Hi! I'm Sophie :) I'm Mexican-American, from Texas, and currently living in Ontario. I made all these headpieces/crowns and also did all the makeup. I hope to expand my skills and share them with you ~

Freaking loving this consistent -20C. Maybe the canal will open before the New Year? One can dream.

Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 9: Art in vintage photo frames once again! This one I should list for sale. It has a very delicate pearlescent background, hard to photograph! I feel it fits the arctic fox very well❄️

The nickname "Little Billy Biter" for the blue tit is a regional term, primarily in the south-west of England, which originates from the bird's defensive behavior when its nest is disturbed.

Art my own.

"The Road Not Taken"... a poplar grove (cultivated) near Andrew, AB. i captured this in the fall when most of the leaves had fallen but there were still leaves on the trees in the background and the soft late afternoon light was filtering through them

#ArtAdventCalendar today features a photoshoot done with a friend for another project I'm working on. I made the crown, did the styling, took the photo, and did her makeup with assistance from Rose.

Here's the reality this example illustrates:

It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

A shimmering paper dahlia

I pulled this one from the vault in honour of Frank Gehry’s passing today. I was in 💛 with his sinuous architecture.

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.
