Miles Davis didn’t begin to draw and paint in earnest until he was in his mid-fifties. He was said to have worked obsessively each day on art when he wasn’t touring. His style was a bold and masculine mixture of Kandinsky, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso and African tribal art.

Heinrich Campendonk (1889-1957) :
Girl with Cows, c.1919

Campendonk was a member of Der Blaue Reiter (the Blue Rider) group of German Expressionists prior to the WWI. He is arguably the least known artist of that celebrated movement.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

“Badgers digging, using one of them as a wheelbarrow”
“Badgers work together to dig their holes in the mountains. One will lie down at the entrance to the hole, holding a stick in its mouth, while the others pile earth on its belly. Two badgers take hold of the stick with their mouths and drag the loaded badger away.”
