FUTURELESS :: FORD

i was sad about missing out on #goblinweek cause of being a depressed wreck for the last 5-8 months, so i randomly snapped and made this in little spurts over the last few days.

he's escaping again. the industrial innovator, internet jester, jewish billionaires for hitler chairman. but he's not really escaping, is he. every form of escape he entertains is his prison. his doors of perception, cleaner than ever, revealed themselves to be the doors to his cell. his reality is being completely distorted yet also made more bright, unbearable, and honest than ever before. he decides he should hurry up uploading his brain to a computer, he can't take much more of this body.

Castles in the sky: the fantastical drawings of author Victor Hugo – in pictures

Although better known for his sprawling Romantic novels The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables, celebrated French author Victor Hugo spent much of his time drawing. A collection of about 70 of his sketches will soon be on display at the Royal Academy in London, in an exhibition bringing together caricatures, travel drawings and landscapes.

Landscape With a Castle on a Cliff, 1857 by Victor Hugo.

With materials as diverse as coffee dregs, ink and soot, he often elaborated upon chance blots to suggest baroque shapes. He also used stencils, lace and folding to create complex abstract patterns, scraping and manipulating the ink, even with his fingers.

In Landscape with a castle he created a stencil and brushed ink over it, to leave the fortress as a white reserve, then added details in pen. The ‘assisted’ accidents of the ink washes and strong contrast of light and dark combine to produce a tempestuous atmosphere.

Black cat sitting in the light is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
On a background with a color gradient of warm yellow and amber tones and bright blue and teal tones, a cat with a dark silhouette is depicted sitting with its back to the viewer and looking away. Shadow and light merge subtly to create a calm and contemplative mood. The scene has a soft, dreamy quality, with the colour gradients blending gently into one another.

Sweeping brushstrokes and splashes of colour suggest a blue sky and green grass. Part of the white paper has been left blank. The picture radiates freshness, liveliness and lightness.

Photographs of Atlantic City Sand Sculpture (ca. 1880–1920)

Photographs from when Atlantic City beaches featured artists ornately sculpting sand.

https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/atlantic-city-sand-sculpture/

#art

This postcard reads, "Sand Artist, showing automobile made out of Sand, Atlantic City, N.J." It shows a large sand sculpture of an early 20th-century open-top touring car. Three figures sit in the car: one in the front seat and two in the back, both wearing wide-brimmed hats. The African-American artist stands beside the sculpture wearing a hat and dark jacket. Several human faces appear at the base of the sculpture.

Handmade art book for my Moon-obsessed toddler 🌕
(Sans cover because their name is on it)
It started as a low effort "I can finish this in one afternoon" project, with finger-painted moon & splotchy stars. But I decided to add the animals so it ballooned into a week-long ordeal.

Acrylic paint, gesso, matte medium & water-soluble pastels on 180gsm mixed media paper.

When painting this abstract landscape painting, I had fun letting watercolor, ink and water flow and playing with the expressive color contrast between the bold red of the barn and the bright greens of the landscape.

🐝 Artist: #FredRushCollins in City: somewhere in #Bayonne France 🇨🇵 10/2024 - Title: "Living is easy with eyes closed" 🙈 (Das Leben ist einfach, wenn man die Augen verschließt.") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #SprayArt #Bee #Abeille
("Le Jour où la connerie est tombée du ciel, rares sont ceux qui avaient un parapluie.") #GoodMorning !

Streetartwall. A small mural of a bee with a message was sprayed onto a bricked-up window. The background is a rectangle in pink. It shows a flying, cute cartoon bee with big eyes looking at the viewer. Above it is a thought bubble with the text: "Life is easy with eyes closed".
Info: This probably means that you live much more simply and at the expense of others if you don't want to see what's going on around you and don't care about anything or anyone else.
The Artist: "The day bullshit fell from the sky, only a few people had an umbrella."

My name is Alexandra. I help build I Write Like, a text editor. Unless one is a tech giant, the chances of people discovering their creation are slim, regardless of how wonderful the creation is. I wanted to change that, so I came to Mastodon.
I’m a writer. I share my short stories and poems, often illustrated with my own art and photography. I'm also interested in #science, #history, and #music.
I’m fairly new here and still learning.

Harlem, Manhattan - Fifth Avenue at 125th Street 🚇…🍃…🎨

#NYC #Art #Photography

A color, wide-angle photograph in portrait orientation that captures a tall brick wall along Fifth Avenue in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan near sunset. The wall rises into a deep blue twilight sky, showcasing a blend of commercial history and modern street art. Four large, rectangular neon signs are mounted vertically on the wall, glowing brilliantly against the darkening brick. From top to bottom, the signs display the phrases "BE KIND" in pink, "BE WELL" in white, "BE SAFE" in bright orange, and "BE LOVE" in vibrant green. The neon light reflects slightly against the inner frames of the boxes, creating a saturated, luminous effect that contrasts sharply with the weathered textures of the building. To the left, a vertical green banner features white lettering that reads "SHOP THE NEW HARLEM EAST." Above and around the neon signs, the wall is covered in layers of faded painted advertisements for jewelry and salons, alongside large-scale grey and black graffiti tags. A white arrow points toward the left on the lower brick portion, while delicate, dormant vines creep up the surface.

Chooms, today I want to proudly show you why the Fediverse is top-notch.

I always wanted to learn to draw, but I never quite managed to create something cool. In the Fediverse, I frequently saw people learning things that seemingly brought them joy, and that motivated me so much that I started learning to create artworks about a year ago. I began with drawing and then moved on to vectors (which suit me better), and thanks to your feedback, I kept improving (at least that's what I believe).

And now comes a twist: thanks to the community, this amazing artwork came to life. I've occasionally posted its development locally on this instance, and everyone who gave feedback has been immortalized in my artwork.

I present to you, Ivy. A street kid from Night City, she helps you with every gig and hangs out with you at the place where the former legends of the CORTEX IMPLANT and HACKERS TOWN gang used to meet!

I spent two weeks working on this artwork, and every minute was a joy! So much fun that you can even get prints to hang in your space - if you’d like.

Picasso vs. Matisse: The Friendship (and Rivalry) That Shaped Modern Art

Were the artists frenemies, rivals, or creative soulmates? All of the above, it seems.

Pablo Picasso 1969.

Picasso appears as an older man with a deeply wrinkled face, intense eyes, and a serious, thoughtful expression.

He is wearing a flat cap, slightly tilted, casting a shadow over his forehead.

His shirt has a patterned design, adding texture to the otherwise monochromatic image.

Musidora: The Bather 'At the Doubtful Breeze Alarmed', also known as The Bather, is a name given to four nearly identical oil paintings on canvas by English artist William Etty. The paintings illustrate a scene from James Thomson's 1727 poem Summer in which a young man accidentally sees a young woman bathing naked and is torn between his desire to look and his knowledge that he ought to look away.
