Still trying to fight the battle on X but so many bots it's like Ukrainians fighting the orcs on the Eastern Front, and sometimes you have to do a tactical retreat.

Anyway, I did promise some #art so here's a #painting called Mask of the Red Death dating 2021-25.

I won't post my art on X again.

The real “Dolores”? I was recently commissioned to create a pencil sketch of Aquilops - a dinosaur which I’d never really paid proper attention to. In the l course of my research I became a bit obsessed and felt compelled to also create this more detailed illustration as a personal project.
#SciArt
A digital portrait of Aquilops americanue - a small herbivorous dinosaur, related to triceratops. It has a small boney frill behind its head, with tiny quills sprouting from it. Its beaked jaws have a distinctive spike jutting forward, which may have been used to forage for food.

Art class today. The theme was underwater, so I couldnt resist painting my model organism #Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog). This is done in encaustics, which is a mixture of beeswax and resin 🐸 #Art #SciArt 🧪
A painting of a frog floating in blue water. It is surrounded by some green plants and some large blue amd white circles.

This 18th-century youth is meant to be a graceful little figure holding flowers, but his expression suggests he’s just been told something mildly shocking. The sash and floral base make him look elegant, yet that wide-eyed stare makes it hard not to laugh.
Porcelain figurine of a standing cherubic figure on a circular base decorated with small flowers. The figure is nude except for a flowing turquoise drape that wraps diagonally across the body and hangs over the left arm. Both hands are raised, each holding a delicate flower, and additional blossoms are positioned near the feet. The surface is glossy with soft pastel colours, typical of 18th-century or Rococo-style decorative ceramics. A label beneath the figure reads IPSMG: R.1959-190, indicating a museum catalogue reference.

Christmas turkey
https://botfrens.com/collections/69/contents/20037
"Christmas Turkey" captures a surreal and imaginative scene where a turkey, poised dominantly on a chair, looms over a festive table setting that includes mechanical components. Remedios Varo's signature dreamlike style and intricate details create an intriguing contrast between tradition and fantasy, characteristic of her enchanting body of work.

Today is Fibonacci Day. 🧪🐡🧮November 23 if written in MM/DD format recalls the #mathematician Leonardo Bonaccio of Pisa (c. 1170 - c. 1240 or 50) aka Fibonacci’s sequence (1,1,2,3…) where each number is the sum of the previous two. He used it to describe rabbit populations, but the sequence is 🧵

So back here as the Musk place really is getting crazy. Too much time blocking or having to justify myself to nameless accounts or bots. Still much to be said on X for up to date news content but it's poisonous. Got to get me head around this place once more. Will maybe put some #art up again..

Horrible night, when I could sleep I had bad dreams, blood and pain, unrelenting heavy news to wake up to.

What a shitshow everywhere and by everyone. 😟😡

But at least I don't have a bullet in my head like that little 2 year girl.

What a ghastly people rule us.

Come 20th July are people going to abandon X?

It's bad enough as it is with Musk being in the White House plus his app is full of hate, bots, porn and Nazis.

This #Northman film is pretty gritty, gory and tough. What brutal lives people led in 9th century North Europe. Just violence and dark magic. The language is a bit difficult to follow but the visuals are sometimes stunning. And the tracking in the fight scenes is superb. OTT testosterone levels.
