I did this one mostly over the Women’s March Weekend.

I really need to make things of beauty at dark times, when I’m not personally depressed but the world is frighteningly fucked up.

I hate being in the ecosphere of a Zuck property, but it’s the best place to keep up with my loved ones these days, and an amazing place to connect with what other artists are doing.

Maybe I’ll see you there!
