Painting on a heart-shaped canvas of a red kite's head with beak gaping and fierce look in its eye. Bird of prey, pale minty coloured eye

Remembered I opened this account for arty things and need to stop getting sucked into the quagmire.
So have a feisty red kite I painted for my Valentine this year.

It's my mum's 90th birthday today - what an absolute trooper. Her mahjong peeps made a mahjong-themed cake for her yesterday.

The internet says carpenter bees usually hibernate in empty nest tunnels in wood. Maybe you can offer her a bit of bamboo then pop her outside somewhere safe.

Great analogising. 😆

Home - AG Literary Agency Books to Traditional Publishers Books to TV/Film

Fake literary agency alert: AG Literary. Web domain 17 days old so a bit hard to figure how they sold so many books already 😜 What they're really selling: a "compelling book proposal", provided by a "third-party vendor" aka the actual scammer agliterary.com

this looks like a perfect birthday gift for @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com - time to repost!

Yep, those matte pencils feel harder than ordinary graphite too - it's good because they don't smudge but also means they don't blend...

If you are an artist, or know someone who is, then you know how much love they put into their craft.
This UK artist has been battling a US company who tanked their work. After years, they've almost prevailed! If you can help out, please do! Alex Norris - creator of Oh No Comics

The only problem with acrylic gouaches is they dry very fast, so a wet palette is useful and helps save wasting paint too. You can use a kitchen snap lid container, use a thin sponge for the moisture, and put a sheet of tracing/greaseproof paper on top to mix on.

Hey I made a quick welcome guide to BlueSky :)

There's tons more, but I think these few steps will get you up and enjoying it quickly.

‘Chatoyant’, having a changeable luster like that of a cat's eye at night. I love fancy words.

Mostly graphite on paper washed with iridescent watercolor. 6”x6”. Warming up for a bigger piece, with pretty bloodsuckers… *cracks knuckles*

(Enjoy my Dark Art ;))

I did not know this. I know nothing. 😂
