I think I need a Bluesky break. I need to turn my efforts toward other venues for a bit. You can still find me elsewhere if you’re interested—or follow my art blog using RSS. coreyartusimageryinfo.carrd.co www.coreyartusimagery.com/musings www.coreyartusimagery.com/extra/rss

How do we convince publishers to stop doing this? Bibliographies and footnotes matter. They should be printed. Websites decay faster all the time. Especially in an era of huge mergers like the one that created Penguin Random House, where calls for efficiency see pages culled at every chance.

Budget cuts come for us all. My contract with Amtrak is not being renewed and it's up tomorrow. I'll have more time to work on the Map Center but until it's fully off the ground, I'm a GIS analyst with 12 years of experience in ESRI, open source, education and cartography. #gigeconomy #opentowork

For my new followers on Bluesky, keep in mind many of us won’t even see your profile if you have a generative AI profile pic, banner, or regularly post AI images. Subscribing to the aimod moderation list below blocks almost all of it and is fantastic. bsky.app/profile/aimo...

“The Last Day of Summer”, coloured pencil and watercolour, based on the last hummingbird I saw of the season — a young ruby-throated — before they all migrated. #Birds #WildlifeArt

All 30 of my #swordtember 2025 swords in the tiny sketchbook. When I have some free time again I'll assemble the clean, fixed scans on a poster. All swords are from the silent era films. #sketchbook #art

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Rest your eyes and your mind somewhere peaceful for a moment. (And here's the link to this entire series if you need a few more moments 😉: tishamark.com/moments-alon...) Tisha Mark ©2025, They Just Knew, oil, 8"x6" Available: tishamark.com/product/they... #art #painting #bsnm #TraditionalArt

The fountain of Concordia Augusta, Pompeii. The fountain is sited at the junction of the Via dell' Abbondanza and Via Stabiana, an important cross roads in the older part of Pompeii. Inspired by the book "The Wolf Den" by Elodie Harper. #ArchitecturalIllustration #drawing #ArtYear

I’ve reworked one from a few weeks ago (may need a click). Oil on panel, 60 x 80cm #oilpainting #seascape #landscape #coast #irishart www.artachart.com

It's officially Spooky Month! 🎃 Kicking it off with some #hARToween25! Took a little inspiration from old school Halloween cards but tried to keep it in sort of my style. 🖼️

Got this done on my livestream on Tuesday. “Bye Bye Blackbird”, which will soon be a card and a print. #HumanMade with no gAI anywhere in the process. Just me, my iPad, and Procreate. Speedpaint Artist Links #BskyArt #Birds #Birdart #Blackbird #IndieArtist #Speedpaint

Happy October 🦇

Neighbors | #scbwiArtober2025 Day 1: Squash

We finished the Seagull with the wobbly leg on the beach last week during the live stream! You can find the replay on our yt channel! Isn't he cute with his noodly leg?? 🥹 #seagull #livepainting #livestream #birdart #theuglycatstudio #theuglycat #liveart #birdpainting #digitalart #procreate

The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Hollywood actors, directors and writers of being communists or sympathizers.

So, happy October! When Mikleo's witch alt was released, I began painting him every year. This is the first year since that I won't, as I feel like at this point it stifles other ideas. I'll bring this one back instead from 2022. 💙 #Repostober #Art #TalesOf #TalesOfZestiria #Witch

Finally got rid of my Audible account. The latest book in an Audible-exclusive series I was listening to finally dropped, and now I’m done. I’ll be subbing to Libro.fm from here on out. I can live without Audible-only books. Their “streaming” idea is terrible for authors. #Librofm #audiobooks

My October started with me getting cleared for surgery by the anesthesiologist this morning. Hopeful the operation will happen mid-month. I hope to not use the word "surgery" anymore from 2026. Enough is enough, jeez. 💪 You can support me at patreon.com/zhillustrator and ko-fi.com/zhillustrator

Animal Awareness Days for October 🎃👻🍂 Oct is packed full of art prompts and awareness days! Best of luck ya'll! As always, Mark your calendars! Plan accordingly. Google Sheets Webpage Link: tinyurl.com/3vh22kn6 #AnimalDayCal2025 #AnimalDayCal #AnimalArtists

Happy #Invertober! Japanese sea nettle (Chrysaora pacifica) #SciArt #art #invertober2025

This is what happens when you use strontium aluminate when making your white oil paint.

It's windy out today; blustery might be a better word. But that won't keep me inside. I'll put on a jacket and my hat and take a long, brisk walk to see the autumn sights. Autumn Road art print -- stevehendersonart.com/featured/aut... #art #artwork #artsky #blueskyartshow #autumn #nature #weather

October is here! Caw, caw! 🍂

I just want to put out there that my Mastodon account is here: mindly.social/@Coreyartus Jus’ sayin’. I know a lot of folks don’t like that platform, but you never know when you might need it. #mastodon

Tonight's movies: Fiend Without a Face (1958), fairly standard fifties sci-fi but the very late reveal of the creature(s) is 100% worth the wait 😂; and The Flesh Eaters (1964) was a similar experience... standard sci-fi with pretty great creature at the end.

It's now Autumn, and I'm having a Fall Sale on my Etsy shop until Oct 24th! 25% off all of my oil paintings: shiftypumpkin.etsy.com For those who don't like using Etsy, paintings are also available through Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/shiftypumpki... Prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/shif...

When the CEO of Bluesky starts touting AI, it’s time to puke.

Looking for a kid's book for fall? Look no further! 🎃🍂 Mother Aspen is a lyrical journey through the life and seasons of an aspen tree — and all the creatures in the forest with her. 👍🏽 Fun to read! 🍂 Learn about aspen trees! 🐿️ Spot all the hidden forest animals! #kidsbook #kidlit #kidsbooks #fall

Sharing some art for small spaces from my new series of seascapes. (These make sweet gifts btw 😊) Tisha Mark ©2025, Little Moments, oil on Gessobord, 4"x4" Original is available, and I have a maple frame for this one: tishamark.com/product/litt... #art #painting #bsnm #TraditionalArt #ArtYear

Mine starts at $1, and you get the same stuff as the higher tiers, because I want it to be accessible to as many people as possible. patreon.com/reneecarterhall

Got this done on my livestream yesterday. It’s a Red-Winged Blackbird. Soon to be a greeting card and a print! Speedpaint: makertube.net/w/rBSLsDkkEm... Artist Links: coreyartusimageryinfo.carrd.co #IndieArtist #Art #BskyArt #Birds #Birdart #Blackbird

While you should totally check out Joel's books from the San Diego County Library, if you are in a different county or state, ask your library to have them too. Or buy yourself a copy and horde the poems like some sort of word dragon.

Hey! You can now check my books out from the San Diego County Library: sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/79... sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/79... #library #poetry

Well, looks like one of the events I’d planned to be a vendor at is a bust. Four days before the event and not a peep. It was sus anyway. I should have known better. So old school there was no online payment processing nor email. But it was 40th Annual and organized by a legit org, so I trusted.

The Traitor & The Wretch paperbacks are in, and they look ✨AMAZING✨!! Written by @mythjae.bsky.social Illustrated by @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social Cover by @fusspot.rip Coming Oct. 10! You can preorder your paperback or ebook today on our site. www.bonedustpress.com/shop

Wie angekündigt, es geht weiter mit einem der Werke aus der Gel-Plate-Print-Arie. Leider dafür ein etwas zu dünnes Papier erwischt und daher leicht wellig. 'Untitled' #printmaking #gelprint #artyear #abstract #monoprint #contemporaryart #kleinekunstklasse #mixedmedia

Stop for a moment. Listen: do you hear it? It's very quiet, the soft murmur of the stream as it trickles past. So . . . peaceful. Alpine Stream framed print -- stevehendersonart.com/featured/alp... #art #artwork #nature #hiking #oregon #outside #spring #landscape #painting #artsky #blueskyartshow

September 30th / October 1st

#Halloween season has officially begun in #HumboldtCounty

Ridiculous and appalling that Open Ai, amongst other GenAi companies, think they can dictate how THEY use OUR works. No, Open Ai, it should not be authors and copyright holders opting out of your exploitative models. It should be you, Open Ai, asking authors and copyright holders to opt IN.

Huh. Good on Wikipedia! They made a guide to recognize artificial writing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped... #writing #Booksky

Today I go to a new couple friend’s place to enjoy talking about an upcoming artisan fair we’re all doing. Should be fun!! www.figtwigmarket.com #RedwoodCoast #FigTwig #IndieArtist #CraftFair

It was lovely to welcome visitors to my studio yesterday and today. I will also be open Sun and Mon for Cowal Open Studios. It’s been great seeing so many prints going to new homes…..but also having lots of chat about original printmaking! www.cowalopenstudios.co.uk #printmaking #openstudios

Fresh off the easel, this 30"x30" seascape painting is a large statement piece with a soothing vibe. Textured details, clean birch edges. Tisha Mark ©2025, Finding a Kindred Spirit, oil on cradled Gessobord Original is available: tishamark.com/product/find... #art #painting #TraditionalArt #bsnm

I'm at Maker Faire this weekend! This show is always bonkers and so much fun. Here are a few pics of our booth from this morning before it opened. I'll be here again tomorrow. If you're attending, come find me in the Storehouse Building (near the Coke/Mentos Stage) and say hello!
