My favorite thing about having been a nerd as a child is that I actually absorbed and enjoyed facts about science, history, etc. Meaning that nowadays when I watch a cool new documentary or read an article I get to be EXCITED AT HOW THE FACTS HAVE EVOLVED AND BUILT UPON WHAT WE USED TO KNOW

I've been deep diving into Mexican embroidery, and aside from my small but growing library of books, I've been relying heavily on and loving the existence of the digital Commons network because I can be like "What are motifs that set mazahua embroidery apart?"

If you'd gone back to the 90s when my brother and I were watching Daytona with my dad and told us that my brother would be doing media in the pitt for the driver of 43 and we'd get a little wave on the HBO app from him I would have said what's an app and WHAT THAT'S SO COOL

Omg this is so good I missed this! VERY intentional shot lingering on two men grinding on each other Throughout his career Benito has been an ally to the LGBTQ community and has tried to push back against the machismo prevalent in Latin music

We ALL know that's Ricky Martin singing in front of the bananas He's singing "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii," an anti-statehood song that holds up Hawaii as a cautionary tale (as already established, Benito is pro independence)

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I know Ricky Martin was there because he's a Puerto Rican icon, but I really appreciated that Bad Bunny made a pointed choice to give a gay man a moment in the spotlight in his vision of America

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Important to note that bearing witness is something people have done since long before video existed. We bear witness by listening, but sharing the stories, by refusing to let them be distorted or ignored. We do not have to watch execution videos to do that.

Side note I have no patience for folks who don't add alt text to their images, and especially when it comes to art! I am human and often experience a twinge of laziness about it, but the moment I start, I LOVE thinking about how to describe the feel and look of my illustrations.

Unintentional scenic practice; Little Guys Magicking Their World. I've been really enjoying/hating/loving/being inspired by/being challenged by making my pieces more expansive. I wanted to place them in their worlds. Holbein acrylic gouache and caran d'ache neocolor II on bristol or hot press

Photograph of a hand holding a small 3x3 painting with a border of sea green and gold geometric shapes. It depicts a Rosy-magenta skinned musician with curling gold horns. He's draped in a brown tunic with decorative trim, and walks through tall blue grasses in the night. As he plays his flute, bright sigils spin into the starry night, and before and around him small glowing creatures rejoice in the grass

Photograph of a miniature gouache painting in deep greens and textured browns. There is a stack contrast in the lighting that draws the eye to the bottom right quadrant of the painting where small lit candles illuminate a woody and vibrant alcove in a tree base. The glowing candlelight illuminates moss and leaves and rough bark, and reveals two visible tiny green beings. one is sitting to the right, watching as his watch-mate arrives to relieve him of his ember tending duties.
Hand-written below is the title: Watch Change

Miniature gouache painting of a lush green scene dominated by the simple wood and rope swing hanging from the branches above, half hidden by the foliage. standing confidently on the swing with one hand uplifted is a golden creature with fuzzy fur, pointed ears, and starry eyes. They are adorned in ritual markings in greenish golds, and sigils waft up from them.
The title below reads "spirit swing"

In other news from @artescampcreations.bsky.social , I can sit and not talk while painting so work continues on the All Small pieces. 1.5 days to go

Photo of 3 plain 7 inch wood panels side by side, primed and ready for art

Three wood panels side by side, now framed by a paint palette and brush jar. Each piece has now been painted with an underpainting in deep yellow, with a rough sketch of strange creatures parading across the three panels. The sky behind them has been blocked in in a gradient from ultramarine to sky blue, left to right.

The three panels continue to evolve. The right hand panel has had details in green and brown roughed in in the form of forest floor, fern-shapes, and trees framing the creatures, three of which have started to have colors blocked in

The three wood panels continue to evolve, now with all the creatures of right hand panel blocked in - there's a bipedal purple creature with a huge drum, a strange yellow blob with 4 legs and two arms trumpeting at the front, and several more colorful small ones throughout. The middle panel has a large beaked biped holding a pennant. There is a giant lime green form appe appearing in the background, and manykrs beginning to take form. The left-most panel remains sketched out with just sky painted in, and the scene begins to coalesce onto a fantastical parade emerging from the dark woods.
