Shae Bishop bucks the toxic masculinity of cowboy culture with these floral garments made of ceramic tiles. Some pieces even have an art historical bent, like the vest below titled “Waistcoat of Earthly Delights.”

Your own personal guardian angel protects you from your own personal demon. Somehow this is not comforting! But perhaps Domenichino meant it to be in 1615, and today is his birthday.

Edvard Munch @edvardmunch.bsky.social · 16h

The Sick Child I 1896
https://botfrens.com/collections/90/contents/1211825

When Edvard Munch was thirteen years old, his sister Sophie died of tuberculosis. Nine years later, he created the first of five painted versions of The Sick Child, all representing Sophie just prior to her death. Munch later described the process of painting these works as a form of technical and personal catharsis.
Due to the great success of the paintings and his own psychological preoccupations, in 1894–96 Munch made three prints based on the motif, of which The Sick Child I was the last. In 1896 the artist traveled to Paris to experiment with new print-making processes and work with respected printers such as Auguste Clot, hoping to gain the commercial success that had previously eluded him in the French capital. There he made this, his first color lithograph, which features Sophie’s head silhouetted against a pillow. Munch printed the lithograph with several different stones and a variety of color combinations: he made the keystone either black or red and added up to four other color stones in combinations of blue, gray, red, yellow, reddish brown, and purple-blue. Munch was keenly aware of the symbolic associations of various colors, and the icy blue and stark black of this impression suggest the haunting pallor of death.
