Tyrannosaurus rex was named 120 years ago today on 4th October, 1905.

I would do things a little differently now, but this drawing is from 2020.

O Brasil tem prioridade na ONU por nossa diplomacia e nossa história: Somos os fundadores reconhecidos da Organização, pelo trabalho de Oswaldo Aranha; Também somos os criadores da Sede (Niemeyer) e é de Portinari os painéis Guerra e Paz, que recebem as delegações no Plenário.

📰 Associated Press

Imagem mostra os dois painéis monumentais “Guerra” (à esquerda) e “Paz” (à direita), obras icônicas do artista brasileiro Cândido Portinari, pintadas entre 1952 e 1956. As duas composições, feitas com técnica de têmpera sobre madeira, têm cerca de 14 metros de altura e foram encomendadas pela ONU como mensagem do Brasil ao mundo, sendo instaladas originalmente na sede da organização em Nova York.

O painel da esquerda, “Guerra”, é dominado por tons escuros de vermelho, marrom, cinza e azul, com figuras humanas em expressões de dor, desespero e luto. Várias pessoas aparecem com as mãos no rosto ou erguidas, como se clamassem por ajuda ou protestassem. Há presença de cavalos em movimento, crianças chorando e corpos caídos, reforçando o caos, a destruição e o sofrimento coletivo causados pelos conflitos. As figuras são fragmentadas, sobrepostas e estilizadas, criando uma sensação de colapso e tensão.

No painel da direita, “Paz”, os tons são mais claros, com predomínio de azuis, verdes, amarelos e ocres. A cena mostra crianças, mulheres e homens reunidos em atividades pacíficas, como leitura, música, brincadeiras e trabalho no campo. Há instrumentos musicais, animais e elementos da vida rural, além de figuras em gestos afetuosos, como mãos dadas e abraços. Tudo é mais iluminado e fluido, simbolizando harmonia, convivência e esperança.

Israel e a fome como arma de guerra contra Gaza. Genocídio da população palestina por Israel continua despudoradamente e o mundo ainda não tomou nenhuma medida efetiva. Não há desculpa possível.

Mass starvation stalks Gaza as deaths from hunger rise

Aid agencies warned for months that Israel’s harsh limits on food aid would bring acute malnutrition and widespread suffering to Gaza’s 2.1 million people.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

Hi #portfolioday !

I'm Madalyn, a fantasy artist & illustrator working with traditional media. My art is inspired by folklore, dreams, and nature. Nice to meet you!✨

'Anxiety' for my oracle deck. A naiad that looks very much like water, with half her face hidden beneath the water. Swirling eddies form in front of her face, blending with her hair.

'Sylph'. Traditional art of a wise airy fae flying through a purple moonlit sky with a spirit owl and a lot of green moths. They look ephemeral, and appear to be unraveling as they move through the sky, in a surreal way. There is a spiral pattern in the sky, and in her hair.

'Illusions Lifted'. Mixed media traditional art of a spell being broken, and things are seen as they truly are for the first time. A girl sits in a barren wasteland, holding a small flock of birds close to her, but they fly away and become monsters.

'Potential' for my oracle deck. A dryad that looks very much like a tree, holding a magnolia in front of a twilight sky, with a hopeful expression. Abstracted airy lines swoop upwards, representing potential. Made with colored pencil, watercolor, and a little white gouache.

I don’t art direct comics or graphic novels so I never work with coloring artists but I'm working on a new illustrated chapter book where we'd be repackaging existing grayscale finished art and need to colorize it. If you’re a colorist, please share samples and a link to your folio. No DMs pls. 💙❤️
