We need to keep our Earth healthy! The fossil fue We need to keep our Earth healthy!

The fossil fuel industry shouldn’t be off the hook for the pollution it unleashes. It’s making us sick while heating the planet. That’s why I was inspired to collaborate with @biggaspolluters , 
a coalition dedicated to holding oil and gas companies accountable while ensuring we live in a healthier, greener world.

The First Casualty of Beverly & Fairfax!💥 I lo The First Casualty of Beverly & Fairfax!💥

I love these two wild, rambunctious kittens. But I also loved this midcentury mannequin head I’ve had in my bedroom for over 20 years. She was perfect & dreamy. 

Bosko did this a few years ago with another one of my very favorite old girl mannequin heads. 

And recommendations on a good refurbisher?

MY LACMA. As @lacma is starting all their fancy e MY LACMA.

As @lacma is starting all their fancy events to celebrate their new building, 
I wanted to post this apocalyptic photo 
I took on September 23, 2022 during one of my many many many walks during the pandemic. 

Born and bred in this neighborhood, the original LACMA building had a special presence and meaning. My first introduction to fine art, and the civic responsibility to offering culture to all, no matter your position in life.

Watching the destruction day by day, added to the dark times of Covid & isolation.
PROTECTING YOU FROM EVIL SPIRITS!! These are my T PROTECTING YOU FROM EVIL SPIRITS!!

These are my TOBY DOOR GODS!
They were painted specifically for my museum exhibition at @mocataipei & @k11artfoundation 11 years ago!

I was inspired by visiting the beautiful Buddhist temples in Asia and being welcomed by the Door Gods.
So when THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN came to Taiwan & Shanghai, I wanted to create something new and special. 
I also had my outfit made for our Opening Art Performance based on the Toby Door Good outfit!
GOOD LUCK, BAD LUCK, & DUMB LUCK! Be careful for GOOD LUCK, BAD LUCK, & DUMB LUCK!

Be careful for what you WISH for, especially if you want that Lucky Rabbit’s Foot and you are a Bunny!

Life has been throwing me some curve balls, Good, Bad, and Ugly. It got me thinking about this OG Theme of mine.
DAMN YOU ALL!!! With all the craziness going on i DAMN YOU ALL!!!

With all the craziness going on in the world, this felt like the right thing to post.

I’m juggling a lot of things professionally & personally, and so concerned what is happening in our nation & world, but trying to stay productive and surround myself with positive energy & love.

This painting was made after my cat, Stubby, was killed by a car a couple decades ago. And all I could think at the time was “damn you all.” 

I’m so grateful for my two new lil kittens, my fur family around me and especially @lulasphinx
