It is a testament to the human spirit that so many artists manage to create in *spite* of the conditions that oppress them,

But that doesn't make the oppression the thing that helped.

When I hear that Frida Kahlo created in spite of chronic pain, I wonder how much more she'd have made without it.

"kindling"

Love does not die at its limit;
It fractures into rage.
It rescinds compassion
Leaving only passion
So that from the ashes of your spirit
Love will grow again.

I keep seeing authors getting duped by AI users pretending to be artists (and then sadly realising it when everyone calls their book AI slop).

These grifters are everywhere and I don't have a solution, but I have a few pointers:

caliginous 🖤

It's getting cold in game :(

Reminder that "degenerate" was a term coined by Nazis to describe art they didn't like and labeled problematic.

Unless you have proof of real world harm, leave people alone and let them draw fucknasty shit. You have block and mute features. Stop making your disgust everyone else's problem.

i close my eyes and believe that you are here

...damn
Anyone been keeping an eye out for a discord alternative? Signal feels a bit odd to use for its (Discords) usual purposes

Sushi cheaper than both
Unrealistic

How is pizza cheaper than a nuggie....

Shades of grey like a lot of things are, imo

I think people are just having fun with it? Idk, I see artists jumping on trends as just community participation and fun. But I also know there's probably folks doing it because they feel like they have to to be relevant, which sucks

Your lighting is inspirational holy MOLY

Would be a good way to keep stuff in one place and easy to find!

I added another one to the page because it was too empty.
It's supposed to be my character Driolu as a fairy, but I don't like the design I did so it'll be changed up again! If I draw her again

Little doodle of @ruskillas.bsky.social ’s babygirl, Alicia 💕

Your art is stunning and elegant ❤️

You described it really well ❤️

“Supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort” is a great argument against cringe culture.

its my birthday today!
if you enjoy my art, sharing it would be the best gift thank you so much!

Reminder that we were doing fine before ICE even existed
Good job Zohran, keep it up

Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'

A digital painting of an ice cube, followed by several hands closed over each other with water pouring from them. Bold text on the art reads: "ICE MELTS".

so don't get too comfortable.

Post-comm pre-bed doodles are fun
I love drawing fairies, I think

I love Anna so much, she's so cute
Her hair always covers the back of her jacket so I wanted to draw it. She loves that jacket.
I love that she wears that paper crown with it too, it's perfect
I love my little princess haha
(I didn't get a photo of that specific outfit, I'll do it next time I play!)
