Apple's new iPad ad hasn't gone down well with creatives, according to @AxiosNews. The commercial showed a massive hydraulic press crushing musical instruments, arcade games, cameras and paint cans, and reopening to reveal just an iPad. "I'm definitely the target audience for the new iPad Pro but this ad is tone-deaf and insulting to artists of every kind," wrote cartoonist James Kochalka on X. "We think of our tools with reverence and respect, and enjoy a healthy dialogue with them. Our tools are like trusted companions on the journey of art." Here's more.

Lily of the valley.

I actually just learned the English name for them, they are called Maiglöckchen in German which means „may bells“.

I will probably delete this toot later.
I have seen AI-generated images containing the same elements (e.g. an AI-generated image with the same amount of cats, two small, and one large white cat with intricate golden patterns, a lotus flower, and a remaining coin at the top) & the same colors in my artwork. I especially mean the right picture in the three-pictured layout.

How should I feel about such situations?

'Complect' (2024)

A new interactive #art installation based on crustose lichen and their interconnectivity.

The drawn lines are weaved from conductive wire connected to Raspberry Pi Picos. They all link together, and the parts speak to one another, with electricity flowing through their protozoan boundaries following their own rhythms and patterns, changing the lights and shadows.

Based on research from a residency at Artlink Fort Dunree (2022-23).

neopossum emojis

so, i'm releasing neopossum emojis!
...v0.5! so, not the complete set!

i've been working on this for awhile, but right now i'm a bit stuck trying to work on them. but, i figure i don't wanna keep this held back, so i might as well release what i've done thus far!

license and attribution files are included in the ZIP, this is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, based on work done by volpeon.ink!

do note: this does come with some emojis specifically starting with "neofox" and "neocat", specifically the ones that snuggle a neopossum. so, this works well if you already have neofox and neocat emojis!

Every year, students around the world submit videos to a "Dance Your PhD" contest. The goal is to "explain your research through interpretive dance."

This year's fabulous winner, Weliton Menário Costa, explores kangaroo behavior & promotes diversity. It is, by far, the best I've ever seen.

My boys & I have been slowly making our way through every Studio Ghibli film. Tonight we watched Nausicaä.

It’s a spectacular movie with incredibly timely themes despite being 40 years old. We loved it. And if you follow me here, you may too. #art #film

I've been trying out some of these lichen drawings with black acrylic paint. I think it interferes with the clear voice a little, but then again it's their voice not mine.

They have so many voices, and they are so different, and I'm not sure how much I'm even involved in this process any more or if I'm just doing what they tell me.

It‘s so funny to me that on all other platforms almost no one sees my posts. And then there is mastodon with no algorithm at all and for the first time I have the feeling that my art isn‘t that bad at all. 💙
