[18 jul. 26] Parálisis del sueño. He soñado que plantaba un árbol en el desierto, un ciprés alto y oscuro que se movía con la brisa. He soñado que plantaba un árbol en el desierto que, no daba sombra. He soñado que me hundía en la arena fría. Engullida me he despertado.

I used a lot more acrylic inks on this one, letting the inks pour and run across the paper and then painting over the top of them once they dried. I really like the effect! "All That Will Grow" Watercolor, acrylic ink, gouache, and color pencils.

Working on a new piece; thinking about star thistles, how in the western US they are an invasive and noxious weed that readily takes over land that has been disturbed and degraded. or something.

A lot of these paintings show the New York communities I have come to know (Sunset Park, Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge). I wanted to depict the people who built these communities and make this city so incredible. and what better way to show this than with a cat bothering them

watercolor painting, a USPS truck is parked on the side of the street next to a growing tree. dappled shadows fall on the side of the truck. a USPS worker is standing by the side door, looking at a cat who has parked its ass on the drivers seat, foot up in the air licking its butt
