Mocknot

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

A graphic posted to Twitter with the final score of the Philadelphia 76ers game. Poor kerning on the retro font has squeezed letters in the word “FINAL” together to appear as if they say “ANAL.”

The word of the day is “kerning”

they don't care about creatives until they need a logo designed, a book illustrated, a song produced, a game made, an advertisement, fashion, toys, movies, tv shows, tech, vehicles, home decor, a new building, jewelry, a package for a product - creatives make this bleak miserable world tolerable.

I look forward to a nationwide outcry demanding he step down from the ticket and resign his senate seat in disgrace for intentionally trying to get his own constituents killed, which is the only rational response to this

a deeply evil individual

They certainly despise art but they do understand it makes money. What generative AI actually "generates" is a new profit margin by reducing pay and bargaining power for artists. It's enshittification as enclosure—set fire to our fields to force artists into precarity as adjuncts to the enshittifier

Y’all my spouse has a deep and confusing love of trashy reality TV, and that is why I’ve now got opinions on the couples of Love is Blind, so help me

There's a bevy of posts circulating of famous sculptures with the question of WHY DON'T WE SEE THIS KIND OF TALENT ANYMORE and the answer is you don't support the arts, assholes. Those artists had patrons. They could work all day to perfect their craft without worrying about food and housing.

Oh and btw the solution to "not everyone has the time to dedicate to art, you classist" is not "AUTOMATE ALL THE THINGS AND DON'T PAY ARTISTS" it's "VALUE ALL LABOR SO THAT PEOPLE ARE PAID FAIRLY AND CAN LIVE AND MAKE ART IF THEY WANT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE"

Character growth is admitting that eyeballing complicated perspective is more hassle than it’s worth and breaking out the ruler at the planning stage #ampainting

Square Painting of the roof of a house viewed from the 3rd floor so eye level, most of the painting is a drippy pink and mustard yellow sky

Oils on panel, 12x12” one of my favorites just because it came out so easily

Oil painting of a evening sky with a storm coming in and with the silhouette of a lamppost in the bottom right corner

Oil painting of the wall of an old factory at night, there’s a lamp in the upper left, the windows are lit but painted over. One pane of glass is blue

Oil painting of a road disappearing into fog, the only color is in red traffic lights

Oil painting of a car on fire at night in front of an old building. Yes this was a real fire, no one was harmed

Alrighty I should probably introduce myself, I’m Celia and among other things I’m a painter, here’s some of my work
