Me: oh I wish I could get more followers and attention for my art Universe: here, have a stalker Me: ☹️

Did another oil painting. Moved into a new studio so now I have bright bright lights #art

Heart’s telling some tales #art #repost

I was going to complain about instagram removing the ability to schedule posts and was immediately confronted with terrible news about children getting deported in the US... today some perspective does me good I think.

Normalise not dropping heavy weights from above your head at the gym, have pity on my overstressed nervous system

Finally started to play around with the oil paints I bought a few months ago. I haven’t tried oil in over 20 years and it is soooo different to all the other mediums I’m used to #art

Decorated the front and back covers of my sketchbook. Relaxation was needed, and I am hot and tired #art

Another sketchbook finished, enjoy the chaos #art

This pose at life drawing was so difficult and interesting I had to try it three times #art

Been busy with work, so I had little time to do the art thing. I was saving this for a later post (read: the roguish elf and the pink-haired shopkeep from earlier). Potion descriptions in the Alt Text. #potions #artbycarloangelo

Every year my cactus blooms and I am obsessed and in love every time.

Look at this tiny perfect succulent

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

I think she’s almost finished #art

Transformation Last evening, we heard countless toads rustling through the grass, all making their way to the water. Spring has officially begun! ^.^ #art #frog #animalart #natureart #psychedelicart

Sketchbook stuff #art

No thoughts, only frog

Haven’t drawn faces for a bit so… guess who?

I didn’t think art therapy would work for me but colour me oddly surprised

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

Icon vs Artist

WIP

i like being an artist because i have a lot of stupid ideas. then i can turn them into reality and inflict them on everyone else

I AM A FREE THINKER NO GODS NO MASTERS JUST A SERIES OF RICH GUYS WHO I TREAT LIKE AN UNCOMFORTABLE MIXTURE OF BOTH GOD AND MASTER OTHER THAN THAT THOUGH ITS ALL ME BABY

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

If you are an artist struggling with a nagging discomfort or pain when you work. Stop. Go and get that shit checked out and start doing recommended, corrective exercises. It will not get better if you just push through. It will get worse and harder to correct. Please take care of yourself.

Had fun painting an inverted fire
