UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Original marshlands landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Standing in a New Light" 20"x20" oil on linen (2024). Landscape painting featuring an orange-toned sky with atmospheric cloud formations appearing to rise up from the first light of day over a coastal marsh. Subtle light and color from the sky reflects in the water, and plays off the textured marsh grasses.

A textbook image I did a few years ago showing a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus rixosus) with her mandibles held open and trigger hairs forward, and then in the closed position.

The snapping shut of the trap is one of the fastest measured animal movements.

A split-screen image showing (top) a face view of an elongated ant standing on a reflective surfave, facing us with toothy brown jaws held 180 degrees open, and (bottom), the same ant with jaws closed, the bluntly toothed tips held together.

20-30min sketches from #paleostream flocking! Magyarosaurus, Pycnonemosaurus, Platysomus and Palaeoctopus :)
#paleoart #sciart
and some silly alt as always

Two digital sketches on one page.
Top: a landscape, inspired by big murals in Moscow paleo museum (Orlov's museum), featuring Magyarosaurus, and a few pterosaurs and other sauropods in the background. Magyarosaurus there slowly goes into the water, looking down on it. The vibe is peaceful, just like a quiet sunrise in the early day during summer. Wish i was there too.

Bottom: a portrait of a Pycnonemosaurus walking through a canyon, looking at the camera. The most of the animal is in shadow, but there's a hard edge of light coming from up and behind. This guy looks like he smells like dust, warm skin and a stinky dogs breath. But i love him anyway.

Two digital colored sketches on one page.
Top: a silly looking fish Platysomus. Just a few swimming there, some are blurred against the dark background. Two of them are close to the camera. No thoughts in their eyes at all.

Bottom: a clutch of eggs, with a mother - Palaeoctopus, protecting them. You can only see a few of her arms, so it's mostly about babies. They're almost ready to hatch, and their mother is close to being forever lost in time again. Extant female octopuses die not long after their eggs hatch. And it's actually more complicated than just starvation (if you're interested - there's a lot to read about it!).
I don't think we know if Palaeoctopus did that too, but i've speculated that at least they could guard their eggs too.

Having a hard time liking my art atm, even tho i still want to draw stuff. So here are random sketches and studies again

A digital drawing, there are a lot of studies and other little things on one page. Here's a study of a photo of Tom Mckay (can't believe i did it again but he's genuinely fun to draw), study of some plants, kcd2 screenshot (the city one), little studies of oil paintings done by Viktor Vasnetsov and Ivan Shishkin. And a couple of mindless sketches of running wooden horses and um.. Medieval looking snake? Dragon?.. Whatever this thing is.

Atentos con los logos que acá figuran porque según la web de Daniel Benchimol, desde Proyecto451 les han dado una «formación» en IA generativa 🚨 Léase: les han enseñado a usar Midjourney, GPT, Gemini, Flux y Freepik para sustituir a ilustradores, diseñadores, fotógrafos, escritores y traductores.

Arte es Ética @arteesetica.bsky.social · 6d

TIENEN QUE DAR EXPLICACIONES @culturagob.bsky.social Llevamos tres años escuchando sus promesas sobre la defensa y protección de los autores pero están legitimando en espacios dedicados a la cultura a promotores de la IA generativa que dictan cursos sobre «Generar portadas de libros con GPT» 🤨
