The black on this mug comes from terra sigillata made from a ball of manganese-rich New Mexico clay my friend gave me. After they’re done firing, I lightly sand the exterior of each mug with a fine-grain sandpaper. The handles become smooth and soft to the touch.

An artful, handmade mug by Osa Atoe. It is narrower at the top than at the bottom and is painted matte black and dark red with faded aqua accents. The handle is black, fluid and smooth. There is a white chevron band of decoration along the bottom.

Side view of the same mug. From this angel, we see two aqua Vs pointing up and down at each other and dark red triangles pointing left and right at each other, all converging in the center. The background is black. There are small tactile dotted details as well.

I painted my childhood stuffed animal, Bear, coming out of the TARDIS! This was a challenge to myself to see if I could paint from imagination.

I can paint your plushie! Check it out here: https://www.joyousjoyness.com/products/custom-painted-stuffed-animal-portrait-pre-order-starting-at-300?utm_source=mastodon

Yesterday I tried to answer that age old question: Can I cast a chainlink fence with #handmadepaper?
(The jury is still out)
#Art #ContemporaryArt

Irregular shaped relief sculpture made of light green handmade paper dried on a chainlink fence. The diagonal lines going in one direction are very prominent, but the lines in the other direction are hardly visible.

I was listening to a podcast where the guest argued: when it comes to art, today's AI is like a tool, but in the future, maybe it could be an artist.

As he explained why, it became clear why I disagree with him. He defines "art" as a product that is valued by art critics and by consumers. I agree that AI generated content may become more common and broadly accepted in the future, but I don't think that's a good thing, and I wouldn't call it art!

I see art as more of an activity than a product. An artist does art. Whatever the output of that process is, valuable or not, is also called "art."

Am I saying only humans can make art? Not at all. But to be "art" it has to be self-expression. The artist must have something to say. As long as we are designing the AI, training it, and prompting it, then it will be a tool. Without us it has no initiative, no opinion, and no creative urge.

Magnolia Blossom, 1925, by Imogen Cunningham.

This image shows:
An intimate, almost abstract view of the magnolia flower
Meticulous detail of the flower's reproductive parts (stamens and pistil) at the center
The petals are rendered as luminous, curved forms with subtle gradations of tone
The organic shapes and soft lighting create an almost sensual quality
Exquisite tonal range from pure white to deep shadows

A fortified castle tower—really just a stone cylinder—stands at the top of a very craggy, very sharp hill overlooking the ocean. The sky is a pale greenish color. The tower has two slitlike windows and an open, arched door, and is crumbling at the top. The only signs of life are the two birds flying about the top of it, and the UFO hovering in the sky to its right, glinting in the sun. On the underside of the UFO is a circular opening that is glowing white. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage is sitting on a slender branch. The bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the small bird are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.
Sparrow meeting part one is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
This painting is part of my mini-series of three paintings - Sparrow Meeting One, Two and Three. Each of these paintings shows a female sparrow sitting on a branch. Each of these pictures can be hung on its own. However, the three paintings can also be perfectly combined to form a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.

Quick sketch.

#sketch #artwork #art #drawing

A stylized digital drawing of a white woman with long light brown hair, wearing a white shirt, looking to the side, eyebrows slightly raised, but overall neutral facial expression.

The drawing has sketchy qualities while it attempts to portray skin tones somewhat realistically, with a light-blue color peeking through a top layer of yellowish skin, with some redness in the ears and cheeks.
