Love at the Museum!

🦕 🦖 🦕 🦖

A painting of two women and a child at a natural history museum. they are at at an exhibit labeled “fossil petting zoo,” with tools for brushing various trilobites and ammonites clean. one woman is laughing, the other looking up lovingly at her. in the corner, the child is reaching out to touch an ammonite. behind them, a diplodocus skeleton arches upwards, towards a model quetzalcoatlus soaring above. there is an edmontosaurus fossil mounted on the wall next to plants and a palm tree. to the right, a model ankylosaur stands fiercely. in the far distance, a crowd of people look up at a blue whale model. above them, on the next floor, a model mastodon stands with its baby.

what a freak show of a world we live in that the guy who was salivating on main over the idea of Trump Casino: Gaza City just a few months ago gets to slap these stickers all over a ceasefire:

sticker of trump squinting into an eclipse like a dipshit and pointing, with the text “I DID THAT!”

israelis get to be ‘hostages’, palestinians are ‘prisoners held without charge’.

israelis get ‘families’, palestinians get ‘relatives’

text from the nytimes:

Israel-Hamas
Cease-Fire
Updates
'Peace Summit'
Cease-Fire De
Mr. Trump's trip unfolded against the backdrop of a trade that formed the cornerstone of the peace plan he proposed last month: the exchange of the last 20 hostages to survive two years of captivity in Gaza for 1,968 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 serving life sentences and about 1,700 detained during the war and held without charge. The exchange went smoothly, but what happens next is far from clear.

text from cnn:

Israeli authorities. Some 250
Palestinian prisoners and more than 1,700 detainees from Gaza, held by Israel without charge, have now been released.
• Emotional scenes unfolded as the freed hostages reunited with their families in hospitals across Israel and as released Palestinian
prisoners met relatives in the West Bank and detainees arrived in
buses to large crowds in Gaza.

masterwork study - Ophelia, John Everett Millais

from my sketchbook, ink on paper. (wishing I’d done this on a separate sheet 😭)

an ink drawing of ophelia, by john everett millais. ophelia lies in water, surrounded by flowers. the drawing is done with flowing hatch marks and thin line work.

the same drawing, but shown at an angle within the leather bound sketchbook I drew it in. in the background are some of the micron pens I used to draw it.

“Are They Real?” - ink on paper

I sketched this three years ago, and just now got around to inking it 😵‍💫

An ink drawing of a woman wearing a dress with a plunging neckline that reveals a cavity in her ribcage, inside which two orchids are blooming. she has long hair, a solemn expression with closed eyes, and her body looks partially deformed with strange marks appearing from her mouth.

behind her, skeletal creatures leer at her, and hands reach out from the dark to grab at her.

agh this sucks 😑

sure it’s “temporary” or “prototype for now, but I bet you anything one slips through the cracks and we end up seeing an AI card make it to print within the next year or so

went to a few thrift/vintage stores yesterday, and the amount of AI art EVERYWHERE was soul crushing. anywhere that might’ve once had collabs with local artists or at least something a human had touched was replaced with $8 AI birthday cards. $20 AI posters with misspelled slogans. $35 AI DRESSES!!
