A pen-and-ink sketch of a human skull partially submerged in water or surrounded by dark swirling lines. The shading is rough and expressive, using dense cross-hatching and bold strokes to create contrast around the eye sockets and jawline, giving the image a moody and eerie tone.

Grassroots participation, local accountability, and communal connection? Naaah, let’s keep local politics as a career stepping stone or a platform for reactionary populism.

A pen drawing showing a modern, box-shaped two-storey building with tall rectangular windows and double doors at the entrance. The structure has a clean, geometric appearance, with cross-hatching used to suggest shading. In the foreground, a rocky edge borders a body of water where a partially submerged human skull is visible, adding an eerie contrast to the otherwise calm architectural scene.

Coming soon to water supply near you! #artsky #drawing

each filled with seemingly random, abstract markings instead of conventional musical notes. The lines and dots are scattered across and between the five lines of each staff, resembling a chaotic or experimental form of musical notation rather than a traditional composition. The markings are in black ink against a white background.

Abstract black ink drawing featuring irregular, flowing lines and scattered dots on a light background. The composition creates an organic, textured appearance that resembles natural patterns such as wood grain, topographic contours, or erosion lines.

A sheet of music manuscript paper with abstract ink markings resembling musical notes and lines, spread unevenly across multiple staves. The markings vary in density, shape, and direction, giving the appearance of a visual or experimental music composition rather than standard notation.

A pen drawing showing the view through a car window. Outside, a scarecrow stands in the middle of a fenced field, its arms outstretched and tattered. The barbed wire fence and wooden posts create diagonal lines leading toward the horizon, where low hills rise in the distance. The thick, dark outline of the car window frames the scene, giving it a cinematic, slightly ominous atmosphere.

Out in the country #artsky #drawing

A black ink sketch of a human skull partially submerged or emerging from dark, wavy lines that resemble water. The skull has long, messy hair hanging down on both sides, and shading around the eyes and jaw gives it a haunting, eerie appearance. The drawing is on a beige background.

Best not to go into the water. #artsky #drawing

A pen drawing of a mountain landscape with a tall, snow-covered peak rising against a dark sky. At the base of the mountain is a dense forest of triangular evergreen trees drawn with energetic, sketchy lines. A winding path or road curves through the foreground, leading toward the forest. The heavy black shading and rough hatching create a moody, ominous atmosphere reminiscent of classic horror imagery.

Another one. #artsky #drawing

A detailed pen drawing of a large gothic-style mansion with tall, steep roofs, arched windows, and ornate architectural details. The building is surrounded by heavy shading that gives a dark, moody atmosphere, with strong black ink lines emphasizing depth and shadow. A fence or railing runs along the bottom foreground.

An attempt at a ‘spooky’ drawing for the season. Pardon the cropping. #artsky #drawing

A black ink drawing of a triptych-like structure with open doors. In the center is a dark, shadowy figure with a single large eye and elongated features, surrounded by abstract shapes. The side panels contain rough sketches of human-like and organic forms. The drawing style is expressive and surreal, with heavy lines and shading creating a sense of depth and unease.

An improved version of a drawing done earlier. #artsky #drawing

A black ink drawing of a gothic-style triptych with pointed arches. The central panel shows a dark, dripping figure with a single eye, while the side panels feature abstract, elongated human-like shapes. A disembodied arm rests below the triptych, extending outward. The overall style is sketchy, surreal, and eerie.

Wasn’t able to do a drawing yesterday due to attending a gig but here’s one for today. #art #drawing

A pen or marker sketch of an abstract shape resembling a rectangular object with three circular forms inside it, possibly eyes or lenses. Below the rectangle, multiple long, vertical lines extend downward, giving a tentacle-like appearance. The drawing is done on beige or off-white paper with visible pen strokes and shading.

Data centres that focus on water usage shouldn't be allowed in areas that experience drought.

black ink drawing showing a human skull resting on a surface beside a small stack of books. The skull is shaded with hatching and cross-hatching, and the books have abstract patterns and lines on their spines. The background behind the skull and books is heavily shaded in black ink, creating strong contrast.

Another drawing. #artsky #drawing

An energetic black ink sketch of a crow or raven perched on a curved branch. The bird is facing left, with its head slightly turned towards the viewer, and the ink is applied in bold, hatching strokes to create texture and shadow, especially on the body and wings.

Doing this challenge to myself with drawing every day. #artsky #drawing

Grandma’s Cottage feels more like it shares common ground with Boards of Canada or even certain ghost box releases in my view. Of course, I’ve only listened to ‘Memory Box’ so far.

No way to delay that trouble coming every day.

There’s something oddly hauntological about listening to “comfy synth” stuff like Grandma’s Cottage. Homesick for something that was only ever an aesthetic.

Ragebaiting = an update to 'It's a prank bro!"

A black and white scanned image of a 7-inch vinyl record that appears split horizontally into two parts. The middle section is distorted by a band of white, glitch-like lines and scratches, creating a fragmented and abstract visual effect. The record’s label is faintly visible but obscured, giving the impression of decay and digital interference.

A vertical, high-contrast, black and white abstract image. The composition is dominated by distorted, jagged, and wavy black shapes against a stark white background. In the upper left, there are elements that suggest fragmented geometric patterns. The center features a prominent vertical band of black with an irregular, almost glitch-like texture, including small circles and broken lines. Towards the bottom and right, the black shapes become more dense and fragmented, resembling splashes or highly pixelated forms. The overall impression is one of digital distortion, noise, or a deconstructed image.

A cassette dissolving into zig-zags and noise. Scanned with an IRIScan Book, vectorized in Inkscape, and left to glitch into pure black + white abstraction. #artsky

A monochrome, high-contrast image shows an old audio cassette tape in the upper right corner, slightly angled, with its details starkly visible in white against a black background. The tape appears to be nestled among chaotic, abstract white lines and shapes, which could represent branches, grass, or tangled wires. The overall impression is one of grunge or a distressed aesthetic, with elements of nature or organic forms intertwined with the vintage technology.

Ads probably wouldn't be so bad if they weren't run on mass profiling, surveillance or opaque scoring systems that are auctioned off.
