just guess

A bit of fun painting my favorite subject tonight.

Every waking moment has been drawing or teaching lately. Here is some inspiration: Recently acquired book—Noriyoshi Ohrai. His brushwork can be so immediate when it needs to be. He has such a range from academic realism to this adventurous sketching with paint. To be this bold and decisive digitally

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

USA I.A. AÍ FILADAPUTA!! USA!! USA BEM MUITO!! TU VAI PAGAR ENERGIA MAIS CARO, E CONTA DE ÁGUA TAMBEM!! USA MAIS ESSA MERDA, USE!!!!

A forma como o pessoal do cinema pernambucano tá abraçando IA é de cair o cu da bunda, embora esperado pela influência do polo tecnológico daqui. Vi agora um poster feito por IA que teria tudo a ver com meu trabalho e de outros artistas locais e fiquei bem triste.

Desenhistas q estiverem em Recife amanhã, irei a uma sessão de desenho com modelo vivo.... posar! Você leu certo hehe. Às 19h30, no Espaço Circular, através do Risco! (www.instagram.com/riscoexperim...) que trabalha a modelagem viva através de performances.

resolved: sandwiches taste better when cut diagonally

Years ago artists came together to boycott Inktober & for very good reason. It’s creator—besides plagiarising Alphonso Dunn—back then was super anti-digital art, excluding entries because they had pencil sketching & was then caught lightboxing all his inks. Genuinely don’t bother with this event.

lets go ghouls

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

Works by Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone, a pair of identical twin sisters who worked (primarily in gouache) by passing their shared illustrations back and forth. Together they illustrated hundreds of ads, logos, and over 100 books, including Dodie Smith’s 101 Dalmations. #historyofillustration

I wanna do book covers

essa semana meu máximo foi bem mais tipo um mínimo

Every other art form i have tried BESIDES comics, is less difficult than comics. Its CRAZY how much work comics is. Its exhausting. Its so much endless labor. On the other hand now everything else feels easier so now i am very powerful like a shonen anime character taking off his limiters.

No. Your friends don't secretly hate you. You're just dehydrated.

“Just be yourself” can sound like cliché and bad advice, because honestly, it goes badly sometimes. It can hurt. Some people will reject you. But the reason it’s worth it is that when things do work out, it’s with people who really like the real you, and that feels so much better than pretending.

Anyway, evergreen

why is gender

Galerinha, eu vou estar ao vivo no canal do @arterevide.bsky.social agora as 20h! Vai ter uma galera massa lá conversando! Cola lá? www.youtube.com/@arterevide5...

Just removed the "No NFT" from my profile because who the fuck cares what that was anymore. Dead feat. Buried.

Whenever I see something “powered by AI”

Ai profile pic? You know the drill. I BLOCK.

Como toda ferramenta de fascismo, a I.A. veio para tornar você incapaz de distinguir a mentira da verdade, borrando fronteiras a ponto de isso ser irrelevante. Fatos não importam. Na pós-verdade, você apenas aceita o que vem e não questiona mais.

tenho um trabalho privilegiado, ganho mais que a média, e mesmo assim uns 90% dos meus problemas seriam resolvidos se dinheiro não fosse questão adoeci de tanto trabalho que peguei e essa semana entrei em parafuso pq tinha chance da pandora ficar internada de novo e sei lá como pagaria o hospital

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

To be fair I don't even think they lied or anything. I often need to remind myself that many people in tech are either from the US or genuinely influenced by the US's dellusional views on "freedom" that somehow involves no healthcare, regular school shootings, and nazis walking around unharmed

now that the dust has settled on the kirk shooting and with the benefit of hindsight and the kimmel thing playing out i sure hope bluesky's leadership is asking itself why their mod team so instinctively behaved exactly the way this fascist administration wanted them to before even having been asked

Yet another badge of honor

I’m not especially compelled by realism in video games, personally

It shouldn’t be possible for me to be this feral for Dracula in every single adaptation but here we are

I know you all already follow @davis.social I’m sure but if you don’t you should! Not only a good, fun, human but such great art. Do your feed a favor and add some Davis!

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth: Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

Perfect, no notes. Just fucking perfect.

a general strike shut down italy on monday in support of palestine & now this is happening. international worker solidarity still has power!!

One of my favorite things about Bluesky is the algorithmic choice. Other socials in the last couple of weeks have bombarded me with aggressive maga videos for seemingly no reason. I never engage or look for that content, but they can serve it up to me whether I want it or not.

🚨🚨🚨 ATENÇÃO ARTISTAS 🚨🚨🚨 nesta SEXTA FEIRA, dia 26 de setembro chega a terceira e última edição do #BRartDay de 2025 !!! Compartilhem, marquem e comentem com todo mundo, vai ser mais um dia pra quebrar a internet com a arte brasileira

A história desse poster é fascinante, link em inglês sharonart.substack.com/p/beware-of-...

Did a spam call write this

Arte não tá aí pra ser um guia de bons costumes, com uma lição no final. As histórias e os personagens não tão aí pra seguirem a sua régua moral E antes que chegue aquele burro, de má fé ou com má vontade interpretativa, isso não é sobre financiar autores que atacam minorias ⚠️👇🏻

In the late 80s-90s there was an absolute explosion of dudes falling into vats of chemicals in media. This was a prophecy. I feel the most recent round of deregulation is ensuring the absolute Tromafication of America.

since english isn’t my first language, this is the thing I instantly think about when I hear « rapture »

Anyone else feel like they are stuck in one of those green bubbles right now?

Reassisti Sussurros do Coração e acho fortemente que é o meu favorito do Studio Ghibli ❤️. Deveria ser mais conhecido e lembrado

Entrevistei Karen Hao sobre o impressionante 'Empire of AI'. O livro se propõe a contar a história da OpenAI, mas é muito mais que isso: quebra a magia da IA e expõe as lógicas arcaicas e danosas que sustentam essa indústria (e já tem seus impactos no Brasil): www.intercept.com.br/2025/09/22/e...
