I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

A fun undertaking I've been working on for two months!
A kinetic sculpture of a Geosternbergia flying over the Smoky Hill Chalk formation in the late Coniacian of the Cretaceous.
I've been wanting to have a go at @kayakasaurus 's kinetic sculpture guide that he put up so graciously.

Watching TNG with original commercials is the only way to watch, TBH.

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Something so soothing about playing with a water droplet on a nasturtium leaf in a sunny garden.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

I know I forget to post here all the time but two recent #crochet works. The colourful Koala is mine, the grey one from a colleague (we crochet once per week during our break). We used the pattern from a kit. And a little succulent plant from a free pattern (link below) #fibercraft

5 goblins hold hands and dance in a circle in a field of flowers. In the middle it says STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY

They conspire to wreak havoc on our lives to make life hell on earth for us while they profit off every aspect of misery. Justice can't come soon enough.
It's time for solidarity. Do everything in your power to protect one another. The only strength we have is each other.

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Two colour illustration of Barad Dûr, with Sauron's eye at the top. surrounded with the ring inscription in elvish. the sky is red with sparks and ash floating in the air, the tower is above a fiery chasm. The front doors are glowing red with silhouettes of chains and armouries. A cloud of ash conceals the horizon. This will be a banner and riso print first. Digital prints coming later this year.

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

instantly assumed this was a kaiju situation

Twin Peaks Day

Oil painting on paper titled The Love of Bastet (2022). A dark, symbolist-inspired scene referencing Böcklin and Ferdinand Keller. At the center stands a stylized feline goddess figure, upright and frontal, framed by deep shadows and architectural elements reminiscent of a tomb or sacred threshold. The palette is muted, with warm browns and greens. A decorative gold ornamental border surrounds the composition, filled with intricate intertwined motifs blending Egyptian-inspired lotus shapes and Nordic-style animal forms. The gold leaf catches the light against the darker tones of the painting.

Final version.

A tribute to Ferdinand Keller and Böcklin.

Bastet waits. The rest happens in the gold.

Happy ponday!
There's a suspicious heatwave right now, but today I still managed to freeze like Ponponi.
