The bombing of Venezuela is an act of aggression: unprovoked, unjustified and unjustifiable.

FU3L 2BURN Tom Bull OUTPOST Gallery Curated by Benjamin Orlow First visit to OUTPOST in Norwich, strongly recommend this solo exhibition, the artwork created a sense of potential energy and foreboding for me, with the smoke and lighting adding tension, something always at the edge of danger ⚠️ 🙌🔥

During our research into artist residencies over the past year, we realised quite quickly we had to start from the very beginning-what even is an artist residency? Our toolkit delves into residencies and much more follow link in bio 🔗 Image by Fabio Zane, 2019 #Artists #Residency #ArtistLed

When you’re really blown away by a piece of art. There’s a deep inspirational longing, “wow, magic,how did the artist possibly do this?” “Id love to try doing this, but I don’t know how”. That awe & introspective conflict is part of enjoying art. The absence of that feeling is why Ai art feel yucky

This unprecedented slaughter could not have happened without powerful cheerleaders. Hold them to account Unless those complicit in the Gaza genocide are held to account, the brutal consequences will be felt far beyond that shattered land. The ceasefire…

Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

RIP David Lynch. Here’s a cartoon I drew for @lwlies.com to celebrate his 75th birthday a few years ago.

A top 3 film for me, An American Werewolf in London (1981) One of many knock off VHS’s my Dad would bring back from the pub in the 80’s after a few and think it would be appropriate viewing for a 5/6 year old 😂 #AnAmericanWerewolfinLondon #Werewolves

I see things like this and I can't help but think that giftedness was a nice way to tell wealthy American parents that their kids were autistic

Bananas should be expensive. They are cheap because of US imperialism and US backed corpo fascist violence in Central America dating back to the mid 1800s. One of the most miserable and evil fruits on the planet. Before oil, the yanks coveted bananas www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
