or so. If you're a member at the gym come stop by the poplar location and take a look.

Last year, on Jan 6, we all saw the crazy effects of a very real problem facing our country. I painted this mural the week after the Capitol Insurrection. One year later, the mural still stands. Some anniversaries are a little bittersweet.

About ten years ago I was passing thru the Houston

About ten years ago I was passing thru the Houston airport and there were posters of a young child from some ambiguous Eastern country. She had big eyes, simple clothes, and was alone. The poster's headline copy read "she's not as innocent as she looks, report suspicious behavior". I've never forgotten that poster and I'm sure the thousands of families traveling thru this point of entry haven't either.

PSA: just because it's a holiday doesn't mean you all get a free pass to treat everyone like garbage. This year has been rough, but this month has been monstrous. Be kinder y'all.

This poor wall has seen numerous great pieces on it over the past year, but it all got buffed recently, so thought I'd throw my voice up on there. This tryptic on the corner of Pine and Broadway is a couple of moods.

I've been eyeing this little ramp for some time at the skate park. Something about the geometry was calling out to me, so I put this chill ass bear on it. I love seeing parks get used to their fullest by a community, and tho my skating days are well behind me, I really admire seeing this park full of skaters every day, of all skills, being 🤙

I am happy to contribute this piece to @roadogs fundraiser. Doggos started the piece with painty paws and I finished their work with a stencil inspired by the colors of the puppy Picassos. Good luck with your auction!

I've been looking to paint a large piece for my be

I've been looking to paint a large piece for my bedroom and finally produced this over the weekend on 60 x 40 in canvas. When i paint outside, there is a certain level of forgiveness with my stencil work. You're often seeing big pieces from far back. Over spray or alignment issues are less prominent (and even become part of the aesthetic). But when i paint pieces on Bristol board or canvas, i work super hard to make hard ass lines. It can be very laborious and sometimes i fail hard. The irony is, when i succeed, many people look past the craft and assume the work is from a printer. My pieces get referred to as prints or illustrations a lot. 🤷I think this came out super neat, and it contrasts to me a recent piece i did on canvas that i feel looks super loose and messy. Different outcomes, same materials.
.
.
Tl;dr this stuff can be hard even tho it's stencils. Glad this one worked.

I'm deeply inspired when I see park space actively

I'm deeply inspired when I see park space actively being used. But when more so when the community feels so closely interwoven into it's identity. #judkinspark is an important beacon when it comes to community gatherings. I remember rallying there for the women's march several years ago (that stretched from judkins to Seattle Center). The community gathered there last summer to march for social justice in wake of the murder of George Floyd. But these are tent poles of the day to day activities: skateboarding, soccer, basketball, hockey, bike polo, roller skating, and a free wall for painting. Every minute of the day, people are living untethered from gravity. So this is for you, for making something beautiful.

Another stencil design in progress. Here's a digit

Another stencil design in progress. Here's a digital mockup. I feel like I'm stuck a little in the concept phase and not really executing anything lately. I'm hoping to get back to painting soon, but y'all know how this goes sometimes. It comes in waves. Sometimes, its a creative desert, and there are zero ideas coming out. Other times, you're painting every week. I'm somewhere in between right now, just trying to keep the mind working, even if the cans aren't spraying.
