With the UK #elections coming up, politicians are in full spin (lie) mode. Consequently, misinformation, and its evil twin, disinformation, are rife online.
To save me having to point out each and every time an untrue claim is made, I've created my own lttle response graphic.

#art #history: i promised myself that this year would be the one during which i paid tribute to the revolutionary, frida kahlo (born #otd in 1907), & then i was too busy to do her any sort of justice. not only have i rushed her portrait, but i've also had no time to write up the sort of blurb that she merits. she was a death-defying, genre-spanning communist powerhouse & diego was punching waaaaaaaay up. :)

#art #history: i could never pull myself away from any screen i chanced upon if gena rowlands was on it. from 'the alfred hitchcock hour' to 'columbo' & every collaboration with john cassavetes & peter falk in between, nobody will ever touch her enigmatic presence, her passion, her heart, mind, humour or spirit.

My name's Alex, I design papercrafts and £5+ members of my Patreȍn get a new papercraft to print and build every month.
📅 September's toy is a Whimsical Wizard ready to spread a little magic, everywhere he goes.
This four piece papercraft fits snugly on a single A4 page.
Today is #caturday and that's the theme for my next entry in the #weeklyInk challenge.
I'm really surprised how well all the tools in #inkscape go together in creating such a #lowpoly style image.

Gottfried Mind, The Raphael of Cats
Labelled a “cretin” and “imbecile” in his lifetime, the Swiss artist Gottfried Mind had profound talents when it came to drafting the feline form. Kirsten Tambling reconstructs the biography of this elusive figure, whose savant-like qualities inspired later French Realists, early psychiatric theorists, and Romantic visions of the artist as outsider.
