“If you didn’t want your art stolen/scraped by ai, you shouldn’t have posted it on the internet” Oh my gosh you’re right, from now on I’ll hang my art on the bulletin board in the town square, and hope I get patronage from the local wealthy art-loving benefactor, my bad 😔

If you see this QRP with your animal painting 🐾🎨 I draw cats far & away the most frequently. But I've been sharing a lot of cats recently so I thought I’d share some other animal art that I haven't posted here on Bluesky yet #art #artsky #animals #pig #78tarot #orangutan #lifeofpi #dog #bird

Page of Pentacles for the 78 Tarot Animal deck - Red-orange pig rooting with her nose in the dirt, at the base of an oak tree. It is very early Spring with snowdrop flowers emerging from patches of melting snow. An acorn with a pentacle on it is laying nearby.

Life of Pi - My entry for an illustration contest to work on an illustrated copy of the book. Scared and sad looking orangutan (named Orange Juice) floating on a net bag full of bunches of bananas in the middle of the ocean. Some spiders have also taken refuge on the makeshift raft.

Goldie in the Snow - Smiling Yellow Lab dog rolling around on his back in the snow

Bluebird of Happiness - A bright bluebird perched on a mustard plant, singing. There are yellow rays of light shining out around his head.

TY for the artshare! Just recently finished this one so it's a perfect time for a starry sky ⭐

A woman with long dark hair floats weightlessly over a glowing blue ripple of water suspended in a starry night sky. A strip of cloth swirls about her somewhat in homage to Bouguereau's "Evening Mood".

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
