There is sooooo much Al slop in Youtube music/ambient circles. I found a great channel that has none of that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzv7...

Check out this sword stuck in a stone!!

Dandelion Acryla gouache

Romancing the Stone is just The Hobbit starring Kathleen Turner.

Me, refusing to trouble my beautiful mind with the comings and goings of heterosexuals:

I'm really happy with how the watercolor version of this sketch turned out 😊 It feels good to be learning new things with every painting!

I love love love reduplication. Knick knack. Kitty cat. Easy peasy. Itsy bitsy. Favorite language thing.

We report about the wind blowing across this week: some days, a breeze, and the rest of the time, a gale. The wind is chasing a cold front, west-southwest veering southwest at night, counterclockwise, ten knots in the morning and seven more in the afternoon. Always going.

Everything is fine. Just gluing my Anne Boleyn paper doll to a lampshade.

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

Tiny child contemplates small chair news at 11.

Great little article from World of Interiors on the reverse/verso of Renaissance paintings, some of which displayed early abstraction www.worldofinteriors.com/story/marble...

I don't think The Odyssey will be good because The Odyssey is a weird, ancient poem irremovable from its context, and every time directors try to westernize weird, ancient epics out of context they utterly crash and burn. But I will pay twice to watch it if Lupita and Elliott make you mad.

I love when I look at something, and I realize there's no way I should be able to tell what color it is. The lighting is all over the place. Too many shadows and highlights. If I tried to paint it, I would use absolutely none of the thing's actual color. But I know what color it is.

Is that who made the Big Table that this video’s Pops can’t handle? (He is laughing, by the way; it’s not obvious at the beginning, but he definitely is)

Robert Therrien is one of my favorite artists. Whatever he was doing (and whatever John Brosio continues to do) is great.

Hmmm. Are you maybe thinking of Animusic? It had the Pipe Dream animation with the homage to Tubular Bells in it, but Animusic was Wayne Lytle's project. I think Mike was probably just inspiration.

Yes. He is my favorite. Every day requires maximum effort not to special interest in front of everyone about Mike Oldfield's music because I would not be able to stop.

If you're scared to share you art please consider Mike, who made this album as a teenager, playing almost every instrument himself, and then had to perform it LIVE ON TELEVISION with much older, more experienced musicians. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYQ...

we all know I have no life, so:

“Chat,

I'll never understand why ghosts are always the size of the person. 1) What law of physics could you, writer, possibly be adhering to 2) Jeff the ghost could be 30 feet tall??? Writer you are missing out

The things you get up to when you're a burned out artist lmao.

This is my favorite Artemis II photo.

Sunset. Calm. Fabric and clay little sweetie #textileart

Did you know if you see something beautiful it's not because it's beautiful but because you've set aside space within yourself for recognizing beautiful things. That's pretty dang hopeful.

I scrolled the entire way through this thread to find this one.

We report as quietly as possible: our expert has just seen a doe, there, between the trees. They tapped us on the shoulder, we turned around, and in this half-second, it was gone. We think it will come back if we stay very still. Our expert generally has trouble staying still.

I could watch The Green Knight 800 times and never be over the cewri. It's not even the decision to include them but how they're filmed. The CG is clunky, which I feel was on purpose. Because it's so obvious compared to rest of the movie. It's almost analog. Like finding a CD-ROM game in the woods.

I sadly never played Rama (I was a Myst/Riven kid), but that soundtrack is a big beautiful love letter to the Roland JV-1080.

Recovering from a migraine. Listening to this beautiful soundtrack while I eat things I shouldn't. youtu.be/7JQTafesDeg?...

This is the art I was talking about FYI

This goes back to my favorite Hobby Horse: in Tolkien, the fear of death is the root cause of most humans’ turns to evil. Númenor fell when even the extra long lives given to them wasn’t enough. The ringwriaths were kings who chose Not Dying over actually Living.

We report at the end of a strange, warm, sunny day. We spent it attempting to reconcile our idea of an early March day with the lukewarm wind we felt on our face. As the sun is setting, the crisp humidity is swallowing half of the thermometer in one fell swoop.

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

Please enjoy pics of my niece holding a pigeon named Homer.

Planetary astrophysicist by day, space artist by night. The year is 2022 & my PhD research inspires me to create a giant multi-spectral Jupiter painting. Oh shit, did I just invent my own style? I decide to leave academia & take a chance on my art.

Lol 💛 I think most people would find this a very annoying thing about me but thank you. It's always from a place of trying to help, at least.

Hey I know it's trendy right now to face your books out on the shelf to show off the covers, but books are not designed for this. Books are designed to be pressed against other books. If you set them face-out they'll warp, and you'll destroy the binding. Friendly tip to save your books.

My brain every time the weather forecast talks about bombogenesis:

My favorite part of Ramadan is the videos of cats at 3-4 am, flabbergasted that their humans are up and eating 😆

Not sure I could trust people who didn't like Bunnicula.

I was watching a travel video, and for a quick second in the video, I spied a beautiful cable-stayed bridge, and I spent the next ten minutes identifying it. It's the SkyBridge, a cable-stayed railroad bridge in Vancouver. Look at this beautiful bridge:

Finally finished this up! It's done in watercolor, gouache, and color pencils. I know I should try to render it in more detail but I'm not sure I want to. I like the texture being able to be textures. Maybe that will change in the future. For now, though, I like it 😅

"What if someone doesn't like what I made?" Ok but what if someone likes it.
