Today’s #Inktober prompt is “Demons” and what could be more fitting than the state of the Chinese government? They censor and ban everything from photos of Tank Man during the Tiananmen massacre, to silly memes of Winnie the Pooh. Image
And they have disappeared people for posting these memes. What kind of dystopian nightmare of a country has my birthland become?

There is no freedom in China and that’s exactly why the people of Hong Kong have been protesting so hard for their freedom. Image
Their bravery is so inspiring, like that of Tank Man who stood up to the tanks that slaughtered countless pro democracy students in 1989. Even if China censors everything within their firewalls, we in the free world will remember and spread the truth. Image
The current Chinese government stands on the wrong side of history.

There’s one last stretch goal left, and if we surpass that one, every backer will get a mini star kit like the ones seen in these photos :D

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so angered by the injustice happening in the art community. For those who don’t know, the photographer Zhang Jingna (@Zemotion) had her work stolen by Jeff Dieschburg, and the stolen work won a €1,500 prize.

(1/9)
You can see for yourself what an exact copy Jeff did of Jingna’s original work. Normally, when such blatant plagiarism comes to light, you would think the reward would be revoked and the thief should face the consequences. But that hasn’t happened for some reason.

This reminds me of a similar experience I had 12 years ago when a girl also copied my work and won first place at the Scholastic competition. She had copied everything, including the poem I wrote for the painting, word for word.

Continuing my series about the recent wildfires that turned our sky red. I noticed in my past posts a lot of people thinking this is caused by stupid gender reveal parties. Gender reveal caused 1 fire, but the other 650 fires were caused by an unprecedented dry thunderstorm.
I've lived in CA for over 20 years and I've never seen thunderstorms in August during drought season. Unlike other parts of the world, the normal climate in CA doesn't get storms until winter. This storm is the remains of Tropical Storm Fausto which caused over 11,000 lightning
strikes resulting in over 2 million acres burned, turning our sky red like the apocalypse.

This is what climate change looks like. Not some stupid gender reveal caused by the mistakes of a few, but the collective consequences of us all failing to protect the only home we have.

Lofi Cali Girl - beats to relax/study to during the climate change apocalypse

I saw the #LofiGirl meme floating around about all the different countries and thought about making one for California where I live, and well...

This is literally the sky outside my house at 10 am.

When life gets me down, I put it on canvas to help make sense of it all. These are some of my darker themed paintings from the past 10 years. Making my art book has been quite a journey, it made me look back at all of my creations, and the emotions that shaped me. ImageImageImage
In other news, I’ll be adding more signed and stamped art books to my Kickstarter this Saturday at noon PST kickstarter.com/projects/yuume…

Thank you all who supported me over the decade and helped me become the artist I am today <3 ImageImageImage
