Drawing of a girl in profile, wearing a bonnet with mushroom spots. She is surrounded by leaves, flowers, sparkles, mushrooms, a bird and a rabbit. The color palette light pink, light blue, green and brown a comic page. An old man with pink skin, wearing orange and yellow robes, excitedly rambles about tapestries. A red medieval tapestry design is the main background. a comic page. A desi girl holds a cute crystal staff with surprise while a chameleon with butterfly wings cheers her on. A blond girl with glasses watches as the other girl examines the wand. The color palette is very pink. A full body drawing of a couple kissing. Their clothes are heavily embroidered with slavic folk designs, and they are surrounded by decorative borders made of more folk art motifs. In each corner a chicken stands in front of the border. The color palette is yellow, red and blue, with black accents.

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.” A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

(1/4) Adventure Time premiered 15 years ago today and we were all the luckier for it. This show is a miracle, and I have no idea who I’d be as a person or an artist without it 🧡
a comic page of various scenes from the show adventure time. TEXT: Ooo is a world to get lost in, one that is, like ours, both simple and deep- tragic and full of wonder. It stands tall and alone in our audio-visual landscape.
