This one is the last of my coaster paintings available in the Salut! 10 show!! (Alongside some cuties from last year) www.nucleusportland.com/search?q=row... It's an exciting chance to get some original art at a great price!

Red wolf head with jaws open, side view from top of image. White eyes and teeth bared. There is a woman falling from its mouth, her red hair falling from the throat of the wolf and she is side on with a dress from red to white to grey, the skirts of the dress have a pine tree skyline on them

Stylized illustration of an autumnal scene at the famous Institute Pond at the Institute for Advanced Study. Silhouettes of people around the pond observe a strange event in the dark, star-filled water: two orbiting black holes create ripples, symbolizing gravitational waves. Art by Olena Shmahalo for The Institute Letter.

So excited to finally show this!

They’re messy but also very clear about what’s happening! Love seeing different artists sketches. Some are scratchy but crystal clear. Others are an esoteric, eldritch yarn ball

I guess I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by supportive, lovely souls because that attitude seems antithetical to the whole concept of being a creative. But it doesn’t make sense to me in other areas of life either so 🤷‍♀️

We have a massive obsession with WW2 where yeah, sure, we weren’t the worst guys but certainly committed our own sins.

I dunno, it just feels like we are especially good at cognitive dissonance. Probably not uniquely so but something in our culture welcomes it maybe?

We have trained ourselves to ignore any nuance or horrific actions in any situation to paint ourselves as the hero. We’ve not only never collectively dealt with the genocides in our past we’ve treated them as if they were trivial or non existent or only of their time without long term consequence.

Could be nothing but I do feel like there is a connection between the American inability to recognize anything other than cartoonish, obvious evil and our obsession with the idea that we are the global “good guys”.

I just do not understand creatives who exploit other creatives like this. How can it not cross their mind that whatever attitude leafs them them replace an illustrators work could lead to their own replacement as well?

An illustration from a swordtember prompt of “ghostly”. Featuring a young black woman in silver/white armour with cloth accents. She stands with her eyes closed in a gentle yet confident stance as her left hand holds aloft the metal hilt of a sword. A small trickle of blood runs down her thumb as a blade composed of ghosts erupts from the hilt. All around her in swirly motions are ghosts/spectres

Wrong time of year for this one but that's too bad, I like it 🐝

Also! There's a lucky four leaf in there somewhere.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Following my tradition of playing popular games a decade plus after they come out I decided to play the Dragon Ages a few months ago. Maybe I'll paint something for the other game as well, who knows

Here's my elf Warden and Zevran in a quiet moment during their travels after the Blight.

I made a badass writers list, too!! 😎

It's very much a WIP, I know there are folks I'm following I missed, but I wanted to at least get a start on it!!
