“Our Moon is Out subtly depicts some of George Rodrigue's quintessential subject matter. The painting shows a Blue Dog in a landscape, but its restrained color palette of moody blues, purples, and black, encourages an appreciation for the work's exacting composition. Rodrigue's signature oak tree acts as an anchor on the canvas. Its Spanish moss hangs over the perfectly round moon in the background, and its trunk and branches serve as a backdrop for the Blue Dog's commanding presence. Rodrigue often referred to his paintings as puzzles, Our Moon is Out emphasizes the interconnectedness of each element on the canvas.”

“We Are Facing a Tsunami of Hate”: Amid ICE Crackdown, Unions and Community Groups Call for Minnesota Shutdown in 10 Days Following the ICE murder of Renee Good and an assault on the state by federal immigration forces, a labor-community coalition is calling for residents to refuse to work, shop or go to school on Januar...

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Increasingly I feel like I favor furry because it espouses the idea that humans, for all our mastery over nature, are still animals. We need to nap and wander and frolic and utter strange noises. It is good for us to be weird little guys, which is something society is so committed to stripping away.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times

Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

one thing i want people in the us to consider when they think about whether or not to attempt direct aid towards venezuelans is how powerful a dollar is. in general in LATAM a dollar tends to be super valuable, but especially in places like venezuela and argentina it is HUGE.

I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re feeling. I’m enraged and devastated. Sending so much love your way. Fuerza hermano ❤️

It took nearly all of 2025 to fulfill a promise I made to myself at the end of the last year, but we've arrived. The seal has been broken, I will never again let idealized aesthetics get in the way of realizing a piece of art as pure self-expression.

Gustav Klimt's "Water Castle" captures a tranquil, almost dreamlike landscape with a richly textured depiction of foliage enveloping quaint architecture by the waterside. This painting showcases Klimt's distinctive style of blending realism with decorative, intricate detailing, reflective of his fascination with nature and serene settings.

'Trieste Harbour.' 1907 was an important year for Egon Schiele. He was still a student at the Vienna Academy and had outgrown its doctrines and its tutors. It was the year he first got to know Gustav Klimt, 'through' whom, as he later said, he was to reach his own unique style.

Two watercolor images of a fursuit. One is a closeup of the crotch zipper open, the other shows two figures, one in fursuit one not, with their hips pressed close together

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

Kinda wanna do a traditional art trade except we’re not drawing each others characters we’re drawing our interpretation of each others abstract concepts and vague notions

Stunning!!!
