Introduction post!

Hi Bluesky, I'm adorapop - the anxious owner of a very specific skill-set / artist from London (newly living in Glastonbury).

I paint traditional oil paintings of people from pop culture. I am compelled to do this most days.

Follow me please. I'm nice.

My art looks like this:
An oil portrait of Matt Bellamy of the band Muse with red hair, reimagined as the devil.

"Nothing but Dust in an Inferno"

Abigail Morris, The Last Dinner Party

Oil paint on canvas.

After "A Man Consumed by Flames" by Isaac Oliver, circa 1600. #tldp #artsky

The moment where I was in the right place, at the right time, all thanks to @adorapop.bsky.social insisting that if we went all the way to the Isle of Wight Festival, Suede would make it worth our while - and they really did ❤️

The sudden shift from "constant crowdsurfing" to "absolutely no crowdsurfing" in the gigs of the early millennium - do we think that was a collective lack of upper body strength, or just the realisation that being kicked in the head for 90 minutes is actually not fun?

She might be in the space underneath a chest or drawers or bookcase. Sometimes the supports are hollow and I found my lost kitten under one once after many hours of searching. I really hope you find her soon 🤞

Met a man in the hotel lift last night who had just been at his 61st Springsteen gig (it was my 2nd). We bow down to that level of gig going devotion.

I don't think I've shared this painting online before. Seemed like the right day to do it.

Absolutely loving the new Catbear song, a touch of Take on Me, a bit of a British Tegan and Sara sound, short, fresh, easy synthpop - it is very me XD #newmusic Whole ep is a delight tbh.

Five bunnies sit in a row facing a wall, observing a banana taped to it. The middle three bunnies wear small colored berets.

Because it's been a while, here's another painting by me:
