Somebody from Singulart www.singulart.com has written to me. I am notoriously suspicious. Is this a scammy thing or legit? Do any artists here work with them?

An American Robin for Christmas #robin #birds #birdart #christmas

Off to bed after a great day with friends and good food, everyone was relaxed and happy, that's how Christmas should be. 🌲🥟🥃

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

It's nearly Christmas so it's time to shout out to the wonderful art community on Bluesky. We cheer each other on, lift each other up and help each other through difficult times. Thank you! You are the Best! #artistsonbluesky #kleineKunstklasse

Someone is selling AI images derived off of my work, could anyone help report these? The more reports the better www.etsy.com/shop/DecaveI... =_=

Approximately a year ago I wrote that I would so love to be able to knit the #catknitpullover (by Andrea Rangel) and friendly knitters here in Bluesky told me that I can do it and now look at that! 😃 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Der Mann macht, wie jedes Jahr, kurz vor Weihnachten die Steuer und ist ultragestresst. 🤷‍♀️

I drew some demure chickens 💅

Winter King is off to a new home. 🥰

Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar is just a small cloud study I worked on forever ago.

Off to the hairdresser, the fourteen-year-old wants to shock the grandparents for Christmas.

My dad also does very lovely landscapes. I'm especially fond of this Peak District scene which he painted in the 80s while working as a supply teacher in rough Nottingham schools and dreaming about escape. More of his work is on sale here: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

‘These simple things are all we have left to trust…’ Natural Earth pigment paint on found birch bark. Between AI, digital art, and the DoubleTalk of journalists, politicians, and their super rich masters, it’s hard to trust. But apples, these I still have faith in. Day 19 of the #ArtAdventCalendar

The nine-year-old is doing a puzzle and with every piece that fits he yells "Fits!! 😃" The puzzle has 300 pieces.

Happy #WinterSolstice to all! #ArtAdventCalendar

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

Experimenting with a different green hue. Dezadeash Lake. #Watercolour on paper, 8x10 inches. #Watercolor #YukonArt Painting of the day 2124.

Had fun with some line weights and negative space with this painting! It's called "Black Cat in Sweater," and based on a bunch of cute kitties I saw in chunky sweaters. #cat #art #blackcat #painting #catart #caturday

As Christmas orders are now closed, I'm going to post some pieces that I have sold in the past. A wee trip down memory lane. This drawing is a fairy ring of fly agaric mushrooms in mixed media, with a lot of colour pencil. #Mushrooms #drawing #FungiFriends #FlyAgaric #Art #Artwork

Out of all the presents under our tree this year only one is from a bigger company (noise cancelling earphones for my daughter), everything else is self-made, from artists or very small businesses. Feels good. Fuck capitalism.

A glimpse of a ruffled fox, communing with blood wyrms, before setting off on a mission. In the background the Ghost Bear of Hookland, dancing amongst trees🤍🐾🌘

I would paint something but alas....

It’s not officially Christmas until I’ve called a roll of Sellotape a twat. (via @cluedont ) #sellotape #stevemaythe1st
