Man sticker mule is advertising all over YouTube, stealing sticker app’s ad aesthetics and really hoping you forget about the obscene amount of money they’ve donated to Trump and also making a Trump statue. But I remember. We all remember, sticker mule. cbs6albany.com/news/local/s...

Art energy hadn't moved much beyond sketchbook stuff lately, trying to find a bit of a looser flow with my work, be less precious. #sketchbook #art

Sketchbook image of a woman's face done in bright pink tones, her hair and body are stylistically crafted into geometric, flowing shapes like ribbons and water and there are faint daisy patterns behind her. Her face is loosely painted, features faded out except for her nose which is sharper and more detailed.

Sketchbook image of four portraits painted in gouache in various colours. Studies from photos where each image has something of the face faded out, in the eyes, mouth or both. The images are of both men and women.

My new piece 'The Old Oak Spirit', coming Sat 1st Aug on @everydayoriginal.bsky.social Channelling my love of deep cool forests & fairytale damsels on mystic quests. Liked it enough to find a fitting fairytale frame to finish it with! 8 x 6" in acrylic & gouache #art #fantasyart #traditionalart

traditional painting of a woman in a red renaissance dress standing in front of a huge old oak tree, which has small tokens hanging from it's huge gnarled twisted trunk. A small globe of energy is coming towards her outstretched hands as if the oak were communing with her. Mood of the piece is quiet and dark

Photo of an ornate brass frame with scroll worked edges and flower motifs. Inside it sits a traditional painting of a woman in a red renaissance dress standing in front of a huge old oak tree. Around the frame there are a number of fnatastical objects including a raven skull and a mosaic glass vase.

🎉Today is my birthday! 🎉 I would love if you could share my art. I also need help w getting rent paid this month. If you feel like sending a little gift my way, it would be so much appreciated. My shop is also open if you want to pick something up for yourself or a friend! lnk.bio/verdantsculpts

Four tree dragon sculptures planted in pots. From front to back they are colored like the seasons summer (green), spring (pink), autumn (orange) and white (winter). They are sitting in the shade atop a log with a forest in the background.

A photo of a plantlike green fox sculpture lying down, curled up in a patch of grass. He is covered in white accents in the form of leaves and swirls.

A large reclining tree dragon sculpture. Its skin is made of brown tree bark and it's back is covered in green moss. There are leaves on the head and tail tip. He is lying down on a a patch of dirt covered in dry leaves.

Two plant dragon sculptures planted in ceramic pots. They are identical in shape but varied in color. They rear up gracefully with a leafy crest along the neck and the top of the head. The leaf like wings spread out to either side. The green and white coloration resembles a monstera. Each is surrounded by green moss and small ferns. They sit atop a wood surface with a large monstera plant and ferns in the background.

Last year I did a semester at Smart School with Sam Weber that challenged my process in a way I'm still getting to grips with. I've not shared much of the work I did as I'm still figuring things out, but here's one of the pieces I finished. "Echo" watercolour & acrylic 9 x 12" #traditionalart #art

a painting of a very stylised big cat figure, its body curved around the silhouette of a woman, whose arm is in its mouth. Its body is covered in patterns like stripes, spots and circles where the woman's silhouette bleeds into the dark background. She is arched backwards and the lines of her body help outline the curves of the cat's leg, body and mouth

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Hey so moderation chosen and set up for individual posts makes the most sense. But posts get auto-mislabeled all the time, and you think applying an often inaccurate auto-mod to an entire account won't cause more harm than good? You'll mass hide accounts that are posting within rules this way.

This is genuinely fucked up, you are disappearing accounts from audiences completely that have posted nsfw, the majority of people who sign up here don't even know about the default moderation settings. Tagging per post was fine, people preferred it!

I'd appreciate clarification on the acc level moderation. As an artist who does have figurative nudity, but has just one piece mod labelled as both Sexually Explicit & Suggestive in two different posts, I'd love to know if that one piece will mean all my posts will be now hidden by default.

One more #Mermay! Lionfish make for such a good mermaid base. Also trying out a very different palette with the #colorcube again. Handmade watercolour paints in the photo are from Beam Paints, a gift from a friend and are lovely! Base for the gouache used on top.

A curvy mermaid with long lustrous hair is sitting atop some underwater coral looking plants, a bright red gem around her neck. She is poised, looking down, and her fins and hair are stylistically shaped to create pleasing patterns. She is modelled after a lionfish, with long spiky fins

photo of a painting of a mermaid, on top of a table, surrounded by cards with colour palettes on them, the topmost of which matches the painting. The box of the cards can be seen in the background, and two paintbrushes and a rainbow set of watercolour paints set in a half cut log can also be seen.

Hey Melan, and thank you! Sometimes a bit of a classic is what's needed. Yes, this is just regular gouache (holbein I think) on watercolour paper :)

Have to give credit to the colour cube for the palette idea!
