#OTD in 1886.

The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works is signed. The treaty provides authors, musicians, poets, painters, and other creators with the means to control how their works are used, by whom, and on what terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

#books #art #copyright

The Pirate Publisher—An International Burlesque that has the Longest Run on Record by Joseph Ferdinand Keppler, published as a centrefold in Puck, v. 18, no. 468 (1886 February 24). A commentary on the state of copyright laws that, prior to a 1911 treaty, generally offered no protection to foreign authors and works. In the cartoon, hordes of German, Norwegian, French, English, and American authors surround a publisher who republishes their newly-created works without attribution or royalties in a foreign country, as international law then allowed. Of note is W. S. Gilbert, fifth from the right in the front row, as the many unauthorised or "pirate" productions of H.M.S. Pinafore caused him and Arthur Sullivan to première The Pirates of Penzance in America, to at least gain the initial profits there before anyone else could exploit it, and the title and subject of The Pirates of Penzance is sometimes - although somewhat dubiously in my opinion - considered to partially be a reference to the issue of pirate productions of their works. Other authors shown include Mark Twain, Tennyson, Robert Browning, F. C. Burnand, Émile Zola, Jules Verne, Victorien Sardou, Wilkie Collins, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., as well as many others.

Original artist: Joseph Ferdinand Keppler (1838-1894) Restoration: Adam Cuerden - https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2011661385/ by way of http://adamcuerden.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5onmxh

Robin in the Blue is a watercolor painting in contemporary square format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about owls, who are surprisingly expressive!

#art #owls #sketch #DetoxDoodles #inkart #sciart

Sketchbook page of green pen owl drawings. There are 7 owls on the page with various expressions. The largest owl on the top right is standing on a perch. The second largest owl is on the top left on a perch looking at the viewer. On the bottom of the page are various smaller drawings of baby owls.

My wife creates a lot of #stainedglass projects that are a little outside the norm. 👻

Here is one she made before #Halloween to pay homage to Stanley Kubrick's classic #film, The Shining.

Read more details about this piece at https://glass-o-lantern.com/the-shining/.

Follow her at https://www.instagram.com/glass_o_lantern/ to see what she works on next.

Well, since I accidentally nuked all of my old images, I guess this is a good time to make a new #introduction post!

I'm a middle-aged nerd who is running my own #sharkey instance. I make robots for a living, but I also take care of a bunch of cats and am learning how to draw. I mostly draw my own OC, Yomiko, but sometimes you'll see me drawing other things with furry ears and tails.

上手じゃないけどちょっと日本語わかります。

I'm a superfan of #Utawarerumono, but I'm also a fan of retro/quirky/niche JRPGs in general (like #TalesOf, #Ys, and #BreathOfFire), anything that has #kemonomimi in it, #furry media in general, and stories that make me feel things. I've also been playing in and GMing #TableTopRPGs for decades.

Things you'll see me do here:
- Boost art that I like (sometimes spicy but not 18+)
- Post pictures of my #cats
- Post my own #art
- Talk about #VideoGames or #anime
- Somewhat less often, talk about #ttrpgs, #Linux, #programming, or #robots

Streetartwall. A great mural of a coffee-drinking birdman has been painted on a brown wooden fence in a modern naive painting style. The bird has a colorful head and wears a red suit with a white shirt and a black tie. He is sitting casually at a table with his hand on the tabletop and a full cup of coffee in front of him. Above him flies a long, white flag with no text.

🪻Artist: #SLIMsafont / #Slim in City: #Ordes /Rúa Casabella 6/Galicia, Spain 🇪🇸 08/2024 - Title: "Saudade" ("Longing"/ "Sehnsucht") - #Streetart #Art #Artist #Mural #Artist #Painting #DesOrdesCreativas2024

Streetartwall. A beautiful, photorealistic mural depicting a young man with a bouquet of purple flowers was painted on the exterior wall of a three-story building. The background is a pale blue sky with veil clouds. The dark-haired young man has turned his head to one side. He is wearing a white T-shirt, a gold necklace with a pendant and a white chain over it; a tattoo can be seen on his neck. It shows a bird flying out of a branch. The bouquet of flowers starts right next to the tattoo, as if it were growing out of it. The sky, the figure, the bouquet and the light play a perfect role in expressing depth and a calm, peaceful feeling.
Info: The wall by Catalan artist Slim Safont is located in a special place in Ordes, as it stands right in front of the city's municipal cemetery.

Birds in a Winter Forest is a handmade paper collage by artist Karen Kaspar.
In a snowy winter landscape in soft blue tones, three bright red birds sit on bare branches of tall, slender tree trunks that stand out in dark brown against the light winter background. Large white snowflakes are falling.
The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the watercolor background and combined with the watercolor birds.
The winter picture is minimalist and conveys a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Birds in a spring forest is a handmade paper collage in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar.
The picture shows three red birds sitting on slender branches of tall, slender trees. The tree trunks in dark brown tones stand out against the background in bright lime green colors. The first fresh light green leaves sprout from the branches.
The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the background painted with watercolors and combined with the watercolor birds.
The spring picture is minimalist and conveys a calm, relaxed and peaceful mood. The scene has a charming and whimsical feel with a simple composition.
The picture is part of my mini-series of four collages, each showing three red birds in the forest in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Next time you catch yourself saying: 'Fuck. That was stupid. Why did I do that?'

--- rewrite it: ---

'Fuck. That was thoughtless. Why did I do that?'

Then it becomes a problem you can work on vs. a reprimand from a shitty boss.

Be kind to yourself.

A mild chicane in a rail line can be seen up ahead looking east from the bridge to the local cemetery. Although we're in town, you wouldn't know it. There are mountains of yellow in the frame, late-October fall trees surrounding us, remnants of the Great Carolinian Forest, and the rail bed itself lined with Halloween orange and browns. The yellow leaves seem to hold on longest. There's a V-shaped wedge of mottled blue sky in the background, summer's last goodbye wave.

#OTD in 1911.

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre by museum employee Vincenzo Peruggia and was not recovered until two years later.

The theft and subsequent recovery in 1913 led to the publication of many cultural depictions such as the 1915 opera Mona Lisa, two early 1930s films (The Theft of the Mona Lisa and Arsène Lupin) and the song "Mona Lisa" recorded by Nat King Cole—one of the most successful songs of the 1950s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa

#art #painting

The Mona Lisa's vacant place in the Salon Carré, Louvre Museum, after having been stolen in 1911. Above the vacant wall space is Veronese's The Feast at the House of Simon (now in the Museum of Château de Versailles), on one side, Titian's Allegory painted for Alfonso d'Avalos, and on the other Correggio's 'Betrothal of St. Catharine [Catherine] of Alexandria'.

For those lucky to have the means to buy gifts this holiday season, #MindfulSpending is power.

Do we really need more stuff this year, or should we spend on causes that need support?

We don’t stop billionaires by pouring more money into their pockets. Collectively, we can shift the holiday spend to small businesses, small presses, indie #art & #music, etc.

Imagine that.
