Ok so this BAFFLES me. For those of you who dont speak Norwegian, this is an ad for someone doing online art-classes or something like that. The thing that baffles me, is that they decided to use an AI generated picture for their Facebook-post. Why? WHY? #fuckAI #noAIart
A screengrab of a post I came across on Facebook. The name of the poster has been covered. The text under it is in Norwegian and talks about an offer to get access to some platform they running. Not sure what the platform offers. The picture they decided to use with their post, a post that was posted in a group for people who like to draw and paint, is generated with AI. I know this to be a fact, because the watermark for the AI in in the bottom right corner and reads: MNIMAX Hailuo AI The picture is of a very old and worn table, with three tubes of paint, all with the cork taken of and paint running out. Of a tube. next to them, there is a clay pot, filled with used brushed. The background is a plain wooden wall, a window with a plant pot and mug on it, lace curtains. The landscape is a wet winter forest.

I just realised that I never posted this painting of a Saithe, a type of fish that has many names. Because it tastes good. Thats what I think anyways. What is your favourite fish to eat? And have you ever had Saithe?
#traditionalart #handpainted #illustration #acrylicink
A painting of a type of fish called a Saithe, or Sei. It has many other names. The fish is shown in profile, and is green at the top, more grey down its sides and light underneath it. The background is painted on a very wet surface, and so the paint is just bleeding onto the paper, making a abstract effect of water. It has a watermark in the bottom left corner reading.

A screengrab of a notification from Bluesky saying that if I go live on twitch, there will be a badge on my Bluesky profile, and if people click it, they end up on my twitch! A kinda cool feature!

Photograph of 5 Sakura Kusudama hanging next to each other. They range from light purple in the back, then a hot pink one, then a yellow one. then a green one thats in focus, and closets to the camera, slightly out of focus, is a blue one. They are all decorated with sequins, beads and a tassel at the end. The background is my turquoise living room curtains in a stripet velvet from IKEA. A digital drawing of a mandala. The drawing is done on a rectangular canvas as I hope to one day get these printed as origami paper. The pattern is intricate and inspired by middle eastern architecture and art. The piece is in different shades of purple, giving it a dreamy vibe. Done in Clip Studio Paint. Also, there is a watermark in the bottom right saying LadyKimonoArt.com. Painting of a Ghost Moth done with acrylic ink. The moth itself is done realistically. The wings are mostly a light grey, but have orange "eyes" and black accents. The body is mostly white, but have yellow accents. It has a "ghostly" vibe to it. The background is purple splatters of paint, with 4 "lights" in orange that almost looks like lights in the dark. The backgrounds very abstract vibe is meant to be a contrast to the realistic style of the moth. This is a mixed media piece I made. I took a photograph of a tulip I bought to use for reference material. I then did a drawing of it using Indian ink. The inked piece was then scanned and put on top of the reference photo. And then I started the process of editing the colours of it. I added the text "SPRING" at the bottom in white. To make the text more readable, I added shadow to it as the background is a cold and pale beige. The tulip itself has fringed edges on it petals and is almost fully open. The colours are pale and cold, but the highlights are going into a light yellow, hinting at he warmth that is to come.

A painting of a Cod. Done with acrylic ink. The cod is done in a semi realistic style, and the background is done with very wet blue paint. The cod is in profile. A drawing of a Chrysanthemum done with Indian ink. The details is all done with line work with thicker lines to indicate shadows and thinner and no lines for highlights. The details is all lined. Yes, this is very detailed piece and it took forever. A drawing of a warbler sitting on a branch. The drawing was done using Indian ink. The bird is is looking back over its shoulder. I used tiny lines for the texture on the bird and on the branch. An artwork that was made using mixed media. Its a sign that says "LIFE HAPPENS". The border of the sign has an ornamental design. The first layer of paint was poured over the paper, and where the paint first landed, was where I painted the details. After I scanned the painting, I added a layer for the halftone effect.

Sometimes, life happens. Painted this with watercolours on Portofino hot pressed paper. I did some editing in CSP to get a print effect. #watercolour #watercolor #lettering
A painting using watercolour on paper, the painting shows a sign that says "LIFE HAPPENS". The sign has ornamental designs around the border. I first poured the paint onto the paper and the splattered the paint towards the edge. I then painted the design on where the print first landed. This version of the painting has a layer that was duplicated from the original layer and I then went over the the top layer with a half tone brush to give it a printed feel.

Painting of a Ghost Moth using Acrylic Ink. The background is mostly purple splatters of paint, with some in orange to mirror the orange "eyes" onn the wings of the moth. The moth itself is a light grey, with black lines on its wings. The body is mostly white with yellow accents. It looks... ghostly. Even though I painted it in a realistic style.

Decided to make one more lettering piece before closing my bow with watercolours. #fuckice
A PNG made from a watercolour painting I did today. Its two lines with two word and the words read: "FUCK ICE". I used different shades of red in the letters and I splattered some red paint around the letters as well. The letters are bold and deliberately crude.

A friend sent me this comic on Discord about a knight who was married to a dragon and I got inspired^_^ Its watercolours on paper, the text and dragon was done separately and then I edited them together in Clip Studio Paint. #dragon #dragonart #watercolours
A design I made using watercolours and Clip Studio Paint. The text reads: "My other girlfriend is a DRAGON" The text is in blue and teal tones, and the silhuett of the dragon behind the text, is in warm pink and purple tones. The fact that the designs was first done with watercolours, gives the piece an organic feel, with the "bleeding" of the paint.

Ok so this person has disabled comments and quote reposts, so I am just ask in my own post: How do you think us Europeans got these protections? You think we asked nicely? And then we just got it? Or do you think some ended up shot in the face because powerful men ordered them to to be shot in face?
A screengrab of a post by Matt Aytch Taylor that says: "this is why every social media call for a general strike means nothing to me. all you want to hold a sign in the streets for an afternoon. we don't yet have the organization in place to make sure everyone on strike is clothed and housed and fed. hell we don't have THAT figured out for the homeless ‪Veterans Against Trump‬ ‪@vetsat.bsky.social‬ · 2h There will never be a general strike in the US like France or Italy because millions are one unexcused absence from being fired and one firing away from being homeless.

Lets hope that 2026 is the year we all take in stride. Acrylic Ink on Portofino Hot Pressed paper. #yearofthehorse #horse #acrylicink #horsepainting
Painting of a horse. The horse is shown in profile, with the head looking slightly over towards the viewer. The horse has been painting using wet acrylic ink, giving it a watercolour look. I used pinks, blues and yellows that has bled into each other, giving the horse a rainbow colouration. The background is a pale green with dots of raw sienna, making it almost look like a spotted copper.

This is the painting of the Red Spotted Purple Butterfly I made last year. Tomorrow, it will be two years ago since I painted it. How that works? no idea. I have time blindness. #butterfly #butterflypainting #lepidoptera
Photograph of a painting of a Red Spotted Purple Butterfly. The Butterfly is done in painstaking detail to get a realistic look. The background is stylized in a colours palette that is meant to compliment the butterfly itself. The painting is placed on my hardwood floors, surrounded by tiny origami stars, also in a colour scheme to compliment the butterfly. The light was provided by the sun. Oh how I miss the sun...

Anyone wanna see how a Christmas parade with boats look like? Ok, well here are some pictures:
A photograph taken from a boat, of boats. There is a row of boats, mostly sailing boats, but with lights on their masts instead of sails. The boats are on a fjord, going from their winter lair, and going into Vågen in Bergen. The photo was taken when they are sailing from the Puddfjord, and have passed under the Puddefjordsbridge. Its just after 6 PM so thee skies are dark, and all the lights are from the boats and the city behind them. A photograph taken at nighttime, showing a Christmas parade in Bergen, Norway. The parade are made up of boats! There are several boats in the photo, some are docked, some are making up the parade. The two sailing vessels are both in the parade and have been decorated with chirstmas lights. The UNESCO world heritage site of Bryggen is in the background.

I wanted to share with everyone what I have been working on for the last week and its been my kids Halloween costume.
They wanted to be Isha from Arcane! So EVA foam has been purchased and a whole tube a glue has been used. #arcanecosplay
Photograph of a helmet made from EVA foam. Its made to look like the helmet Isha wears before she and Jinx decorate it. Its hard to describe something I made myself... Photograph of the helmet after my Kid and I decorated it like Isha and Jinx did in the show. Photograph of the helmet while its being worn by my kid. They are drinking a smoothie with a straw, and with the downward angle, it looks like it the helmet is drinking the smoothie.
