- Dolmelynllyn, North Wales. Painted a year ago. I was just thinking that I’d never sold one online then I realised I’d never added it to my shop. Oops! It’s for sale in my shop now. jonathanestore.bigcartel.com/product/wels...
- It continues to amaze me how so many who self-identify as Christian clearly haven’t read the key parts of a red letter edition of their sacred text.
- Watching the best new artist category of the Grammys is a great way to remind myself that I’m definitely an old person now 🙃

- Hey… if something started today—you probably felt it before you could name it. A small reset. Nothing fixed. Just open. That’s how new starts usually work. They come with a little undecided space. Let’s let music sit in that space. No rush to define it. This is Ink Radio. Let’s start from here.

- Our understanding of the Universe is stronger because of Bill Nye’s remarkable leadership and advocacy. Thank you, Bill, for your 15 years leading the Planetary Society, and I look forward to continuing to work with you to advance science and space exploration!🚀✨ pasadenanow.com/main/bill-ny...
- Hey… come on in. Nothing special you need to bring with you. If you showed up a little worn, that’s fine. If you showed up steady, that’s fine too. This ain’t a place asking to arrive a certain way. We let music set the pace. Catch up when you’re ready. This is Ink Radio. I’m here.

- Alright… take a sec to recognize what you pushed through — the doubt you didn’t listen to, the anger you didn’t pass on, the moment you stayed when it would’ve been easier to check out. That’s real effort. Carry that with you. Until then, keep the songs going. And the signal human.

- After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

- I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

- Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

- Alright…If you’re listening from Minneapolis—or thinking about it—keep the peeps there close. Carry a little of the music with you. Sometimes that’s all you need. Stay kind with yourself, and pass that along if you get the chance. Until then, keep the songs coming. And the signal human.
