An upside down world

The world is upside down now. What is wrong and what is right, flipped. Trump, who tried to overthrow the government with his band of cult thugs and belongs in jail is threatening to prosecute Liz Cheney! Just imagine that! I am not a huge Liz fan but I will go to the streets for that fight and for the SSN cut battle. 

In case you missed GOP Rep Greg Lopez statement about cutting SSN and Medicare - Outside First DOGE Caucus Meeting, Republican Says 'There Will Be Some Cuts' to Social Security. "I think these should be on the table," GOP Rep. Greg Lopez said of Social Security and Medicare. And BTW, how are they having DOGE meetings right now before trump is even in office???

I got in the car to run to the deli for Half & Half and some great, rap 90's songs came on. Making me feel happy and light. The sun is shining after a hard flood ALL NIGHT, leading to our basement flooding. But in the sunshine and fun, happy music feeling it comes back to me now f'ed up we are right now. To the point where I am begging those aliens in the drones in New Jersey to invade and take over, or that asteroid to just put us out of our misery and HIT earth all ready! 

 The CDC has confirmed the first severe case of bird flu in a human in the U.S. Can't wait for some pandemic to really hit the world because it is going to be fun with worm brain in charge. 

Putin has put trump in charge, trump has put musk (who has met with putin many times) and tulsi, I swear, they are going to bring this country to its' knees. Putin should be so happy right now.  

Klaas Verplancke lightness, humor and illustrations make me sooooo happy. His Instagram.

In case you need a smile here is wordy bird. I love this bird! 

 

 

All sweetness and light

The magical trees of Jane Newland

I soooo love these trees by Jane Newland. The gentle strokes, the color combination, the ease of the illustration. The difficult decision would picking out which ones I would want to purchase!

The mind-blowing talent and attention to details at Red Nose Studios

I am so in love with Sickels' Red Nose Studio's work.  

"Some years ago an art director warned Chris Sickels, “Chris, if you aren’t careful you’re going to become known only for drawing people who have red noses.” Sickels thought to himself, “Well, why not? Good a name as any.” Red nose, green nose, blue nose, no nose. Who knows and who cares? Sickels work is sensational—a richly textured, finely crafted, multidisciplinary blend that demonstrates stupendous imaginative power. 

Smiling, soft-spoken, Sickels is a slender guy of 34, who wears a floppy fishing hat and round spectacles. He has a “gee whiz” air about him that gives him great charm. He’s aware of his own gifts, but he is more amazed by the potential of everyday objects and other people’s trash—trash he turns to treasure. Sickels might be the most carbon-neutral designer in America. 

Sickels works above his garage behind the Greenfield, Indiana, home he shares with his wife Jennifer and his doe-eyed children, Owen (three) and Ava (one). His blind, diabetic, eleven-year-old dog Corwin noses about the cluttered studio trying to avoid the hundreds of witches, Santas, bad boys, good boys, space men, pallbearers, rabbits, pumpkins, spaceships, trains...and all the stuff that goes into making them."
