at that stage of linux where i am creating a custom start menu to try and work with the mouse less often.

the sublime joy of ceramics

the dabbing tree lives in my neighborhood

absolutely read the longer description on fa. i've been sitting with this piece for a month, and yes, herrlich.

want to add buttplug.io support to openmw and call it "tamriel rebutt"

New Session Issue 4: Upheaval now live on telnet: issue4.anewsession.com featuring work by: @asterolsen.bsky.social @mbbischoff.com @ultraviolet.gay @jana-aych-ess.bsky.social ...and more! web release coming on Saturday so STAY TUNED!

impossible not to constantly be thinking about Kathe Kollwitz these days. there's her and Goya and a handful of others in one place and then everyone else in another

i love the narrative here, part wizard, part shaman, part fool. the composition and the broken frame and hatching also delight.

as a muralist, this does not particularly surprise me; murals are increasingly corporate/sponsored, with the intent of gentrification and erasing local history; live laugh love in the form of a vinyl wrap. i wonder what the glasgow graffiti scene is like...

Alrighty after months of work, a lot of setbacks, and some breakneck effort the RABBIT MASK PATTERN IS FINISHED AND AVAILABLE! www.paleopanthera.com/masks/rabbit... My patterns are designed for cardboard but play nice with EVA foam and occasionally leather. #cosplay #costume #therian #rabbit.

how it feels when the fried rice comes out well

fried rice really makes me realize just how much i need to improve my cooking technique. -.-

ok, a 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum blended in with a jar of coffee mimics espresso texture pretty closely!

WBB3 WIPs. Still lacking MANY assets; street stuff, people, birds, foreground stuff, lighting, interface, portraits, icons... 😵 It's gonna be like an adventure game, exploration, items, and a keyword based dialog system. Support the project! www.artdecademonthly.com www.patreon.com/WillyBearBeach

at the stage of my culinary journey where i am starting to experiment with xanthan gum. i've been trying to recreate the slight thickness of espresso in drip coffee.

🔺HOW TO ORGANIZE IN THE FURRY FANDOM🔻 Sat, 9PM, Hilton Rm University Current events got you stressed out and helpless? Don't worry, there is actually plenty you can do to help, even as a furry! Please share this hopeful and fully illustrated talk w/your friends @ #furtherconfusion #furcon

Mixed media works by Iranian American artist Asad Faulwell, 2010s-20s, whose practice explores the histories and legacies of colonialism and resistance movements, including women fighters in Algeria.

furry conventions had to develop policies about journalists in our spaces specifically because of frequent hit pieces and other bad faith coverage. when we opposed those efforts, we were called bullies.

I did a recording of The Parting Glass. Its a good song for New Years. www.furaffinity.net/view/63532419/

dear artists migrating from twitter: please treat bluesky more like socializing online rather than a mere advertising space for your brand. most people here opt out of the default recommendation algorithm, and we won't find you unless you are actively talking to people, commenting, and shitposting.

this sentiment is why i have no motivation to continue pursuing funded public art. the money is good for, say, sculpting jesus or republicans, but it would be utterly hollow.

adhd gave me an applebottom???

write what a great use of a novel canvas! i love repurposed art!

do cliffracers attack with their feet or their dick?

the category error most generative AI defenders make is that it doesn't make them better artists, it makes them worse patrons of the arts

making some butter chicken tonight and i've reached that familiarity with a recipe where i can cook it while cleaning, washing dishes, and preparing my taxes

my pet theory is that every company enthusiastically endorsing gen ai slop has become stagnant, fragile, and desperate, sacrificing product, culture, sustainability, and labor in the pyre for one last grift.

went to the crocker museum this afternoon and happened upon this mixed media gem, "foxy" by monica van den dool.

"furries buy and make more art than the fucking medicis and most of it's better too tbqf who gives a shit about some rich duke's portrait of himself with his ugly inbred kids when i can see starfox's butthole in 4k" [email protected]

AMERICAN DREAMING 🇺🇸😴💔 Episode 4 coming soon to www.artdecademonthly.com & patreon.com/WillyBearBeach Featuring music by @devingabriel.com

completed the clove challenge

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

after spending hours virtualizing a copy of macromind director on windows 95, i now fully understand the appeal of linux: computing without being told "no".

i used to be a web designer and developer when companies would hire "web guys". too poor to keep up with the trends, i ended up bouncing back and forth between tech-adjacent jobs and gig work...

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

artists should have tax-exempt status; we are the cultural creators, not churches or corporations or other such middlemen.

if i ever move to socal or nevada, i can tell people that i grew up in skyrim (michigan) and then moved to morrowind

really like the sinister composition of this--the majora-ish sun, and the indicators of a polycrisis police state.

I just uploaded my new original song: The Cost It's loosely based on the story of The Last Unicorn. So I guess this is also my first fanfic song. I worked very very hard on this over the corse of a week while I had covid, so please give it a listen ^^ www.furaffinity.net/view/62860469/

fursuits are inadequate as costumes; if you go to a party, you don't put on your fancy clothes and call it a day. at least wear a human mask.

i still stand by this philosophy, even if the "problem solving" in question is "how do i get these ideas out of my head without anything short of splitting my skull open"

tear in the spacesuit. a piece about C-PTSD, realization that leads to breakdown, and a loss of coping #art #furry #furryart

paper mache is gradually metamorphosing me into the happy mask salesman, but at least i'm back to daily art practice.

love the toned paper, colors, and the textures of the pastel

My favorite part of LLMs has been watching a bunch of people who claim they can "now make art" use them for two weeks to make some drivel that sucks, realize what they're doing sucks, and then silently stop. And the constant barrage of people doing this drowns out the people who ARE making art.

my life is such that i keep getting introduced to obscure vector painting software that was once popular with concept artists this was started in a software called Alchemy, which was introduced to me by Jonathan Vair and finished in Clip Studio #art #illustration

my morning adhd combo: ice water with lemon and mint, spiced sorrel tea, and cold brew with milk and sugar

Really pleased with how these underglaze transfers are going!

If the rule is, "I'll know it when I see it", then any art can be banned at any time, for whatever reason
