I think I need a Bluesky break. I need to turn my efforts toward other venues for a bit. You can still find me elsewhere if you’re interested—or follow my art blog using RSS.

I guess it’s just naive integrity on my part. I don’t need that kind of crap in my life. Good luck.

You missed my point. It would be nice if they did it on their own websites, not on walled garden platforms.

Coreyartus @coreyartusimagery.com · 6d

I guess I’m confused… Why would any author worth their salt deign to agree to promote a book they didn’t at least partially read? Because most can see through that crap like water.

Coreyartus @coreyartusimagery.com · 6d

Yes, but it’s a party where no one can hear anyone anyway… I guess I just have a different interaction with blogs than you do.

Coreyartus @coreyartusimagery.com · 6d

I’m not sure having a blog obligates you to do so…

Coreyartus @coreyartusimagery.com · 6d

How is that different than a being discovered through social media now? Is an account different than a blog page? I think I’d rather be found through a real person’s recommendation than being foisted in front of someone by an algorithm’s statistic-driven bot…

Blogs do have comments. There is the capacity to interact, network, and self-promote without getting undermined by algorithms that aren’t currently effective for them anyway…

Coreyartus @coreyartusimagery.com · 6d

No walled garden algorithms. Direct word of mouth recommendations by authors for authors. No reliance on publishing’s non-existent promotional mechanisms.

Coreyartus @coreyartusimagery.com · 6d

I wish authors would promote other authors they like more often on their own blogs so I could read them through RSS. Word of mouth is best. Skip publishers & walled garden social media algorithms entirely.

I like RSS and getting news from relevant blogs, directly from websites. Screw walled garden algorithms.

How do we convince publishers to stop doing this? Bibliographies and footnotes matter. They should be printed.

Websites decay faster all the time. Especially in an era of huge mergers like the one that created Penguin Random House, where calls for efficiency see pages culled at every chance.

Budget cuts come for us all. My contract with Amtrak is not being renewed and it's up tomorrow.

I'll have more time to work on the Map Center but until it's fully off the ground, I'm a GIS analyst with 12 years of experience in ESRI, open source, education and cartography.

For my new followers on Bluesky, keep in mind many of us won’t even see your profile if you have a generative AI profile pic, banner, or regularly post AI images.

Subscribing to the aimod moderation list below blocks almost all of it and is fantastic.

All 30 of my #swordtember 2025 swords in the tiny sketchbook.

When I have some free time again I'll assemble the clean, fixed scans on a poster.

All swords are from the silent era films.

#sketchbook #art

a composition of 30 photos of my tiny sketchbook, each photo/page has a tiny drawing of a black and white sword, drawn from reference of old silent films such as Die Nibelungen, Peter Pan, Zorro, Faust, etc.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

The fountain of Concordia Augusta, Pompeii. The fountain is sited at the junction of the Via dell' Abbondanza and Via Stabiana, an important cross roads in the older part of Pompeii. Inspired by the book "The Wolf Den" by Elodie Harper.

Becca, all of your pieces are so rich in texture and subtlety… They draw me in and I just want to explore them with my eyes for as long as it takes! Always something evocative and fascinating! Please keep up the gorgeous work!

I’ve reworked one from a few weeks ago (may need a click). Oil on panel, 60 x 80cm #oilpainting #seascape #landscape #coast #irishart www.artachart.com

Coastal seascape in oils, depicting a stormy sky above a hilly coastline, with suggestion of homes and lights to the right. Cliffs and a calmer cove in the foreground, with suggestion of rougher sea behind. Limited palette of mostly blues, greys, white & yellow.

It's officially Spooky Month! 🎃
Kicking it off with some #hARToween25!

Took a little inspiration from old school Halloween cards but tried to keep it in sort of my style. 🖼️

A gouache painting of a creepy house that seems to be decaying, surrounded by tall grass and two dark trees frame it (the tree on the viewer's right is out of frame but its branches are coming in). It appears to be night but greeting the viewer are two friendly ghosts! One is inside the house seen in one of the windows while the second ghost is emerging from a circular, second floor window with their arms raised in greeting with a smile.
