@sinnahsaint saaaaame. That many berries in such good shape, fallen on a path with no berry bush obviously nearby, and at the edge of light and shadow - at best, someone has dropped their berries. At worst…something terrible has happened to someone, just outside the frame.

AND they dropped their berries

Those and the third possibility of an unsprung trap baited with berries.

No thank you.

These are the goblin fruits they warned us about

Fae trap

If you haven't already heard the sad news, ALL JoAnn stores are closing (it was previously reported that only some stores would be closed).

Important: JOANN GIFT CARDS WILL ONLY BE HONORED THROUGH FEBRUARY 28. If you don't have time to get to the store, use them on the website.

Spreading the word for my fellow crafters, cosplayers, and fiber fans. RIP.

Here is a map of independent fabric stores. I found out there's one literally right next to my work!!! I can go there on my break and pick up stuff (or just look longingly at everything). I know independent stores can't be in every location, especially rural ones, and they have a more limited selection, but it helps and plus there might be one you didn't know about!! support local businesses especially In These Times

Here's a link to the r/sewing post I got this from, including a link to a form where you can recommend any local stores that aren't already on the map.

This map seems like it can no longer be updated, which is a shame, as it does not include Baltimore’s own Handcraft Happy Hour, Domesticity, or A Fabric Place.

if you're in Baltimore, there's also a semi-regular fabric swap that's a lot of fun :^)

To be fair, Andy Warhol would have appreciated Sister Wendy, esteemed art critic nun, coming savagely for him on BBC TV.

I am not kidding. The legitimate hatred Sister Wendy had for Andy Warhol’s art on her show was something else.

I don’t think it was a religious thing. Or him being gay/asexual.

She spoke highly of gay artists on her show.

She just really did not like Andy Warhol and thought he was a hack.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Still watching this youtube channel about what I can only describe as "Dark Classical art" and this one absolutely floored me because I was unaware of it and I want to share it because it changes my perspective on this artist completely.

You might be aware of Louis Wain. If not by name then by his art. He's the artist behind that series of cat drawings that slowly became more and more abstract and bizarre.

This series of paintings of cats are often labelled as a visual representation of Wain's deteriorating mental illness and schizophrenia. Even more so often labelled as "a tragic display of a painter's failing battle with schizophrenia."

The paintings look like this and were painted around the very early 1900s.

Ok got all that?

So here's the thing.

Although Wain did suffer from a mental illness that was strong enough for him to be institutionalized, his mental illness was never diagnosed with clear certainty. Although "Schizophrenia" is so heavily applied to him based purely on how his series of paintings LOOK, despite actual specialists widely disputing this. On top of this, although he did paint the kaleidoscope cat portraits during this time, it was not the only things he painted, and he was quite capable of painting "normal" pictures of cats.

The Kaleidoscope Cat portraits are more images of him experimenting with colour and shapes, something the Smithsonian themselves state on their website.

Wain had actually made his entire living painting whimsical images of cats, often for product adverts, before he was incarcerated and was actually a very beloved artist at the time. When his friends learned of his incarceration, they started a collection of donation money to help transfer Wain to the Bethlam Royal Hospital instead, one of the best mental health facilities of the time. Even the Prime Minster of the time donated, and they raised a large amount of money across England to help him.

4 years later, Wain drew this as his final image which he released publicly

I knew all about "the Schizophrenic cat Guy" but he had always been presented to me as some tragic case of an artist going mad and his skills and work unraveling as he went insane.

Which is why I wanted to share this information which was new to me. And because I think it's important.

DEEPEST AGONY

I decided to do my own list of 30 prompts and I’m going to do a bunch of spooky fan art inspired by Classical Art! I’m determined to finish this challenge 😤 This is Hellboy inspired by “Christ with Sainted Knights” by J.C. Leyendecker✨🔥🗡️ I am so excited about this piece! We have Hellboy holding his destined crown, Liz with her blue flame, and Abe wielding a sword that is slaying Sammael with a fallen Rasputin at their feet.
