Gerda Wegener: The Forgotten Queer Icon of Art Deco

Gerda Wegener was one of the most popular illustrators of her time and the artist who celebrated queer experiences.

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.

A large, rectangular, harsh-looking face mounted on a pole. The face is frowning, craggy, and looks like it is made from tarnished greenish metal. In place of eyes, it has camera lenses. It stands against a mottled neon yellow-green sky, with a blurry city skyline in the background. A tiny red light glows near its upper left corner, while two dark birds perch on top. You probably have one of these in your neighborhood. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

It was almost a competition, each sapling reaching for the sunlight so that it could grow, and grow big. In not many years, the small copse of trees would become a little forest of its own.

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.

art is not content dang it

#PixelArt #Art #Comic #Comics #AnubiArts

A 4 panel comic about art

Panel 1: Anubi is reading a book, when someone comes by and asks her happily "Anubi when will you make new CONTENT??", with Content referring to art in this context.

Panel 2 through 4: Anubi grows a giant hand and extends it behind the other person's head/torso, then proceeds to crush them with it with all of her force. Anubi then continues reading while the other person looks like a chess piece from how badly crushed they were.

Two new pages of the #carnivorousPlant #zine are up! Click the link for the whole thing :)

Edited to replace the second page where I somehow managed to line up the text around the image without realizing I had duplicated an entire paragraph, because I'm sooo professional.

https://tippitiwichet.wordpress.com/bog-monsters-how-carnivorous-plants-do-the-things-they-do/

#sciArt #tardigrade #wetlands #frogs #goblincore #bogwitch #illustration #humanMadeArt #art #wetlands #ecology #nature

Illustration of a pine barrens tree frog on a blueberry branch, with grasspink orchids and a leaf from Sarracenia minor (a pitcher plant). Illustration has the text:

Humans aren’t the only risk these bog loving species must face. While we don’t usually think of fire when we think of wetlands, many wetland species, including some pines, need an occasional fire to help them thrive. While the fire might threaten the animal and insect species that live there, without it they would loose the wetland habitat they rely on.

Bogs and pocasins may get quite dry in spring or summer, and be prone to fires that keep the growth under control. These fires keep low-growing, sun-loving plants such as flytraps from being overshadowed by growing shrubs. Without such fires, the bogs and pocasins would slowly develop into a forest. Because of these fires, the soil has a high ash content. So, even though they are separate from the water table, some minerals may be present from the ash. However, these minerals are used by the moss itself to wage biological warfare in a bloodthirsty struggle for resources.

At the heart of what makes a bog, we find sphagnum moss. Each strand of moss is an individual plant. They do not have roots, just a main stem with drooping branches full of pointed, tube-like leaves. The leaves have large, empty cells that absorb and hold water, soaking it up like a sponge. It can hold up to 20 times its weight in water. This makes it very effective at filtering the water that passes through it, and it has learned to use this to its advantage.

ALT

A chubby little tardigrade in sphagnum moss, with the moss enlarged to show the detail of a branch and cellular structure in the background with the text:

Like many plants, sphagnum mosses have a trick up their sleeves to give themselves an advantage to compete for resources. Slow growing plants like moss can quickly get overshadowed. However, the moss likes acidic conditions, and can even make conditions even more acidic by absorbing minerals plants love such as potassium and magnesium, and replacing these minerals with hydrogen ions. When we talk about acidity, we are talking about that very thing, how many hydrogen ions are in the environment. The more there are, the more acidic it is.

This not only means fewer minerals are available, but what nutrients are left may become unusable. Acidic water may cause minerals to form bonds with each other. When this happens, they are less likely to dissolve in water, so plant roots are unable to pull them up into the plant, starving the plant of the resources it needs for proper metabolism and building of cellular structures. Plants wither from hunger, and their roots burn in the acidity. Meanwhile, the moss thrives.

Most plants can’t survive in this environment but some, such as carnivorous plants, have adapted to fight back. In a mature bog, the moss rises in little mounds or hills. Plants who can handle the pressure find themselves a cozy home with few competitors, and plenty of moisture from what the moss holds. Some acid loving plants start taking over. This can be anything from grasses to shrubs such as cranberry and blueberry, and trees such as black spruce and birch. Orchids love bogs and pocasins, and are often found growing near carnivorous plants.

"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.
