We don't subscribe to many things, but there are a few we do (did).

I will be protesting Accidental Artmaker. I don't believe politics should enter into this type of platform. You have no idea how many followers you may have just offended....

I appreciate you sharing your perspective. However, I closed my retail business specifically so I would no longer have to separate my art from my values. The mission of this studio is 'Art as Witness,' and that inherently means engaging with the world as it is, politics included. I knew this pivot would cost me followers, but the cost of staying silent was higher. I wish you the best in finding a community and a platform that aligns with what you need.

We are at a point now when we must speak out. We can no longer cover our ears and sing la-la-la. We are in a real struggle for our lives and our country.
