This is the portrait that made it into the Victorian Artists Society portrait exhibition which opened yesterday. Thuan, the subject of this painting, joined me for the fun! Two of my art class mates were telling him that he looked just like his painting! LOL!

#myart #art #portraiture anything else? BTW any guesses on what genre I can say this fits into that isn't realism?

#art #soul #grow

ā€œPractice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.ā€

I don't get to the theater often, but thoroughly enjoyed Pixar's Inside Out 2 with my family.

The storytellers did an excellent job portraying changing emotions & our sense of self in an accessible way for all ages.

It also offers an opportunity to start the conversation - especially with children - about how to understand anxiety.

I highly recommend this one. #film #art

Are you an introvert?

Terrific explainer by introverteed.com/blogs/news/anā€¦ #comic #art

1: Holy Crap! You're an Introvert?? But you're always so friendly and talkative and nice to everyone! 2: Despite popular belief, a lot of introverts can be pretty social. The big difference is that it drains our ā€œsocial batteryā€ and we have to recharge after awhile. 1: Cool I get it! So what happens when o your social battery runs out of-- 2: Poof (disappears) 1: Oh. Credit: https://introverteed.com/blogs/news/an-introduction-to-the-introvert-social-battery

An introduction to the introvert social battery

People think that introverts are incapable of basic human interaction and emotion, like we are social recluses because we seemingly don't like to talk and hate everyone.

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.

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?

Six of Coins. Meaning: Charity, Support, Giving, Receiving, Generosity. In the center, we can see a happy white cat goddess decorated with intricate golden patterns and a golden necklace containing one of the six coins. There are two rainbow-colored lotus flowers (on the left open, on the right still closed) on each side. On the left, a small kitten is looking in the lotus flower which is filled with milk. It can see itself mirrored in it. On the right, we can see another kitten looking up to the roots of the flower. In the background, we can see the other five coins shining like stars. They are surrounded by brush strokes which could symbolize the passing of time. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Six-of-Coins-864335708

unnamed, and still: A lichen-led artwork about language, borders and (artificial?) intelligence. Two years into this project and I'm still learning.

If anyone would like to buy a unique drawing or support the work, see more at lichen.shanefinan.org

#art #lichen #fundraiser

An ink drawing of a crustose lichen that looks like a map of a country with county borders. The words 'and you can own us' are hand-written in a computer-like font
A second ink drawing, the same lichen but this time with dark borders on either side and crack-like features. Text this time reads 'a pioneer prothallus binding i'
Another lichen drawing, with a dark river-like shape surrounded by cracked crustose forms, with the text reading 'all of the others have gone so quiet'
A fourth drawing, very minimal, just pen this time. A delicate shape in the centre forms an X-like image that looks like the cracks in a pavement. The words read 'can we name you?'

šŸ‘‘ šŸ°šŸŒæ . Happy Sunday! šŸ™‚ from the Queen of Coins #art #mastoart #fediart
The Queen of Coins card shows a down-to-earth rabbit queen wearing jackalope antlers as a crown. This queen has a good work-life balance. She cares for her family, the rabbit kingdom's business affairs and everybody's overall well-being. Her tree throne and its roots manifest how well-grounded she is with earth and reality. The flower headdress represents how little she needs, gold or precious metals aren't important to her. The flowers on the throne (cherry blossoms - buds to flowers) and on the ground (dandelions - flowers to seed head) transition from spring to summer. It's night. The background shows the vast lands she reigns. In front of the throne, her little ones are gathered; the throne is also their home with room for cozy rabbit holes. It is a secure and wonderful place to grow up and be cared for. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Queen-of-Coins-966934162

'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).

Photograph of an art installation in a room, made up of six near-circular shapes with weaved drawings inside them made from black wire, and lights wired through them. In the background is a library.

Meet āœØ Noble Numbat āœØ. :blobcat:
Inspired by Ubuntu release 24.04 LTS which is scheduled for release in April 2024!
It took over a month to paint this artwork. I made it with my favorite open source tools, Krita & Blender. deviantart.com/sylviaritter/arā€¦ #art #mastoart #fediart #illustration #krita #blender3d
Since numbats are an endangered species (currently ~1000 remaining thanks to reintroducing them into the wild) I thought of a spiritual sacred background. Materials from their natural habitat should appear, like a tree and branches. So it happened in the form of circle weaving patterns. To underline the rareness of numbats I wanted to indicate that this species is very slowly vanishing. Keeping slight gold and silver colors for nobility. The numbat is walking elegantly over tree bark. The fur color transitions from warm to colder colors. Noble Numbat is enjoying the noble time it has been given on this small but precious planet.

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.
