:boost_requested: I am looking for a support native pollinators/biodiversity/etc sticker and maybe shirt that actually has entirely US native wildlife (even better, eastern side better yet southeast region). Everything on Etsy has a honeybee on it and Im tired of looking. And just a monarch or main bit being a monarch is too tropey. Help! Boost away! #art#artists#artodon#artistsofmastodon#biodiversity#pollinators
Hmm, only 26 followers after being on Mastodon since November 2022? Ok, here is my intro again: (ex) Full stack web developer with Bread and Roses Creative, full time artist (now) and food critic (currently) with Chuck Eats KC. Kansas City-based web dev since the dawn of browsers (1995). Focus these days is one creative stuff: writing, food criticism, photography, streaming, art, and making fun videos.#Artists#Intros#Writers#FoodCritics#Fediverse#WebDev
Please share with any artists, musicians, writers, or other creatives:
Would you consider signing this letter supporting the Tulane students calling for an end to the genocide as a local musician/artist/creative and share with others? Thank you.
Faith Humphrey Hill is an artist and crafter who creates unique portraits by using drawings to control a specially-hacked old knitting machine. You can follow at:

Everyone who creates forgets certain details about their creations from time 2 time. Most creators in today's time don't initial &/or date their work, etc. These cards are the size of business cards & can be filled out so precious information won't be lost.
Faith Ringgold died on April 13 at age 93. The artist and author was best known for her "story quilts," which have been exhibited in museums around the world and told the stories of Black people. Some of her best known works include "Who's Afraid of Aunt Jemima?" and "Tar Beach," which she later adapted into a children's book— she went on to write a dozen more books for kids. Here's a tribute to her from Smithsonian magazine.
Artist Helen McLaughlin makes videos of how she creates digital paintings of nature, plants and sometimes portraits. The videos explain each step of the process, using timelapse to move from step to step. You can follow at:
I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).
Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.
Starvation as a weapon for ethnic cleansing isn't better than to use pesticides on human individuals. It's inhumane to fight against #HumanitarianAid from #UNRWA, isn't it? If that's not evidence of intentional genocide for the #ICJ, then it must be me who's so confused about @palestine by #USA#MSM
Maybe that's why the cans are mixed up in this vector re#interpretation of a well-known Andy #Warhol#artwork. There's more than a meta-level in this #juxtaposed POP Art if a Zyklon-B can is merged with Campbell's Tomato Soup, isn't it?
I discovered this by chance: Delving Deeper Into Our Visual Language. A mixed-media exhibition for inspiration. https://online.fliphtml5.com/vpxnw/yrzp/#p=1 You should take time for it. A rabbit hole: You find the links to many of the artists. @textilearts@fibrearts
The #WhitneyBiennial begins this week, and Artsy has identified the #artists to watch: “Working in an array of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, film, and installation, the artists in the exhibition examine notions of ‘the real,’ and what reality means in contemporary society where lived experiences are fractured, changing, and drastically varied. The creative interpretations address themes including migration, labor, ecological instability, gender, and identity.”
Having enjoyed Wullschalger's brilliant bio of Monet, I've started reading more #artists bios. Sadly, Alex Danchev, Cezanne: A life (2012) while erudite & filled with interesting detail, fails to really conjure its subject into existence, remaining somehow distant/detached from Cezanne. However, that aside, it offers a fascinating account of the artist & his #art, rejecting an overly psychological approach for a more materialistic one.
#MuseumsWithoutMen launching today, aims to continue the #feminist project of bringing women's work (& other excluded groups) into the sight of gallery goers & those interested in #art.
This builds on decades of work by Feminist art historians, but Katy Hessel, is right much remains to be done.
Since C15th #women#artists have often been celebrated in their own time & then written out of a male-dominated #arthistory which still shapes #museums' collections & hanging.
I've never understood the need for a formal #UI / #UX#designer. I've been doing it since a kid, anyway. and have not been impressed by the output of professionals
“There are some fairly simple, immutable truths that each of us should keep in mind, truths that apply equally to political parties, organizations and corporations alike:
-If you connect it to the Internet, someone will try to hack it.
-If what you put on the Internet has value, someone will invest time and effort to steal it.
-Even if what is stolen does not have immediate value to the thief, he can easily find buyers for it.
-The price he secures for it will almost certainly be a tiny slice of its true worth to the victim.
-Organizations and individuals unwilling to spend a small fraction of what those assets are worth to secure them against cybercrooks can expect to eventually be relieved of said assets.”
And then #AI impersonates them by faking content that sounds, looks, reads like them. Can this be considered a #breach? Fact is, artists' motivation for sharing content that may contain #biometric information is different. :thinking_rms:
