Ruth and the goth baddies they bagged by being autistic

#oc #art #furry #anthro #furryart

Three anthro characters standing shoulder to shoulder on a patterned background. The left is short, slight, blueish-white furred and of ambiguous mammalian species with big ears and a long tufted tail; he is dressed in a mime-inspired black and dark purple outfit with a short dress that exposes his bulge. The middle is a tallish, curvy, androgynous, albino rat with their arms on the others shoulders; they are wearing a revealing red tunic with a loin cloth and tummy window over thigh highs and black panties. The right is a short, broader, green rabbit with lope ears which are over one eye; he is wearing a black bikini with a thick belt and small jacket over it.

An irregularly shaped underground chamber, enclosed by gray concrete. A dark industrial doorway is built into a blue-gray wall, surrounded by thick green pipes. A fluorescent green-white light hangs above the door, which sits on a small rusty metal platform with cross-braced supports. Below, the chamber is partially flooded. To the right, shelves built into the wall support a rusty greenish cabinet with vents, and a brown box with an orange question mark on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The Szechenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest is famous because it was the very first permanent bridge to span the River Danube in Hungary. Opened in 1849, it united the separate cities of Buda and Pest, served as an engineering marvel of the 19th century, and became

I'm happy that my acrylic painting "Black cat on an orange wall" won second place (tied) in the "Push the Edge" contest on Fine Art America in August 2026. Thank you to everyone who voted.

#art #painting #cats #caturday #CatLovers #animals #kitten #AnimalArt #BlackCats #giftideas #BuyIntoArt #CatsOfMastodon #MastoArt #FediArt #FediGiftShop #WhiskersWednesday #abstract #minimalism

A black cat sits on the edge of a bright orange wall and looks to the left, where a row of orange steps leads up to the wall. The abstract background consists of delicate shades of orange and pink. The minimalist composition draws attention to the contrast between the cat and its surroundings. The contrasting colors create a striking visual effect and a harmonious, modern abstract impression. The contrast between the geometric pattern of the orange steps and the soft, flowing orange and pink tones in the background also emphasises the expressive impact of the painting.
Black Cat on an Orange Wall is a landscape-format acrylic painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The color choice is inspired by a warm and vibrant shade of orange, combined with pink, one of my favourite colours. Add to that one of my favourite motifs, a black cat. The result is an expressive, harmonious image that radiates warmth and cheerful vitality.

Modern life is a balance between enjoying the benefits of technology -- electricity, indoor plumbing, using the Internet, driving a car -- and being manipulated by the corporations that control these things.

Privacy: it's rather nice. And it takes work and determination to keep it.

"That's Me" (2024)

by artist and animator Louie Zong

#Art #DigitalArt

The piece charmingly captures a stout, chonky prehistoric wild horse (Equus ferus or Przewalski's horse) stumbling into a cave and gazing up at an ancient rock depiction of itself. It mirrors the iconic Chinese horse and hand stencils found in France's Lascaux Cave.

I actually took the photo this digitally hand-painted image is based on in the garden of our old house in Maryland many years ago. So this sweet little black-eyed Susan is actually saying goodbye to 2013's summer. I can't help wondering if the new owners of our house kept the black-eyed Susans as part of the gardens. I hope they did.

A gentleman and lady greet each other a cordial good morning in front of the Pasteur & Galt Apothecary Shop on beautiful tree-lined Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. The summer sun sprinkles through the leaves creating patterns of shadow and light on the buildings and on themselves. A moment in time, captured and enjoyed by all who visit.

A stroll down the beautiful Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia can reveal to us all kinds of magical moments from the past. Be it the historic residents themselves, dressed in their quaint garb, a shepherd guiding his flock of sheep, or a crimson-dressed fife and drum corp marching through the streets. A visit here is always a delight.

This image is hand-painted, digitally, and very loosely based on one of my own exclusive and original photographic images. Created in Corel Painter with a variety of brushes with a Wacom tablet and the art pen.
