Why Wall Street Firms Are Paying $100,000 a Month for a Fast Track to Trump Posts
Traders who already monitor the president’s pronouncements with automated systems can pay for an ultrafast feed. At least five firms have signed up.

Getting into this painting and a large print from my Corot Studies: Lake Superior series. They’re related to the Corot works, but the spatial movement feels reversed. In these Lake Superior pieces, the horizon feels more like a hinge. The space turns, drops, hangs, and accumulates beneath it.
I started working on this one today as well. Suddenly, some organizational principles were presented to me. I've been staring at it for a long time. The goal is to resolve it while simultaneously retaining the challenges it presented. I have no idea what that means, though. It's a problem.
This one has an alchemical groove going. In progress but getting close..
NEW: Minnesota just hit three straight months of job growth. And as a top state for business, we’re creating jobs that pay well, provide benefits, and offer unmatched worker protections. If you want to work, Minnesota is the place to be.

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoHoman on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
WHEW! Getting print margins correct—and consistent—is a huge PITA. Anyway, everything is working again, and I made this lovely print—IMHO—of a recent iPad drawing. It is part of my ongoing Corot Studies series and will be available as part of a forthcoming limited-edition portfolio of prints.

The older I get, the less I think an artist is sustained by talent. Actually, I've never thought talent meant much. We're sustained by a way of seeing. My latest blog is about the quiet philosophy that keeps us working when the storms inevitably arrive www.brianfrink.com/blog/2026/7/...
Core Artistic Philosophy — BRIAN FRINK
Every artist who sustains a lifetime of work eventually develops one: a core philosophy that guides the art they create. It’s more than a collection of ideas. It’s a frame of mind through which every ...

Corot Study: Creek in Spearfish 22x28 in 2026 Acrylic on linen
Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear: 1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close. 2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Minnesota will always protect your right to vote. We will continue to have the freest and fairest elections, and we will continue to lead the nation in voter turnout.
Corot Study: Creekside, Spearfish, SD Pastel and pencil on gray Stonehenge paper, 22 × 30", 2026. I love disappearing into the work. The anger and frustration are there—but so are joy and love. Maybe painting is where irreconcilable contradictions are allowed to exist together.
Sometimes I have to stare at a painting for a long time to see it. This one didn't do much for me initially...but now... it is singing.
Corot Study: Black Hills Variation, Creek 22x30" Pencil on gray stonehenge paper 2026
In progress, 22x30" In these drawings, I’m trying to translate landscape as behavior rather than description: trees, water, rocks, and shadows as mass, pressure, movement, and interruption. The two crossing shadows are key — interlocking rhythmic forms that hold the drawing together.
Playing badminton with Mitch McConnell. We talked about the midterms and Iran. I took the first game 15-0 because he is unresponsive and lying on the ground.
