The Artpocalypse is nigh! @hvon.bsky.social showed us around the Artpocalypse Now! Art Market this morning. We’ll be here at Starbolt in Philly until 5!

Gnoll Warband ‘Girls Night’

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad. Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

I’m at Artpocalypse Now at Star|Bolt in Philly until 5 PM tonight! come check out my fish :) #fishart #artist

ive been feeling a lot of despair at the state of the world, but i’ve found some solace in listening to The Lord of the Rings audiobooks narrated by Andy Serkis listening to the story of ordinary people doing what they can to fight for the good of the world and the people around them. makes me hope

“In some cases, the government appeared to rely on unverified tabloid reports about Khalil. In others, its claims were factually incorrect because of inconsistent timelines and mischaracterizations of his work history.”

'A Touch of Poison' by Clare Sager, cover work for the french translation by Bragelonne.

Reactions like this to brians story show why it's valuable to keep talking about. As artists we are living the situation and assume others are aware, but the truth is most people do not know

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Holy shit, this is a great way to put it You are not a bee. You are a predatory ape. Do you know how much rest and leisure predators need? Apes especially!

fish want me. you want fish. you want fish hanging on your wall #ceramics drop on sept 21, 8pm CT

Quote how you paint dark skin! An older piece (but still one of my personal faves) of fanart for @vianoniomoh.bsky.social Sweet Vengeance (it’s fantastic go read)

Several people told me that going back to physical goods is the solution to getting art around paypros. It's well-meaning, but again, we can't loophole our way out of this. They're coming for everything. We have to stop running and stand and fight. Call your reps and demand protection. Call paypros.

A new dog sticker sheet, an updated cat sticker sheet, and a new fish sticker will all be debuted at Artpocalypse this Saturday! I’ll also have some entirely new items that I’m excited to share :D

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

I love isopods 🥰

I sent my zine to print today and I’m buzzing to start the next one I still have to print the cover and assemble like calm down

i dont need to like certain art, and i am allowed to criticize it i also dont need the government to define and harshly regulate art. there is no way to defend Some free speech without defending All of it. fascists see no difference, and if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile

Whaddya doing Saturday? Come hang with me, @hvon.bsky.social, @dennidraws.bsky.social, & 17 other Philly artists at the Artpocalypse Now! Art market! The venue (Star|Bolt) is gorgeous, & it's a solid excuse to support local artists & get cool stuff. Got ADHD? Get a reminder: luma.com/9wiciy1a

We already have 1000+ reasons to hate """artist""" James C Mulligan (see below), but it was extra enraging to see him stealing and taking credit for the work of actual Bambi artist and all-around Disney legend Tyrus Wong, so here's a mini Ted Talk 🧵

So excited for #hades2 !!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t played yet bc I was waiting for the full release but I did make this Melinoë piece back when it was in early access I love her already and I can’t wait to play it! #melinoe #supergiantgames #fanart

I finally made a dog sticker sheet to go with my cat shapes after three years of people saying “you should do one with dogs people would love it!” i’m very pleased with how they came out but it was much more difficult because unlike cats, dogs have bones #dogart #catart

I wanna do the thing too!

As we enter fall, it's so important that we tell everyone to leave those leaves! Mads Torres designed a poster to help us. Lightning bugs are one of the most charismatic insects we've got. Actions we take to protect them protects many insects! Get some to hang in your neighborhood! Squidfacts.net
