“Ceasefire Now” is a message in need of sharing. The sticker of this design is now a donation gift for a suggested donation of $3-7. The donations will be collected by me, tiedyegadfly, and donated to Breaking the Silence.
Breaking the Silence is an NGO organized by veterans of IDF who tell their stories, speak out about the violence, and take action against the current system in Israel. I hope you take a look at their work and include them in your follows about the current struggle.

Breaking the Silence is an NGO established by veterans of IDF. They speak out about the occupation and against actions of IDF that perpetuate Palestinians’ ongoing experience of injustice & violence. I hope for a future where more Israelis can hear & understand the reality on the ground. At the very least, I hope you visit and follow Breaking the Silence.
I want to know my blind spots. They are likely located in the places I trust my perception the most. If I am not looking at my activated feelings, they are probably hiding behind them. Those spots have those feelings to protect me from stepping into a contradiction, which I’m afraid will be painful to resolve. Don’t be afraid. Step into the grey, and stand there letting it rasp against my skin. Let it rage in tension and friction until it breathes easy. Until that contradiction is no longer a danger, but an area of growth.
My theory of art is that aesthetics alone are enough of a statement to be “art.”
This world is pretty flipped up and confusing, and if a piece simply evokes those aesthetic tingles that brighten someone’s moment, that, to me, is absolutely enough to be honored as “art.”
Art is often commentary simply by being an imitation of some aspect of reality seen from the perspective of the artist. A piece created by an artist just wanting to draw something pretty can hold a thousand meanings to a thousand or less people, isn’t that a mysterious miracle?
With that, here’s a new addition to my giclée collection! One of two smaller print offerings celebrating a connection with Mother Nature, and also celebrating beautiful babes 😉 she and her partner are 4x6 prints on 5x7 paper. DM to order 😘
Art is a practice over time. Most everything is a practice over time.
When I focus on how much I have left to fill in my cup on the journey towards mastery, I end up feeling like my insignificant drops will never amount to anything, and it would be better to not even try. When I notice how much I filled already, it seems like I got here in the blink of an eye.
Art can be a luxury, and some art forms require deep devotions of time and energy to complete. Some art demands high prices because of scarcity, name recognition, or other subjective or objective qualities. Sometimes, I make art like this, and I can’t part with it for less than what it is worth to me. If it took a great deal to make, I need that energy back in return.
But.
I cherish multiples.
I cherish being able to make art that’s as accessible as a cup of coffee or two. If something about my collections of lines, patterns, and figures pleases people, I cherish creating multiples to be enjoyed by as many people who vibe with it as possible. Sometimes money is scarce, I often have been in the same boat and loved being able to buy a patch or a sticker from a favorite artist, something to inspire aesthetic tingles when I look at it even when I can’t get the big fancy pieces.
Stickers, patches, small prints, and lowbrow art found here daily ✌️
