About my trip and my artist's talk in San Juan, Puerto Rico
I created an illustration of the arms awarded by Spain to the garrison regiment that defended San Juan during the British siege of 1797.

The illustration only existed in black and white: the color version had been lost.

The CASE Act passes the house! Here's more about the CASE act.
The CASE act aims to make it easier and more affordable for artists and copyright holders to assert authorship rights if their work is infringed. They could go to small-claims court or a regional court to file a dispute. I still hope that it's a long time before I have to go to battle for my rights as a creator, but I'm grateful that there are other organizations campaigning to make the process easier for creatives like me.
