Um...so I accidentally stumbled onto the UVA law library's collection of 6,000 drawings by courtroom sketch reporter Ida Libby Dengrove, who worked in NYC mostly in the '70s & '80s, & they're kind of...amazing..?? This one is tagged "Clown Attack" (thread) archives.law.virginia.edu/resources/18...

Slept through the night without pain. ❤️ I pulled a groin muscle and I'm not sure if it's arthritis related. Fingers crossed it isn't. My biologic is still working amazingly but at 58 it may be osteoarthritis. I'm planning on attending life drawing today.

Ok so the assignment in my class today was to do irises with a dark background. This took forever to be honest. Not my usual style but I’m glad I tried it. #art #watercolor #watercolour #iris #artist #tombow

Good morning everybody!! Artist: Muratami Yutaka

It’s great people are finally thinking about a 1 day event - but if you want to affect the markets, it takes 3 weeks. If you want to affect the oligarchs, it would probably take a month. We need the union leadership to get on board. @aflcio.org @ibewinternational.bsky.social

TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

This piece is getting framed for a new home.

Submitted my art show proposal, yay! It will be a plein air show, landscapes of Sonoma County. I also went through my flat file cabinet and got rid of a few things. Here’s a little water sketch in my journal. #art #artist #watercolor

If you want to see any life drawing work on this site you have to enable "sexually suggestive" work to be seen by you because uneducated puritans set the AI parameters.

Last pose of the night, a 40 minute one for me. She did this in two sessions with a break in between, and actually another 15 after of the same position, but I had finished by then. #art #artist #figurestudy #lifedrawing #sketch

These is a 20 minute pose. #art #artist #figurestudy #lifedrawing #sketch

My art is getting labeled as sexually suggestive again by the Mormons who are apparently running this place. Here's one that should be ok, unless someone has a back fetish. #art #artist #lifedrawing #figurestudy #sketch

Longer poses, about 5-10 minutes. In pencil. #art #artist #figurestudy #lifedrawing #sketch

Ok, here’s the life drawing haul. I just brought pencils and pens last night. I was tired and didn’t feel like lugging around my whole kit. Plus, my brain was in pencil mode. Here are two quick gesture poses, between 2 and 5 minutes. #art #artist #lifedrawing #figurestudy #sketch

I decided to look into Covid cautious dating. Really, I want to make a friend first for an extended period of time. Wish me luck.

I created this sampler yesterday with one above the other. I’m thinking of framing this and showing it because it turned out interesting. #art #watercolor #artist #ocean

I watched the seminar given by the St. Phoebe Center for Deaconesses on masculinity and the Orthodox Church and it was incredible. I’ll post the recording when it’s available.

Practice with water today. #art #artist #watercolor #watercolorpencil #watercolour

Practice with quick figures in #watercolor. The bottom of the page was last week. The top figures are in "quarter lighting". #art #artist #sketch #watercolour

Some of the LCMS Lutherans claiming the Pope shouldn’t speak out about fascism, but then turn around and fight about who loves Dietrich Bonhoeffer the most….oh, please.

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

Bright Monday: I bit the ears off of a chocolate bunny. Now lying in bed watching the clouds pass by out my tall window. I will be productive soon. Just not yet. 🌸💚☦️🌼🌿🐣 #Brightmonday #pascha #brightweek

Finished this morning: oil on linen, 80 x 80cm www.artachart.com #oilpainting #landscape #sunrise #irishart #paintingthroughgrief

#pascha #orthodox I made it to a Sunday morning service instead of the vigil. Sleeping in was fantastic.

I’m gonna skip the vigil tonight for the first time. I’m in burnout mode and a past- midnight service will send me into serious crash type burnout. We are having a morning Pascha liturgy so I’m aiming for that. I wish everyone celebrating peace and joy. #orthodox #pascha

I'm taking this week off of social media for Holy Week (Orthodox, we are a week after Western Easter this year). I'll post art I make after Pascha. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful week and that all war ends soon, and our president is removed from his position. 25th amendment. 🌼🌺🌻💐🪻🏵️

I've lost about 15 pounds on #weightwatchers! Since Christmas time. I'm going very slowly, doing it healthy. No weight loss shots. The plan is very good now, lots of lean protein, veggies, fruit, whole grains. Low on sugar, processed stuff. I can do this long term, easily.

20 minute pose in pencil. I’m really trying to use all my mediums at this point, wake my self up from 6 years of not doing this. #art #artist #sketch #sketching #lifedrawing #figurestudy

Today’s work: a still life of an amethyst crystal I’ve had since 1988, and a class assignment of a landscape piece. #art #watercolor #watercolorpencils #artist

Ok the labels were fixed. If I have to go through this every time… Back in my Twitter and Facebook days, I would piss off delicate Americans by posting these sketches, then post my icon and church art and piss off a whole another group. My European friends found this highly entertaining. #america

@support.bsky.team Hello, my art nude sketches are getting labeled as "sexually suggestive" even after putting the art nude label on them. This is not appropriate.

My art is getting labed as sexually suggestive. It's not. They are classic figure study poses. I don't do erotica, I have no interest in it. I'm getting angry.

This was a five or ten minute I think. In #watercolor. I’m still getting to know this model’s style at this point. #art #artist #watercolour #lifedrawing #figurestudy #sketch

Great, blue sky is now putting "sexually suggestive" on my life drawing sketches. Even after I label them as artistic nudes. This place sucks.
