Midnight Flight - An original “flock of rocks” artwork inspired by nature’s tiny feathery treasures.
This beautiful barn owl just reminds me of Jareth, the Goblin King in Labyrinth - in his owl form…

With silver leaf disc and “stars”

The Wee Owl Art (Scotland) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @theweeowl.bsky.social · 3h

I like to leave a little bit of white paper showing sometimes on a drawing, it makes a kind of paper cut out effect. As you can see I did it with these monarch butterflies...

#Butterflies #insects #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #bsnm

A small drawing of a group of orange and black monarch butterflies in flight with a green background with abstract flowers. The drawing is on white paper.
The name monarch is believed to have been given in honour of King William III of England, as the butterfly's main colour is that of the king's secondary title, Prince of Orange.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.
Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper
5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).

Okay, I'm caving.
If I already did this before don't tell me, I obviously forgot.

I've been particularly quiet, mostly just working on healing my arm up (doing really well) and trying to finish some outstanding comission work. Speaking of.... tiger, getting there.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I’ve mentioned this before, but on time we had a troll influx, a lot of them posted AI, so I saw a lot of their posts while doing @aimod.social labeling.

Lots of accounts with nasty replies to “blocked post” abandoned their accounts within weeks and even days. The non-blocked ones kept trolling.

i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

i think twitter instilled a terrible habit within us that we need to engage with accounts we dislike but you'd be shocked how blocking and not engaging is the most radical thing you can do because not giving an account engagement, just shunning it out of existence, is genuine deplatforming

I don't want a relationship with my computer, my appliances, or my phone. I just want them to function without fuss and certainly without opinions or suggestions.

I have living, breathing friends and family for relationships. Tech bros need to try that.
