My art in the LA Times!

No Data Centers!

My first reaction was "These are not the most flattering photos of me" but I am happy that my handpainted  protest sign made it into the news! Listen to that horse!

My protest sign images are also available as free downloads here. 

Data centers and BESS (battery energy storage systems) are still threatening our residential neighborhoods  and SGV residents (Puente Hills Community Preservation Association) are fighting the corrupt City of Industry in court. Via PHCPA:

PHCPA is currently engaged in public interest litigation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), challenging the adequacy of the environmental review adopted for @aypapower's 9.2-acre, 400-megawatt Marici Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project located across the street from #HaciendaHeights residents. We are also working to oppose City of Industry, REDA, and RCB Equities’ Al data center at the #PuenteHillsMall.

Here is how you can help. 

  1. Follow PHCPA on instagram for updates, rallies, fundraising and educational events
  2. Buy a Jade Phoenix yard sign  
  3. Donate to givebutter.com/phcpa


Tuesday Night Cafe 

It was a pleasure to sell pins, stickers, and zines at this AANHPI event (in Little Tokyo since 1998!) which had a bit of everything: performance art, poetry, pole dancing, music, live painting, anti-data center activism, mahjong, and a punk rock band (The Sacred) with the owner of Funhouse Izakaya next door.

Best of all, in 3 hours, we raised $200! (donations for zines and 50% of sales) Thank you, everyone at Tuesday Night Project!

My friend in Gaza is very grateful but their family troubles are ongoing. Today Noor messaged me that her elderly father is in desperate need of dentures which they cannot afford.

If you can, please donate using the Paypal links above. Our donations help with essential needs, like a cooked meal and new tents after the recent storms and flooding.  

New FREE zines (with suggested donations). You can download these for free here.

Can you help some cats?

This is my drawing of Mono-chan for Sante D'or Foundation's new 2027 Calendar. Buy it here. 

Sante D'Or Foundation is the rescue we adopted our Mambo and Shimmy from. 

Visit Tail Town Cats in Pasadena for MEOWJONG and adopt a kitten!

Holiday Shopping

I can't believe it's almost December.  If you are reading this post and looking for gift ideas, check out my large collection of enamel pins! A custom pet print would also make a nice gift, and don't forget the Mahjong collection. :)
