I read a post recently that decried making #art for art’s sake in such troubled times.

I heartily disagree.

Making art, no matter the purpose, brings joy and beauty into a world sorely lacking in both. Sure, art can be a form of protest, but let’s not be limiting the Muses when we need them most.

@elfkin yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you. We must never stop appreciating and creating beauty, even in times of chaos. I made a series of eight rainbow faux fur hats, giant beautiful ridiculous rainbow hats, partly as an act of artistic political defiance.
@gwenbeads And you know that I love them! The perfect antidote to the poison which we are all forced to consume right now.
