I knew National Black Cat Day was coming and then completely forgot on the day of because I was so distracted by work. Please accept my late contribution.

Did a paint out with my plein air group at an antique tractor show this morning.

Here's another one from the Oregon coast.

Here was my morning. Just wrapped up at La Jolla Shores.

I’m going to do plein air painting today.

After some trial and error, the technique I’ve settled on for painting cat whiskers is to simply paint with an actual whisker. #catsofbluesky #art

Copic markers & pencil. #art #catsofbluesky #sketchbook

Have any other artists been getting AI generated emails asking to purchase artwork? It’s clearly a scam but I’m struggling to see how it works. This has happened a few times now.

Mossworm has spent the past week finding errors in iDigBio's new AI search tool and criticizing both the rationale and the implentation of AI in this widely used biodiversity database.

Pretty clear to me that one function of the fantasy of pedophilic cabals that’s present in conspiracy theories is to provide an outlet for the rage and despair at indifference and impunity for actual sexual violence.

Seems like a lot of my time practicing plein air is spent trying to make oil paint behave like gouache. I bet giving up on plein air with oils and using gouache instead would not only be easier, but it would also come with the benefit of walking away without a headache from the gamsol fumes.

Great oil texture.

Fanart commission for somebody who wanted Vaporeon in an altoid tin. Oil paint.

Inspired by a trip to the Sierras.

Plein air painting has been driving me kinda nuts so here’s a study of one of my childhood pokemon plushies in a light box.

12x12 oil on canvas panel of a shell I found on the beach. This is the piece that was in the last #invertefest

I have a painting in this.

I took Umbra on a walk this evening. I was too focused on a phone conversation with my mom to realize that I was lingering too long by a window. In that time a millennial couple carried their cat over. It looked like they were pointing to Umbra on the leash and talking to their cat about it?

Lolligagging again.

Hey.

I’m not necessarily saying humans are too dumb to be worthy of our spot at the top of the food chain but I will say that if there were 100 gorillas and one gorilla took 55% of all the bananas the other gorillas would beat that gorilla to death with their bare hands.

Ancient critters

Drawing lions tonight.

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

I think if Cats had been released in 2024 instead of 2019 it would be up for at least 6 or 7 Oscars

Morning all :) ☕️ 🌿 #sciart #entomology #Papilio_machaon #ink

Only or mainly reading books that discourage you from thinking is not exactly fascistic behavior, but it certainly shares a pretty big venn diagram with fascism. Fascism loves easy art with simple morality, and despises art that requires new thought

Called a translator at the hospital for Spanish and got a British man who, after requiring several repetitions from the patient, audibly typed into a translation tool and read the results back with an unintelligible accent.

I wrote about Trump’s non-sentence, and the failure of legal and constitutional remedies to check his abuses of power. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Watching some YouTube video on “what happened to Dick Figures” and I’m interested on seeing what conclusion he comes to because the answer is “Ed went off to showrun Unikitty and then be the story lead on the Mario movie”

Heads up — MailChimp is using AI to automatically convert non-subscribed users in audience lists to subscribed users in an effort to force free account users to subscribe to a paid monthly plan. Plans start at $110 a month, mind you, so my question to you is, what’s a good MailChimp alternative?

Does Trump think “windfall” is a type of windmill? (The piece he links to does not mention wind energy.)
