that haunting ghost turnip was the inspo for this sticker! I mean, my version is slightly cuter and less horrific but they're cousins :)

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
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."

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I’ve launched the standalone site for purchasing Six Centuries of Type & Printing, a cloth-bound hardcover book, which is paired with the ebook. You can also buy the ebook by itself, snag the unabridged audio edition, and add letterpress-printed bookmarks. (tems ship around July 20.) sixcent.info
Two-page spread from the book showing two illustrations in green at the top of each page. Hand holds the book in front of a bookcase with printing-related titles and items. The title on the left-hand page is A Press That Lasts Centuries. Left-hand page illustration is Dance of Death (15th century woodcut) showing skeletons dancing with printers as they take them away. Right-hand page shows a common press, like those used from Gutenberg to the early 1800s. Bookmarks printed in red and black with large type reading Tutivillus (top) and Printer’s Devil (obscured beneath top bookmark, which is placed at an angle) [digital preview of printed item] Line drawing of man speaking into wax recording apparatus, his mouth inside a tube as he holds a lever to rotate the wax drum

Quiet countryside afternoons are magical. 🍃

#art #traditionalart #sketchbook
Traditional art, a sketchbook page with two loose photo studies done in markers and colored pencil. Both pictures depict the countryside, the first drawing shows a few old houses by a path under golden trees, and the second drawing shows two cottages by a lake. There’s a flower ornament in the middle of the page, separating the two pictures.

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

I literally do not know a single artist (myself included) for whom $1500 a month would not be life changing.
