It’s International Blog Against Racism Week, and there are plenty of worthwhile, thought-provoking posts out there in the blogosphere. Many of them are bookmarked on Delicious.

I have always considered myself an ally, though I would never have used that term. I didn’t know that term. I knew people. Different colors of wonderful people. I liked them. They liked me. How utterly clueless of me. I realized how clueless reading along on various blogs about RaceFail 09, and before, and after. Finding good posts and, hopefully, not making an ass of myself in comments. I had other ways to make an ass of myself, I guess. (click to read more… a.k.a. my ass, let me show you it.)

Pensive

I had a completely different thing in mind when this came out. The concept’s probably been done to death, but it wouldn’t be what I originally intended. I’m not sure it’s finished, but nothing I did after this point was right, and I don’t have the time to play with it right now.

Journeys

I haven’t had the opportunity to paint just because I felt like it for a while, but I woke up from a dream two days ago, and this image was in my mind. I’m hoping it won’t be so persistent now that I’ve gotten it down. I still want to know where she’s going. (Click on the full image to see it in a larger size.)
