'Ethel King adds the finishing painterly touches to a large specimen of groper in preparation for display at an international exhibition in Dunedin, New Zealand' G.C. Clutton, ca. 1926

I’d go if I lived nearer. Please go in my stead. They deserve it for being a delightful breath of fresh air on here, the otherwise “Well, Actually…” app.

Today’s #ArtAdventCalendar. I did an online “Paint a pigeon” class via Eventbrite.

❓Question please for #Skystorians - has anyone come across examples of people being baptised in punch bowls in 17th and 18th-century England? We've found one in a will ... 🗃️

We've had somewhere around 1200 images posted for #ArtAdventCalendar in the first 3 days and I would guess that less than 50 have been posted without AltText. Platform wide, AltText use is about 20% (apparently) For AAC...about 96% Over 450 artists leading the way. Fantastic job everyone.

free advice: don't get mad at a sick person w/ an unreliable body for not being able to do something the sick person is probs already pretty mad at themselves (really at their body, but internalized ableism is a helluva drug) and managing a mountain of grief from all the other things they can't do

#ArtAdventCalendar No, there was never any chance I’d remember every day.

wife got a timer for all of our christmas lights so obviously thinking of this

Generative AI is a disease! I drew & painted this one myself, thus distributing creative work back to the humans ✊

You Scumbag, You Maggot Just Plain, Simple, Garak

I'm introducing a new game in the vein of Whammageddon. It's called Poguenarok. If, this Christmas season, you find yourself in a conversation with a British man in a football shirt complaining about how the wokes censored Fairy Tale of New York, you get to lamp them. That's the game.

To celebrate the start of #ArtAdventCalendar here's my watercolour of the pesky Wood Pigeon who keeps eating all the bird food! That guilty expression and full cheeks says it all! 🪶☺️ Happy December everyone 🕊️👋 #Birds #Art #BirdArt #Painting #EastCoastKin

Day 1 of #ArtAdventCalendar Translucent Heart, 2025. 3D Lissajous Figures, constructed traditionally from their 2D projections which in turn have been constructed by dividing a circle. #MathArt #SciArt Graphite pencil construction, colored with watercolor pencils, A4 watercolor paper.

As a disabled person, I aspire to be the person the DWP think I am.

#fabulamurina (mouse story) 474 Kalendis Decembris Silvius aurem patris prendit et stridet "vellicatio pugnusque primae diei mensis!" (On the 1st December, Silvius grips his father's ear and squeaks "A pinch and a punch on the first of the month!)

Happy St. Andrew’s Day!

Still among my favorite science memes lol

Stress makes *every single one* of my heath issues worse. UBI would remove most of that stress; I expect everything would get a lot more manageable, to the point I might actually be able to work again.

I have So Much funeral admin (and housework) to do and yet have only managed 30 minutes of art today. This was not that 30 minutes. This is that 30 minutes and 2 previous hours, across chunks of time of various lengths.

it's terMOOOOnal you mean THIS IS YOUR JOB TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, CTD

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.

Relatable in 2 ways

“When you put grid paper in front of an #artist” Love it 🥰 #Reddit #ArtistSky #Artist

Was just absolutely gutshot by the idea that were Sir Terry Pratchett alive and at full capacity today he would have already published the most scathing takedown of AI proliferation.

“I was just following otters.”

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

This is what Peak Male Performance looks like.

Incredible thread.

Reasonable escalation of force: if your sibling is breathing on you, punching them is an improper escalation of force, the proper response is farting on them instead

I’ve been probing the depths of the internet, trying to find a dress / skirt I could wear to Dad’s funeral. So far, I’ve gone from £150 Karen Millen stuff, to £30 Wallis, decided I hate them all, and now have 9 tabs of Punk Rave, KILLSTAR, and Dark In Love open. Then I started thinking about shoes.

this is mesmerizing

I think what would make me happy (other than UBI) would be to work in a museum. Alas, I have no experience, knowledge, or training. I *do* have a love for the absurd, which seems the most important thing, going by @themerl.bsky.social, @bucksarchives.bsky.social, @romanpalace.bsky.social, & others.

Are you a PhD student & interested in using museum collections in your teaching or research? We're running a *free* doctoral training programme for students at any institution to learn about working with collections. Find out more: collections.reading.ac.uk/whats-on/

'Home Turf' is the smallest in my unicorn collection, ideal for a unicorn lover who deserves a really special hand made treat this christmas: buff.ly/ZCQLoxU #unicorn #mountains #unicornart #fantasyart #unciornlover

I tried giving the cats a taste of Domino’s chicken once (after removing all the coating etc). All 3 sniffed it and walked off in a huff. (Their response to Papa John’s chicken was to gag and try to cover it up)

Quick cartoon. I was hoping to stay unplugged this week but I saw some news and had to take a break to draw this out. I think we all needed to see it realized.

New commission finished!! This handsome chap belongs to the wonderfully lovely Megan Bednarczyk. I don’t know what he’s called, but I’ve named him Gary Meownfield.

This was the piece that finally got me to sign up to the Patreon. The cutlery I inherited from my parents is Correct and nothing else is quite right.

Found out an old neighbour had died, her funeral was on November 5th and she was being cremated. I soon discovered who my people were when they also giggled at that too.

britain i swear to fuck just ask the EU to take you back, sure we'll be insufferably smug about it and probably force you to get off the pound because we're feeling like being bastards but at least youll have, like, jobs and any kind of perspective
