✨ #ARTIST THREAD ✨
Quote with two of your best works and a little introduction:

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm in Australia and like to do a little bit of everything. I love traditional printmaking and that oftentimes infiltrates my work. These are in a style I've been developing in 2024.

An illustration on a navy background in which a woman looms ominously behind a man with her hands raised in a grasping gesture to either side of his head. He smiles faintly and holds a white lily near his chin, with ghostly faces to either side of his own. The woman wears grey and beige robes with a red shawl over her blonde hair like a hood. An incomplete halo hovers behind her head like golden horns. The man wears all black, with a similar hood. Both figures are framed by a tangled wreath of red roses and thorns. One rose drips a trail of blood down a single leaf at the bottom of the frame. At the bottom of the frame are the words "The Night Knows My Name" and a circular logo for the Bloody Tapestry of Kae'fre by W. James Chan, with the crux et luna symbol at its centre. An illustration on a brown field in which three sickly pale hands hang from a wreath of yellow roses. Each rose and hand has a blue eye at its centre. The hands are pin-pricked by thorns in the roses that entangle them, and blood drips down towards their fingers.

Mystic Messenger meme that I drew of Yoosung in 2018. It's a reskin of the Steve Buschemi skateboard meme where he goes "How do you do fellow kids?", but using Yoousng kim instead. My way of joking about trying to blend in with actual artists.

Autumn and the Relics Of A Dead Summer
Within a gothic style arched frame with spandrels decorated with oak-leaves is a painted scene in which a woman with pale skin and flowing red hair and wearing a long blue silk dress holds a small but intricately decorated gilded box in her hands. She looks at the viewer with a reserved expression. To either side of her stands a humanoid crow figure, with the heads of jackdaws and long flowing black robes. The left holds a simple chalice, the right holds a small dagger in open hands. At their feat is a carpet of brown oak leaves fallen from branches above them (some leaves are caught in the dress and robes). In these leaves stand two ring-necked pheasants, a male in red and blue on the left, and a female in light speckled brown on the right. Behind the figures stands a tall gothic church tower with castellated parapet and corner pinnacles shrouded in mist against a sunset sky streaked with fine clouds.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.
Screenshot of David Simon interview SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

You know the voice in the back of your head that says no one wants to read your book?

Drown it.
Burn it with fire.
Get a bat and start swinging.

Don't let it exist and lie to you. Destroy it and keep writing.

Keep. Writing.

I hear it's international lesbian day 💕 if you want to share a fellow lesbian's art, here is some of my favourite works with my lesbian blorbos 💕

An artwork based on Romeo and Juliet by Frank Dicksee. Ipomoea is wrapping her arms around Reignn, stopping them for one last kiss as they are sitting over the balustrade. Reignn embraces her back, their lips almost close to touching. On the background a city can be seen, with mountains in the distance. In the middle, Elaine is standing while holding her sword, while the personification of the moon is sitting behind her and almost embracing her gently. On the left, Elaine is holding a white lily, the bottom decorated with more white lilies and ipomoeas. On the right, Elaine's hand is showing holding her sword. The same flowers decorate the bottom of the scene. The phases of the moon are shown across different parts of the artwork (crescent/waning moons at the bottom, half moons on the sides, full moon in the middle scene). Camellia is holding Ametista in her arms as she pierces her heart with her sword. Ametista looks peaceful, her arms wrapped around Camellia's shoulders. In the background there is a scene from their past. Camellia and Ametista are kissing in the gardens, a warm light pouring over the scenery. The artwork has a golden frame with ornamental swords at the bottom. On the right, Thalia leans forward Eirwen with a red flower in her hand. On the left, Eirwen reaches out, her fingers delicately brushing against the petals while her left hand brushes through Thalia's hair. Around them winter is thawing, flowers and foliage emerging still covered in a little snow.

APOTHEOSIS OF WAR (1992)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 20” x 19”

People often ask me, “Where do you get your ideas?”

I always have so many that I don’t think I’ll live long enough to paint them all...and if I ever experience a shortage, I just have to pick up the morning paper. 1/3
A white on black abstract rendering of the culmination of war. It stands with arms flung out as if declaring "look what I have wrought!" Horns sit upon its helm pointing up and outward in a slight arc. Eye slits sit high with a double opening between jagged cheek plates. The effect elongates the helm, an inhuman distortion that looks more devil than man. The collar and pauldrons are wide, overwrought and wickedly spiked. Open mouths scream from the underside, echoes of suffering or cries of bloodlust. The figure is skeletal with one bony foot exposed beneath long flowing tattered robes loosely wound with barbed wire. Lines across the fabric of its chest suggest ribs as if there's no other substance beneath but bone. The hands, however, are tense, anguished flesh with long curving nails as if saying the delicate instruments of war are all too human. Projecting like bladed weapons from each sleeve, the sleek heads of a dragon and a long-beaked demonic bird extend in a mockery of open arm

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
