But tender?

A tryst, even

“Owning” the whole means just seems like a lot... I just wanna frolic more.

I will likely reference Tom Waits a lot. Strap in, that stuff’ll probably kill ya, let’s do another line, what say you meet down at Heartattack & Vine?

Just a dash of the means of production for you

I feel like of all the things we have adopted that have become norms; fascism, racism, homophobia*,* and capitalism. Why is the Oxford so hard?!

How does that work? I actually don’t understand that as a tool. I read the lil thingy, but still don’t get understand.

Oh… no, not at all. Very rough.

Im B.Maries, I’m hoping bluesky can be different by being a place of constructive critique. I want to be honest and kind, in hopes that conversations around art can be more than lil “hearts”. I don’t intend to hate, or troll, just engage differently than other platforms. Hope this finds you well.

This image is nice. Focus and exposure are well executed. I’m just not sure what you’re showing me. The frame doesn’t really have a subject, and there isn’t anything to draw the eye. The colors are interesting, but aren’t carrying enough weight for me to feel this shot is overall successful.

Masters of the Universe

Old grandad 100 proof.

Art is dead. It has been commodified into double tapped hearts meaning “success”, and the safety of the middle has risen to the top. We need more constructive critique! I hope there’s a chance on bluesky!

Damn, I’m ugly. I don’t need this stress.

Yep just like almost all “art” in 2024, commodified, trampled, and contrived to meet the algorithm.

Hell yeah.

Oof. Very nice use of depth. The highs and lows of this really pull me into that depth.

I like this. Good framing. I love the minimal visual tools used to build what could be an expansive narrative. Curiosity is often a good tool to draw me in, a lil mystery, yano?

I’m always surprised with Kodak Gold. This color is stunning. Nice work.

Really like your work. Your composition and ‘decisive moment’ skills are great.
