the answer actually is jan 31st bc my goal is to make a new piece at least once a month this year

saw someone on the skyline say they asked bloomfs to give them a deadline for the creative homework they assigned themselves sooooo

when should my next painting be due?

A work in progress drawing of our lord and “gayvior” taylor swift during an eras tour performance of vigilante shit. The drawing is based on a photo of taylor sitting on The Chair, legs crossed, one hand on her knee, the other holding the mic by the side of the chair. It’s in like 3/4 profile, and is a lower angle where you can see the bottom of the chair and one of the shoes, also part of the stage. Currently taylor has no face but everything else about her person is almost completely rendered. Her hair and right hand are lacking in rendering though. rip taylor. The chair is basically still a sketch atp. You can also see color swatches on both sides of the figure, and there is a thick white outline around the entire figure. The background is currently a dark purple but that will change.

work in progress (obviously)

half of a halved avocado sits in the center of a dusty pink background which gradients from lighter to darker(top left to bottom right). a purple shadow is cast from the avocado. it was painted in an impressionistic style because the artist is a van gogh hoe. zlt combined into one letter signature in the bottom right corner in a light purple. oh yeah, also it’s a square composition lol

zoe sitting on a stage on the floor on top of an in progress penny painting. she is working on the background color, deep in focus. her hair is greasy but we aren’t gonna talk about that.

#bskyart #artist #photography

#januArty day 4: shadows

made this one today in procreate for the prompt 💖 not the greatest and i want to flesh it out more in the future but it’s a bare bones version

#artist #digitalart #bskyart #procreate #quickart

thank you!! i love the whole series of images but obviously didn’t wanna post 100… that would’ve been a lot of alt text writing

A curved piece of light blue paper is in the right side foreground and out of focus. It curves around to the left and comes into focus. As does a thin sliver of paper underneath and to the back. Underneath the curved out of focus part, we see a cavernous hole of deep blue, that is also out of focus, behind wrinkles of paper.

The image goes from a dark blue around the edges to an egg shape where light pours in in the center. There we see a light blue background and the edge of the piece of paper up against it.

#januArty day 3: shapes

2 images from a project i did for my digital photography class last year. we had to take 100 unique pictures of a piece of paper. you couldn’t deface it w/markmaking, but you could fold, crease, burn, wet it, etc.

#artist #photography #bskyart #conceptualart #abstractart

for starting the challenge a day late. sorry for the unclarified statement lol

i was right there with you 🤝

Overlapping, multiple exposure color film photo of a wave crashing onto a wide shot of the beach. Almost exclusively blue, green, brown, and white. There’s a white border around the image.

#januArty #bskyart #artist #pencilart #coloredpencil

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

5 Purple/pink pansy flowers with yellow centers on green stalks and leaves around the space. They are on a periwinkle background which has a slight gradient from dark to lighter in the middle.

this is gorgeous!!

a grid of 9 images. short descriptions as follows going top left across 1. Digital photo of woman in a white dress looking into a mirror while laying on the ground. In the mirror the reflection is of a sheet ghost with the mouth visible through the sheet. 2. Painting of an oil spoil, the oil patch is mostly red, but there are sections of rainbow. There’s a boat in the bottom middle and a bird flying in the foreground at the top. 3. Black and white film photo of subject standing in a clearing in a forest in a white dress. A ghostly echo crosses the front right corner. 4. Black capped Petrel bird laying dead with a specimen tag. The background is a soft orange ombré. 5. Zoe, the artist, standing and smiling in front of paintings and text on the wall. 6. Color film photo of multiple exposures at the beach. Going from a close up of waves to a wider shot of the beach. 7. Black and white film photo, also utilizing multiple exposures. This one is of the intracoastal waterway, showing an up close of marsh grass, a shot of ripples on the water, and a wider shot of the waterway. 8. Painting depicting 7 fish “dressed up” as longish on a sunken submersible site. There are dots above representing a school of fish, as well. 9. Digital photo of subject looking in a mirror in the forest, she is in a white folklore cardigan and a yellow dress. The subject is also holding a smaller mirror in her hand where the viewer can see her face reflected once more. All photos with subjects are self portraits.

really embarrassing here but i didn’t realize the image was so low resolution so i fixed that and here it is again if you want a higher quality zoom lol

i try to zoom in way too often… it’s embarrassing

might be worthwhile to read the alt text regardless! it should add some context if you’re unsure 💖
