It’s been a while!

How did almost five years go by without a blog post??? No excuses, they just did. I think part of it is the lure of social media — why go on for paragraphs when you can just upload an image and a caption? But I do think a lot about what I do, what images I create, what I read, and so I’m feeling compelled to write in a longer format. But for today, in the interest of getting my new website officially launched, all I’ll say is “I’m back!”

Stay tuned for more.

Do you know where the children are?

Continuing my series of images that can be faxed to your representatives and to members of the Administration. FaxZero lets you send 5 free fax messages a day, and can send images as PDFs.
It also occurred to me that the images would work as internet memes as well, so I’ve created JPGs to share online.
In either case, feel free to download, share, distribute, and use as you will.

The PDFs to download and fax:

Where are the children? Images to fax

More than 2,000 children have been put in detention centers across the US. There is no known mechanism for returning children to their parents. Please keep sending faxes to your representatives and (ir)responsible members of the administration.

Below are four more image files that can be faxed as PDFs. Please feel free to download, fax, and share.

Post update: here are JPG images to use online, as well.

Continue faxing

While Trump may have ordered a halt to family separations, there are still a lot of issues that need to be addressed, such as how families will be reunited, and how long that will take, and how long any newly reunited families will be held in detention centers. Let’s keep up the pressure.

Here are three new PDF images to fax to your elected officials, and don’t forget to send them to the administration, too. FaxZero sends up to 5 faxes a day for free.

Return the Children

Families Belong Together

Return the Children to their Families

Update: Now I’ve added JPG files to share online. Please feel free to use and share.

Fax your elected officials

It has occurred to me that one can send images (as PDF files) through FaxZero. You can send up to 5 free faxes a day.

I’m imagining the offices of Republican lawmakers filled with images of crying children who have been separated from their parents. Here are a few images that you can send. Feel free to download, use, and share.

Rearranging the Furniture

I realize I haven’t written a blog post in a long time – not because I haven’t been doing anything, but rather that I’ve been doing so much that I tire myself out and don’t have the energy to write.

But here’s a quick post!

It’s been about a year since I set up my studio in the new house. And now that I’ve been using it for a while, it’s time to do a bit of fine-tuning.

This week, I got rid of my orange shelves (actually just moved them to the bedroom) and put in large industrial shelving instead.

You can see the old orange shelves in the background of this picture of me at my press. They fit against a little jog in the wall, but still stick out a bit and make it a close fit to get around the press bed.

Orange shelves, gone!

Industrial shelving, up!
New shelves in place

And now full of stuff!
Lots of stuff on my new shelves

Next project: all that stuff on the new shelves? Get it organized!
(It is currently entirely randomly placed, mainly to keep the cats off…)
