You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

Google billionaire wants to exploit the American infrastructure and enjoy the 🌞California🌴 lifestyle...but doesn't want to pay for the privileges. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Well said!

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Gorgeous palette. I'm pretty sure I could have this one on my wall for years and never get tired of it.

Hiding the truth.

This is a painting I made several years ago, inspired by Tofino, BC Day's End 36x48 acrylic on canvas

Draft 9 of client request: NO pretty scripts. NO flourishes. It’s a fun challenge—but hard to silence that calligrapher’s muscle memory. (yes, I've misspelled hari hachi bu)✌️😎

Hair spray (Tresemme Super Hold Level 4) is the secret to lettering on this delicate rice paper! Without it, the ink would bleed and feather and become mostly a blob.✌️😎

I always say 'Sorry, no.' to chalkboard jobs but I've decided to learn. This is the final iteration of my first attempt

My client gave me permission to flourish the names however I wanted! Hi #Erica #Lauren #Shannon and #Lisa! - Rose gold ink calligraphy on white rice paper, lettered in copperplate script.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

"Rustic" is the new couture - hand lettering in custom matched ink (um actually, it's gouache), on a sturdy, handmade paper. I'm loving how these simplest of elements create an upscale vibe. #WeddingCalligraphy #EnvelopeAddressing #HandLettering #handmadepaper #WeddingInvitations #calligraphyideas

Playing and pushing the limits of how much simple block letters can be flourished. #WeddingCalligraphy #EnvelopeAddressing #HandLettering #handmadepaper #WeddingInvitations #calligraphyideas

A perfect marriage of media: handmade papers and calligraphy. Neither is very showy, but as a couple, they bring out the best in each other😉 #WeddingCalligraphy #EnvelopeAddressing #HandLettering #handmadepaper #WeddingInvitations #calligraphyideas

Doodling with chalk on a vinyl chalkboard. As long as the vinyl is primed correctly, it talks chalk nearly as well as a slate chalk board. #chalkart #chalksigns #weddingsigns #chalk #chalkboard #chalkcouture

Will it get where it's going? Address is on the other side so, "yes". I hear stories but after 30 years of mailing off projects, I've never once had a package go astray because of USPS. #handlettering #art #calligraphy #copperplatescript #flourishing #USPS #Sharpie #mail

More bread & butter work but #wedding envelopes happen to be my MOST favorite job. (faked address 🙃) #handlettering #art #calligraphy #copperplatescript #flourishing #pointedpen #envelope
