First life drawing sesh in 2 years! It was like riding a bike: I fell over a couple of times but I'm really happy with the trip!
The 2-hour pose at the end was a delight – I could really get into the anatomical details. Scroll to see the bumpy 20 minute pose where I was still warming up!

It looks like that over at least a month later, this petition to ban AI produced '''art''' from being copyrighted has FINALLY gone public 😩 If you showed interest last month, please sign it ASAP ❤️ I saw a lot of interest so let's make it count 🫡

Here's the nonsense that AI came up with to describe my new life drawing group. I am dying:
Join us at Willesden Green for a LIVE Drawing meetup focused on a variety of artistic pursuits including Painting, Landscape Painting, Drawing, Art as Philosophy and Therapy,

Smh we are now looking at Sunday afternoons after all! Which is great. Still waiting on final confirmation but I have asked for 5-7pm starting on the first Sunday following Easter. There'll only be 6 spaces for the first week so keep your eyes open! DM if you want a DM back when bookings open.
Still waiting for the property owner to make a final call on this! It now looks like we will start with Thursday night sessions. It's an amazing space though and the owner is very positive.
I have a meeting next week with the venue for life drawing sessions at Willesden Green, London NW2. Get in touch below if you're interested and I'll make sure you get first dibs! Places will be strictly limited to ensure everyone has a good experience. #art #drawing #anatomy #lifedrawing #events

Glass shatters into dust, their once-brilliant glow fading reclaiming the silence. Rust spreads over circuits, and the wind whistles through skeletal echoes

aaand that’s another wrap on a #365daychallenge ! I’ve been drawing and posting every single day this year, which has been my creative lifeline while being home with my lovely toddler🤍
it hasn’t been always easy of course, but I’m eternally glad I managed to keep the habit ✨✏️✨

A lot of memes are based on illustrations and comics that an artist made, but people remove all mention of the artist to make it seem as if the image sprang out of the ether, that it belongs to everyone. Especially in this day and age, it's important to assert when art is made by human hands.
This comic gets shared every year with the date changed. It is by Brazilian cartoonist Glauco Villas Boas (1957-2010).
