i've just had a terrible idea
i present to you the mona lisa:
ok so, for the last few hours i've been making this code that organizes the colors in drawings:
(mostly @metukika's bc her works look really dope and i don't have many like that ;_;)
and these things feel like something that would be sold as a "deconstruction of classical paintings" like the "the kiss" by Klimt, "starry night" by Van Gogh or "Girl with a pearl earing" by vermeer
i can imagine going to an art gallery and finding stuff like this, made by someone who thinks they are so so smart
Ok but this is actually phenomenally cool OP, and a terrific tool for explaining some of the weirder aspects of color theory, especially how to translate color from traditional media to digital.
I'm working on the teaching plan for a digital painting class I'm going to pitch to my illustration school, and I was wondering if you had something I could use to show this concept to the class? (In exchange for full credit and money of course)

I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds. I want to gaze with astonishment at moldy garden fences, I want to experience them all, to hear young birch plantations and trembling leaves, to see light and sun, enjoy wet, green-blue valleys in the evening, sense goldfish glinting, see white clouds building up in the sky, to speak to flowers. I want to look intently at grasses and pink people, old venerable churches, to know what little cathedrals say, to run without stopping along curving meadowy slopes across vast plains, kiss the earth and smell soft warm marshland flowers. And then I shall shape things so beautifully: fields of colour…

So today, a little over ten years after I posted Yesterday, Upon the Stair (heed the warnings, please) one of my favorite people wrote to ask me if it was a story about a tulpa or a egregore.
And, I have decided that after 10 years of declining to say what happened in that fic, I will give the author's interpretation. With the disclaimer that this is not canon, just what I imagined.

just painted an onion on a cutting board and i think it’s the peak of my artistic career
look at her…
she gets stronger!
the full painting is finally complete!
This is giving me emotions that I myself do not fully understand
Maybe you're just tearing up because someone has been cutting onions

early homo sapiens b like help i cant stop making bowls . help i cant stop domesticating plants and animals. help i cant stop developing language and architecture and religion
ok im obsessed w this tag
once in grade 6 I saw a 'pottery making club' in a ditch on the schoolyard- I assume at some point someone realized there was actually good quality clay in the ditch and when I walked up there were about a dozen 12 year olds sitting around the few girls who had brought their water bottles out to mix the clay, and a designated spot to put the finished bowls and tablets, and people going off and collecting sticks to make designs with and i really think that's the natural state of the human race
In elementary school I learned that you can make paint out of certain sedimentary rocks on the playground if you crushed them and mixed with water and at one point I had up to 25 kindergarten through third graders making cave paintings on the underside of the slides

Tardigrade corn maze at Treinen Farm in Wisconsin.
theres something deep about such a small animal being drawn on such a large scale like do they know does the tardigrade know of their own portrait that is comparable to thousands of universes in length on their scale? a portrait drawn by beings that they know nothing about, but whom know so much about them? beings who live in an entirely other world, yet still admire the small tardigrade? admiration enough to give a tardigrade a glimpse of a micro and macro world in mirror, to let the tardigrade feel what is felt by those who know them? im not crying about the tardigrade cornfield, im not

Anonymous asked:
your content is such a good demonstration of how masculinity and femininity aren't inherent opposites -- they're not only able to coexist, they can highlight and compliment each other. traditionally feminine clothes don't detract in any way from masculinity if a person chooses to present as both. the word that usually comes to mind is "elegant" -- it's so delightful whenever you pop up on my dash !
Thank you for your lovely words.
As I wrote on my Instagram post (@awalkonthelightside - go check it out!) earlier...
In recent times lingerie has pretty much always been a female thing. But what really is it? For me it is about accentuating the human form - using details and lines to draw attention to different parts of the body. For me, stockings have always been a way of framing and drawing the eye towards the thighs, for example, and this top perfectly frames the back muscles at work supporting my upper body weight in this position.
Sure the more delicate materials here might not point towards the rough and ready of the "masculine" outdoors man, but in this more intimate setting it works just as well on any form.

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.
