And here I was, hoping that BlueSky would be spared the scourge of NFT art scammers because it would be different from all those other platforms - nope, I did not really think that but people tried to tell me so.
Anyway, it's all the same everywhere.

Two of the works I'm going to show at the upcoming expo:
From my mixed media collage series "The Wait, The Race, The Game & The Dance"
L: "A Lifetime Of Tomorrows"
R: "They Remained Silent (And Waited And Danced"
Both from 2022 which by now feels like a lifetime ago indeed!

Slowly following people back while trying to figure out how to and what to post where, I mean, it used to be SO easy with Insta, Facebook & Twitter as main social media channels. Nowadays, especially as an artist, EVERYTHING IS SCATTERED ALL OVER EVERYWHERE 😆

So the way it is designed as a public platform to support public conversations, BlueSky does not offer any option to set one's profile to private, should one wish to or feel necessary. Oh, what could possibly go wrong? 🤦♀️

Ook even in NL: klopt het dat het met dat federale server systeem te maken heeft dat je je BlueSky profiel niet op privé 🔐 kan zetten als je dat zou willen? Is er een tech savvy figuur hier die wat kan toelichten?
So, it is bc of federated servers that you can't set your profile to private here, even if you should wish or think necessary? It may not be an option at all?
Not too thrilled about that.
Anyone tech-savvy around here to provide me with some more info?

So, ok, unless I missed something, BlueSky does not offer the option to set one's profile to private, should one desire - or feel the need to.
Correct?
If so, I don't think that's ok - ppl should have that choice made available to them.

Too much going on, in my head, in my mind, out there in the world - too much happening one does not have any control over so you need to take a deep breath and learn to let go.
OR ... you just create more of your own Witty Art!
Here's a papercut Lamb Figure I created a while back 💙🐑✂️

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...

Ok, for anyone wondering why I'm less active here: apart from being insanely busy w other projects, I am also dividing my time between Threads & Instagram, BlueSky and than there is still that dying part of what used to be Twitter. Some ppl there that won't go elsewhere 1/

Almost finished ~ sometimes the smaller pieces often take the longest..
Been working on and off on this one for months, often just putting it aside for weeks. It STILL isn't fully done yet but getting there.
Love the 'Alien Bunny' vibes here 👽🐰

One of the reasons I temporarily went back to 'The Other Place' was bc of the general elections in my coutry, The Netherlands. Not going to talk about it here (for now) bc it got me totally depressed. But, it also turned 'that place' into an even bigger hellhole than it already was.
It seems like many people are 'torn' between Here & There atm. Truth be told, I went back there for a while ~ because general elections in my country but those turned my TL into an even bigger horror than it already was. It kinda almost sucked me into a black hole.
