I've talked about it before but the AIDS Quilt and the project of memorializing queer stories through tangible physical objects is fundamental to how I want to make art and the methods and mediums I choose. This is such a loving interactive digital archive, and I am so sad and glad for it.
“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1

Full disclosure, this is NOT MY ART. It's my great grandfather's. He was a nature artist from Kalispell MT, and my big project for 2026 is to try and track down as many of his (HUNDREDS) of oil paintings as possible, and tell his story.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
But the verye next daye ther came a wolf,
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste
