Sacred Heart, again, because we need faith and compassion more than ever.

Sacred Heart with angelina fantasy film by Suzanne Forbes June 2020I made another Sacred Heart.

For me the Sacred Heart symbolizes our burning, blazing love for each other, our ability to keep going with love and find faith at the darkest times.

Sacred Heart with angelina fantasy film by Suzanne Forbes June 2020This one really lights up!

As a person with no religious education beyond the Narnia books, I don’t actually know what the Heart Afire means to people raised in churches.

Sacred Heart with angelina fantasy film by Suzanne Forbes June 2020To me it’s a companion to the Phoenix, a representation of the flame of compassion and faith that burns in our hearts.

(little peek of my Phoenix tattoo in this shot!)

This piece is part of a whole wild road I am going down with Angelina fantasy film and uv resin.

One of the earliest projects here; how to google Angelina Fantasy Film here. I have been making SUCH beautiful things! More about them next month.

Sacred heart from March.

Guest Pride Post: the Pride art of Victoria Aronoff!

Love is Love Art by Victoria Aronoff June 2020You know you love Pride Sloths and Pride Frogs!

My oldest friend, Victoria Aronoff, made a bunch of amazing Pride art with her son Brad.

Look at these adorable little slothies representing!

Pride frogs Art by Victoria Aronoff June 2020

And these fabulous frogs!

Luckily Victoria had Brad to help choose all the flags. Even I, a person living in Berlin and surrounded by an international community of radical young queers, don’t know a lot of the flags.

It’s good to get educated about flags, and it’s good to remember that PRIDE WAS A RIOT and LOVE IS LOVE. Happy Pride!
