Social Justice
To my way of thinking, social justice is the responsibility of each and every human on this planet. It's clear that governments and corporations cannot be trusted to insure that the rights and well being of all people are secure and protected. We must look out for each other, each in our own way to the best of our capability. It's what makes us human. Since my funds, like everyone else's, are very limited I make art and donate a part of the proceeds to human rights and environmental organizations. This is one of the ways I look out for my fellow humans.
My latest piece
Like many I was horrified at the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election because we all knew what was coming. However, since the inauguration on January 20 the horror has turned to powerful rage as we watch this country and everything it once stood for being annihilated all for the profits and sick ideology of a cohort of deeply troubled people. In an effort to channel my fury I carved this linoleum block and have hand printed these 18" x 12" protest posters. The oil based ink is waterproof and the paper is a good quality, making them perfect for carrying at your next vigil or march.

the carved linoleum block
In the face of ongoing war, environmental degradation, natural disasters, and increasing poverty all over the planet, I was compelled to create a piece which not only expressed my hope for the future of us all and this magnificent Earth, but would raise funds for an organization which has been on the literal front lines for decades, doing work that most of us can't even imagine: Doctors Without Borders. This is the biggest block print I have ever made; at 30" x 22" it was too big to fit on my printing press so I had to print each one by hand. For this reason I only made 12 of these, each one signed, numbered, and titled. Here's the important part: $50 from the sale of each of these prints will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, whose compassionate services are needed more today than ever before.

The image is of the big ancient oak tree in our pasture, our daughter and grandson enjoying the swing hanging from its branches as a red tailed hawk soars above. Each of these was hand printed on a single sheet of heavy weight French made archival BFK Rives paper and will ship gently rolled in a heavy cardboard tube.
