For non-French people sharing tributes to Brigitte Bardot: for context, she was a long-time supporter of Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally, France’s main far-right party, and later of Éric Zemmour (even further right). And she was convicted for incitement to racial hatred.

many minutes of sleuthing later, i found it!
tweets from user funkyiambs from 2021 saying: GASTON (2024): A young man, played by Timothèe Chalamet, watches his mother suffocate under the weight of a bookcase that he is too weak to lift off of her. EXT. SMALL COTTAGE ENTER GASTON READING PROUST GASTON: Ah, no one reads like Gaston! (Crash within) CUT TO: INT. PARLOR MOTHER TRAPPED BY FALLEN BOOKSHELF. ENTER GASTON.

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer
Digital art of a Smilodon hunting a white tailed deer buck. Both figures are drawn as if they were petroglyphs. The Smilodon is pouncing the deer while the deer's rear legs twist to the opposite side of its body. This twisting leg direction signifies a dead or dying animal in Scythian art which also has influences on this piece.

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.
A stylized illustration of a woman in profile with long flowy hair drawing back a bow, with a large eagle's head behind her. There are a lot of abstracted ink textures.

The bitch, please of this cover 🤌

#MachidaKeita #10Dance
Magazine cover shoot of Machida Keita leaning over the back of his co-star in the upcoming Japanese m/m romance movie 10Dance. Keita has one arm wrapped around the other's neck from right to left, hand resting on his co-star's left shoulder, other elbow propped on his co-star's left shoulder, hand upright and elegantly poised. His co-star has one palm spread across Keita's forearm, where it crosses his throat. The looks on both their faces are: We saw you across the bar, and...oh hell, no
