I have nothing good to say about Anthropic just like I have nothing good to say about Muskrat during his spat with the orange man, or any of the orange man's associates when he turns on them. Anthropic knowingly partnered with the pentagon. Their other partner, Palantir,...

It’s Pokemon day so get ready y’all cause I gotta loooooot of sketches

This is the way 👏👏👏

Going to start a morning gouache sketch routine in March. Been busy walking around finding things to paint! 🌸🌸🌸

True since the 18th century.

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

Finished framing this new little painting today. Off to have it professionally photographed now, then the gallery. So pleased with how this one turned out. It was touch and go for weeks. 😅 “Wistman’s Wood Unicorn”, 14”x14”, acrylagouache

before painting (already painted the “face”). Since it’s already small I wanted it to look kind of like a Jawa

Pencil. Paper.

I love when an artist opens an account here and blows us all away. More please.

It's like a textiles' artisan from the start of the industrial revolution saying; "Actually it's great that my unique designs can now be reproduced en masse by barefoot children running scared through a dangerous machine that routinely mangles them for less than a crust of bread a day!"

Yes on teams you need to work fast, but ffs have some values. It isn’t worth doing if you’re choosing automation. And we all can tell you are choosing the soulless path. Ppl choosing midjourney are only impressing tech bros. If anything slow down and take your work more seriously.

This sucks

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Definitely will not watch the State of the Union tonight. Why should anyone? He is a monster and should be pulled out of office today, tomorrow - whenever we collectively decide he has to go which should be now.

Over the weekend this painting sold. I cannot express how grateful I am for those who choose to invest in traditional art. It is a blessing. Thank you!!!

My partner James (Jamie) wrote about Harold and Maude. Such a classic. www.james-baker.com/news/harold-...

Last year I illustrated the World card for @perstephane.bsky.social Stained Glass Tarot, which has been on hold for a variety of reasons, tariffs etc. Maybe soon it can be revived?!! I hope so. Every artist did such nice work! (The last photo is an explainer/symbols of the traditional world card)

I'm slowly running out of books to read, I'd love some suggestions! 📚 I like good world building & character driven stories. Recent faves: Robin Hobb, T. Kingfisher, Scott Lynch.

Because Bud Cort passed away last week, we have been watching some of his movie catalogue. Around the time he starred in “Harold and Maude”, he had a minor role in M.A.S.H. (The movie not the tv show). Directed by Robert Altman) It is horrible. I mean horrible as in racist, homophobic, and misogyny.

Political cartoonists are on fire in this era 🔥 If only we had a real government or you know, a much bigger national strike that isn’t on a weekend.

Turns out Game of Thrones was actually a documentary

Busy working on a new painting, hoping it turns out ok. 🤞😅 I’ve been challenging myself to make more paintings that have landscapes in them this year. 👩‍🎨

Return to the Stars 8x6in Friday on EveryDayOriginal.com Some of your atoms, mostly hydrogen, come from the beginning of the universe. Many more were created in the super novae of ancient dying stars.

We had a hail storm tonight in San Francisco. I’ve lived here 25 years and never seen that. It doesn’t even rain here most of the time. :/

Share your art however you want to share it. The art community is here and the many fans of art. One big thing I’ve learned in my life is not allowing the doubters and haters get to you. But I know it is difficult. 🫂

watercolor is less 'painting' and more of putting down a stroke and going wow i really shouldnt have done that

Ok it's time on the other side of the plant - Happy Year of the Fire Horse! 🐴🔥🧧 #LunarNewYear #illustration #YearOfTheHorse

There is no shocking news this morning. Savoring it. ☕️🫖

Anyway, I’ve been painting mice 🐭

LinkedIn is currently a depressing battleground: artists who choose AI & those who don’t. Have some damn dignity and confidence in your own abilities and voice! I’ve seen artists say things like “I blend cutting edge technology to amplify the height of emotion”, to “I have a seat at the table” 1/2

I can’t scroll around too much these days without getting profoundly depressed. Have a nice weekend everyone. I hope Valentine’s Day is filled with offline compassion and kindness for us all. ❤️

It pains me for all of us but also because Bill Robinson is such a nice person. Why wouldn’t they choose him and instead choose the slop machine.

A little botanical love for your Valentine’s Day tomorrow ❤️

Love this - there’s nothing better than seeing Guaraldi play. ❤️

I have really been floored by the bravery of people in Chicago and Minnesota. Two people lost their lives, children were abducted. People were disappeared. But everyone came out into the streets and withstood the onslaught. It is so incredible. We must show up for our neighbors no matter what.

Some Poe art I did this time last year.
