The Pantone color of the year is actually Pantone 7545: "Everywhere at the End of Time"

When the colors are hitting just so 😚🤌🏻 #oilpainting #artist @bsky.art

If you’re comfortable with misogynists hating -those- women, you need to think really really hard about where that line is. And realize that you are already on the other side of it

Ya’ll I think I’m going to do my first artist marker as Vincent VanGauche in 2026! (And hopefully my second too)

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy-

A Muslim Democratic Socialist who unequivocally supports trans rights just won a landslide in NYC, despite establishment Dems spending millions of dollars trying to tank his campaign Maybe the establishment Dem losing streak is a skill issue idk

Day 3 Nicotine free. The withdrawal is kicking my ass. On the up side, the manic productivity has been great for getting my house cleaned up

this is literally never not accurate

Spiral, Eye of the World

Why did we stop calling people class traitors? We should bring that back

If you see this, post your bird art #art #bird

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

People probably wouldn't celebrate the deaths of horrible people if they had been held to account for their many many many crimes while they were alive.

Happy Jeff Goldblum day! Why is it Jeff Goldblum day? Because I’m posting a painting of Jeff Goldblum I just finished! (Oil on 8x10 board) @bsky.art #oilpainting #jeffgoldblum #thefly #portrait #artist

Torn between becoming inured to the horrors to preserve my mental health and raging against the horrors because JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK

Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement • Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright • OpenAI’s motion to dismiss was denied

I can not stress deeply enough how the concept of fan fiction and fannon helped me understand the religious right.

Hate to do this but can you guys share this tiktok around on that app because a dude is stealing my art and designs and is running a dropshipping scam to steal people's money and the copyright forms are literally not doing their job. I can't let my work be used like this www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMQScQvb/

Being a creative in 2025 is like, okay, time to work: first, let’s have a good cry about all the cruelty we are powerless to stop in the world but not too long, don’t want to drown in despair and alright time to draw my silly little pictures now

Putting chili crunch on all my food just to feel something

Everytime I sit down to paint I have a challenge in mind. An expression or a lighting or color challenge. Something to give it a little spice. Unfortunately this means that I am 100% of the time making things harder on myself than they need to be.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I made myself a logo! #artistsofbluesky what do you think? #artist

I hate AI so much. But more than that- I hate the hype and lies. Large language models do represent a big step forward in certain areas of computing. Specifically in the area of natural language processing. (NLP) 5 or 6 years ago NLP was a brass ring that people were striving for, and LLMs do - 🧵1

Plein aire painting is so wonderful. It is so calming. Just sitting outside and focusing very carefully on something in the distance. I’m pretty sure that’s a kind of meditation #oilpainting #pleinaire #meditation @bsky.art

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

May I offer you a Skarsgard at this trying time? #painting #skarsgard #oilpainting @bsky.art

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

heyhey do you wanna support artists on bsky? how about hitting that sweet sweet 🔁 button. it really helps us out and makes our art more visible to other people who might be interested in following for our art or even buying from us. it's free, only a button to press, and makes an artist's day!

The state of Pennsylvania will not be able to provide SNAP or LIHEAP benefits in the month of November due to the shit down. SNAP is food assistance that keeps people from starving to death. LIHEAP is energy assistance that prevents the people freezing to death. Are we great yet?

Goddamn @theamynicholson.bsky.social COOKED with this FRANKENSTEIN review. Bow down to one of the greats. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Oil pastel hex sign from the sketchbook tonight. Remember to take a break from the horrors to do something creative and nice for yourself #oilpastel #sketchbook

Color/ Figure study! The subject is a lovely model- Olivia Wray. I cheated a bit on the feet but that wasn’t my focus. @bsky.art #oilpaintjng #figurepainting

Ocean cliffs off Western Washington. (Oil on 8x10 panel) What can I say? It’s feeling a little Hoa hoa hoa outside. I’m practicing adding atmospheric depth. Starting to get the hang of it! #oilpainting #artist #art #twilight @bsky.art

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂 So share some of my paintings??

The constant push and pull between “I need to be informed, involved, and acting ethically” and “I need to find a way to function daily without succumbing to the helplessness” is getting to me today.

Local Artist shocked to discover that doing techniques the -right- way actually does, in fact, work better.

HUMAN ARTISTS- use only one piece to convince people to follow you

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection. I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Happening right now. To us. In America.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

DEEP SIGH

My first gallery show!! This summer I was part of an art festival, one of the galleries hosting it invited me to be a visiting artist! I am so unbelievably proud of myself. If you’d like to see them in person (and some incredible work from other artists) I’m at the Fox Clark gallery in Indiana PA
