#buy more art

[lissafaye]

So I’m not usually a person who buys sports posters or things like that. But, I really love this number series and Charles Leclerc is definitely in my top 3 drivers of all time. So it just made sense to buy a print. 🎨: Ben Labuzzetta

🎥 Lights, Camera, Action 🎬: Behind The Scenes: What Models Say About Working With Renowned Photographer, João de Castro | Ana

Octopus, 2022

“I know my work can be hard for some people to like. And some people will just see bodies. But for those who take the time to understand it, it moves something in them. It’s true that understanding the context of the work can make the difference between interpreting the images as empowering rather than objectifying. The images are edgy, but they never take advantage. They don’t carry any baggage.” ~ João de Castro

João's images portray women in their rawest moments, exploring their true identities, and unleashing pent-up emotions that can only be released in a space where judgement does not exist.

I think one bit of nuance that needs to be added to this is “DRM-free downloadable media is also good.”

Like I have no issues buying music on Bandcamp because once I buy those files they’re mine. I can put them on a disc, I can copy them to as many devices as I want. They are mine as much as if I bought the physical disk.

This is especially important because a lot of artists don’t have the resources to distribute physical media.

Hey not for nothing but this is exactly why I have no trust in digital media "purchases" that aren't physical and also why I am of the opinion that if a physical option isn't made possible then it should be considered morally neutral for me to download a copy for my own digital collection to view when offline.

the girl from the other side ✨ this series gave me hope a million times but simultaneously shattered my heart into the same amount of pieces </3 (flower symbolism under cut)

sticker sheet for anime north 🍀🥧🖤🤍

SPOILERS AHEAD

forget me not - obvious reference to the Black Children and how they eventually forget who they are as they near the end of their "life cycle".

white clover (in coffin) - white clovers typically symbolize innocence.

4 leaf clover - like I wrote in a previous post on my Witch Hat Atelier seasons piece, the 4 leaf clover symbolizes luck and good fortune. Like Coco, Shiva to her loved ones is a symbol of fortune, though to the Inside Kingdom, a symbol of misfortune.

sunflower - typically symbolize strength and warmth, a fitting flower for Shiva, the light illuminating Teacher's dark past.

nasturtium - another flower symbolizing strength, and has strong ties to the "victory" after battle. apparently soldiers used to don them as a sign of a long battle won. fun fact they are also edible (don't take my post for nutritional advice please) (ill probably write a bit more on this topic when my head is more clear)

Get Your Art Fix!

"When photographing an artist, I want to create a work that truly defines them - a milestone in pop culture history. This is an ambitious goal, but it's what I am thinking about when behind the lens. I consider myself a pop culture documentarian." ~ Markus Klinko

"Noel Gallagher, London" by Markus Klinko, 2000

Series: Strike A Chord

Arty-Fact: Celebrities have always been a source of fascination for people around the world. From their fashion choices to their romantic relationships, everything they do captures the public's attention. It is no surprise then, that talented photographers like Markus are sought after to capture iconic moments with their lens.

The acclaimed photographer known for his creative, vibrant shots of some of the world's most famous turned his lens to one particular group of celebrities: guitar players.

Showcasing some of today's most renowned musicians, Markus' "Strike A Chord" collection captures each individual with stunning detail and colour.

Art Progress Timeline

It's hard to see this stuff as it's happening, and it's easy to think you're not making progress, so it's good to do these every once in a while. 'finished dww' is both a personal milestone and an excuse to draw them so small, so tiny, but also the point where i didn't have to split focus between two creative disciplines so could focus on the art. been boning up on the fundamentals this year. i've no formal art education (though i did always want it, life had other plans), so i'm thrilled to see i'm getting to where i want to go. hoping 2025 is a good art year for me too

Finally got a few more pieces up, including the formerly frameless ones in my last post about the art wall.

I mostly keep the door closed now because one of the cats has pica and tries eating things off my croffice floor, so I think I need to expand the left side some more soon, plus I put my armchair in the spot the sewing machine was supposed to go, but hey.

The addition not listed above is the Tepes Family Portrait by Kate Silva (link goes to the Nucleus shop listing).

(and oooooof I can tell I need a level)

So I just finished cleaning my “croffice” (craft room/office) and I think my favorite part right now is that I have a wall across from my armchair that’s dedicated to art. I’m kind of letting the display grow organically, so it’s not “perfect”, but I like it this way.

Two photos taken at odd angles because glare:

Prints purchased from.. (Thank you to everyone listed here!!!)

Signed map of Immoren and High Command poster from my days as a Press Ganger (volunteer game rep) for Privateer Press. (These are the only two pieces that get covered when the door is open and that are “corporate art”, and I’m okay with that)

The Knight, pair of mini prints, and Hugin and Munin from @catbatart

Castlevania poster from Mari (from the Dark Decades Kickstarter back in 2020, but the twitter handle listed there appears to have been changed or deleted in the time since)

Calendario Azteca from an unknown artist in Mexico (purchased in 2005 from a street vendor in Cuernavaca while I was there on an exchange program, so Google is of exactly 0 help here)

Aaravos from @missypena 

And, the two prints I have yet to frame and put up from @abz-j-harding​

(Frames have been ordered! I just wanted to wait until I got the prints in before ordering them.)

I cannot express how thrilled I am to see beautiful things that I truly love every day while I work from home and when I’m working on making things. Up next: putting legs on a vintage sewing machine to go under the Calendario Azteca.
