Hi y'all, I'm new to Mastodon so this is my #introduction. I'm a full-time artist making anodized aluminum jewelry and sculpture. I have a knack for finding myself on the board of small arts orgs and I also volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society and Transition Projects. I'm married with one cat, no kids and loving it. I'm all about good food, dancing, vinyl, listening to NPR, meditation, watching movies at the Hollywood Theater and generally geeking out with @mossyfoot@pdx.social. https://allenmetalarts.com/

Hey Portland! Join us on No Kings Day. We’re filling a full square mile of Portland’s east side sidewalks with protest, purpose, and people power.

From the Convention Center to Broadway, from MLK to Grand, we’re taking over the sidewalks in one loud, united voice. You can then go onto the rally downtown.

This is me cutting a new custom die which I will use to punch flowers for a wall sculpture for my upcoming show @albertastreetgallery. It's made out of tool steel, so it takes a really long time and lots of broken saw blades. #restingsawface #process #artistsonmastodon #artistatwork #portlandartist #allenmetalarts #floraljewelry #sculpture #homedecor #metalart #aluminumsculpture #artjewelry #sculpture #homedecor #metalart #floralart #botanicalart

Fulfilling my cat pic obligations. This is Naboo, which is a Mighty Boosh reference, not Star Wars FYI. He's over 15 years old and a freaking awesome cat except that he meows so very much.

If you are one of the folks who think that protests don't make a difference, this is one many comments about the Square Mile Protest organized by Indivisibles in Portland Dist. 1, 2 & 3.

- besides it being the right thing to do...the solidarity was almost overwhelming. every type of human being were in attendance. lifted my spirits, hope is still alive & well. we the people will do whatever it's to get this country back on the right track. fabulous event!

Hey Oregonians,
Our May 20, 2025, Special Election may not seem that important, but school boards, water, and transportation districts. impact our everyday lives. Plus, local elections build the bench for national leadership — and when we vote locally, we're investing in long-term change from the ground up.

Local elections often see shockingly low turnout. That means your single vote holds incredible power, so use your power.

Show your solidarity. #racialjustice #blacklivesmatter #wearethebridge
#protests

Show up in solidarity May 1st.
