Abby Martin, Artist

There are many articles I've written out of enthusiasm for Abby Martin's work on "Breaking the Set" and as an activist.  She makes Bill Maher look like a self-indulgent pantywaist but that's in part because Bill Maher already is a self-indulgent pantywaist.  Martin plays hard and she's not wasting time trying to be witty or clever, she just wants the facts.

There is a very different side to her as she is also an artist in paint.  She's been heavily-influenced by Bay area psychedelia but that, in my view, is an excellent thing as it was one of the coolest things to come out of the sixties in general and San Francisco in particular.

Here's one called #1 Ambiente:



You can see many more examples of her work at Abby Martin's online gallery.  I looked at quite a few and most of them were sold.
