On the highest speaker, a nest with a pigeon. Siren Head is extending its left arm, point a finger forward. A pigeon sits on its index.

photorealistic image of part of a painting in a black frame against a dark red or maroon background on which two sugar skulls are imprinted; the upper portion of what may be a heart is to the right of the painting. the painting seems to be include a skull with an old-fashioned hairstyle; the overall vibe is warm

Chambered nautilus! Life sized drawing, the shell is about 8 inches across. This took all day to draw

Harassing you again with this WIP, sorry bluesky 🤭

snap of a spreadsheet with outlined rectangles and several series of numbers, some in boxes, some in rows. This is a worksheet for a WIP framing project where I worked out the initial raw spacing for shadowbox framing for two paintings (shown as two vertical 4x6 rectangles arranged horizontally within the 9.75 by 14.5 (v-h) rectangle). The rows at the top are just values and simple calcs for estimation and proportions. After working through these, I took the measurements and some pix and images to create mockups in Affinity and revision has continued there. Now have the final worked out and the materials, so hope to post a bit about it this year.

Photo of a drawing of mathematical art (descriptive geometry) next to a canvas showing the same drawing in an earlier stage (construction nearly done, no coloring yet). Both show how circles on a sphere containing the North Pole are projected onto lines. By elkement 2024/2026.

I am re-creating my 2024 drawing "Circles to Lines" on gesssoed and sanded canvas!

The construction is nearly done: Six circles on the surface of a sphere, containing the North Pole --> projected onto lines via stereographic projection.

For anybody not familiar, William Mortensen lived a century ago and was one of the first photo sfx guys. He liked creating visual drama and wrote about how to do it. Ansel Adams aggressively dismissed him and his techniques as inappropriate to the art leading to his relative obscurity today.

Working up specific ideas for the face so I can get on to chains, last touches, and finishing the epaulets. Also want to add rotation to the cloche, although that may be pended.

Painting made in Rebelle of a capybara as big as a hill sleeping as fog flows around it. The sun is setting to the left and the sunset colors the sky and fog with bright yellows, pinks and purples. In the foreground is some abstracted forest. The artist's watermark @joyousjoyfuljoyness and signature are on the bottom right.

The first painting in my Capybara Gargantua Collection, "Capybara and Fog"! Where would you expect to find a gigantic capybara with the fog #flowing around it?

Mural by Privet Zdarova
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia

a crow standing atop a pillar dominate a view that grows into a confusing array of lines and color areas at the top and left side. the background around the pillar is a dark bluish gray; the upper area is a curved area of pale yellow partially washed with dull blue-green to the left; it presses down above the pillar and crow and is contained on the left by a dark green diagonal line that runs upward from the crow's head. a tall beige rectangle lies along the left edge left border edge; it is divided vertically by a curved line. the left edge is red and the area to of dividing line is continuous while remainder is affected by overlapping areas. the crow faces left on the pillar, and its eye appears to be the vertex of three lines that project ahead at angles creating a light gray wedge that expands and intersects with the beige area. the upper border is the thin dark green line; it ascends at around 30 degrees. a horizontal line begins as dark blue but fades to a light ochre before fading away near the left edge, and the bottom line is red and the lower border of the wedge. the lower red line stops at the curved line dividing the beige areas, but the horizontal continues through before fading out; the green line quickly extends off the top edge. the crow has a silvery metal band or ring on one leg; the pillar it stands on is a greenish blue with darker green marbling. its capital is largely yellowish green and olive tones. The right side seems to have an ionian style scroll though with some extra mass; the left embellishment and a central one projecting in the viewer's direction are more unsual; the left appearing to be a human eye with a blue iris and the central resembles an insect's head, probably a wasp. all details and features of the capital are indistinct or obscured by the yellow-green material. the lower portion of the pillar appears to be above and amidst a dark sea with white-capped waves and a dark streaky sky above hints at heavy rain
