GASP. The Polish National Ballet has posted their gorgeous adaptation of Dracula online! It’s currently playing in Warsaw, but for those of us who can’t magically attend before the 19th of April:

Photo of an intaglio print depicting a young white woman looking up at a total solar eclipse. Copper line etching printed in black ink with a layer of tan paper under the face and head, blue paper for the moon, and a light blue monotype background.

A print from the other night that I'm proud of. Made it for my workshop on intaglio with chine-collé and monotype. 💗

An array of trace monotype prints printed on translucent kozo paper in a gradient of pink to black ink. The prints feature figures interacting with stars and the Sun, and there is also one of a common wood sorel.

More trace monotype experiments from the other day 💖

#printmaking #art #monotype

Photo of a glass tabletop with dark purple and fuschia ink rolled out in a gradient, and two pieces of kozo paper featuring trace monotypes - prints made by drawing on top of the layer of ink. One of the prints depicts a nude white woman with long hair sitting on one knee, with hands facing up in front of her. She gazes up at a star in the sky, and a fluid stream of light drips down from it into her hands and onto the ground below her. The other print is a pattern of fluid-like abstract lines.

Trying trace monotype today ✨️ working with some recent-ish sketches

Moon-Venus conjunction and Earthshine, by photographer Stefano Maraggi. Due to the Earth-Moon distance only a tiny fraction of the sunlight reflected by Earth reaches the lunar nightside, which reflects a tiny fraction back to Earth, appearing dimmer than the portion directly illuminated by the Sun.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Here are some early progress pics ✨️ plus a sketch

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

This dim and distant world is the farthest planet from the Sun, about 30 times farther away than planet Earth.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

A glass tissue box sits on top of a white plinth. The glass is clear, but has a slight bubbly texture to it. The solder has been patina’d to look aged. The tissue reads, “Time heals everything.” The background is also white and the light comes from the right hand side of the image.

had to revisit the exhibition for a quick talking head moment. this light was really nice of the aforementioned white on clear on transparent situation.
