Enchanta Village was *such* a fun event! The atmosphere, vendors and all around experience was a really nice surprise for my first time vending with them! I'm *definitely* going to try and apply for next year!

Lol it's *exhausting*. I've not had a "William" lately, but many repeated attempts (the pic were all the same thing -niftys, or the paypal/echeque scam).
Part of what ticks me off is how godsamn lazy they are about it 🙄

Today jas NOT BEEN A GOOD ONE and I may have gone a liiiiittle bit feral...
A screencap of a message received on TikTok. "Richard Cutler": Your work is absolutely stunning! I'd love to discuss purchasing some of your pieces. Do you have anything available at the moment Me: Hello! I have a few available. Which pieces piqued your interest? "Richard Cutler": Hey, it's nice hearing from you, your art are awesome, I would want to purchase some of your artwork as NFT, will you sell to me ? Me: Stop trying to scam artists - we don't have any money for you to take. Kindly do everyone a favour and choke on a fart💚

Things have been so chaotic, I think I've hardly made *anything* in the last two years 🫠
So I've started making in tiny work sessions here & there to try & get some creative flow back. It's helping.

Here are two WIPs I'm scribbling with for acrylic practice!
#art #darkart #christie-adams.com
"Hydra 1" (FULL DESCRIPTION) A WIP of an acrylic painting on paper against a white cutting mat with blue measurement lines. The transluscent white lid of a plastic container can be seen on the right side, (which is being used as a palette), and has several yellow, white, brown and blue smears of paint on it. Green tape is visible around the edge and 7 black and silver clips have been used to secure it in place. The very incomplete painting depicts a hydra-like creature with 7 heads snarling at the viewer, and two iguana-like feet are seen supporting the creature's girth. The creature has many sharp white teeth in every maw, and some have long, snake-like tongues. The heads are monsterous, but vaguely humanoid, with foreward facing white eyes set in dark sockets. At the bottom, the website CHRISTIE-ADAMS.COM is overlaid digitally, and the image has been Glazed, because fuck Generative AI :) "Spooky Face WIP 1" (FULL DESCRIPTION) An image of a WIP painting in shades of black and white acrylic, surrounded by bright green painter's tape. The image is of a humanoid face, against a plain (unevenly applied) black background and is casting an infuriating reflection highlighting the right side more than it ought to. In the center, dominating the image, is a humanoid face, with a wide grin full of too many teeth, a long pointed nose and too-large bulging eyes set at different levels in the face. From the forehead up, the wrinkled skin begins to suggest twisted tree-like structures reaching upward. At the bottom right, the website CHRISTIE-ADAMS.COM is overlaid digitally, and the image has been Glazed, because fuck Generative AI :) "Spooky Face WIP 2" A closer crop of the former image, with some progress. An eye, and some detailing around the skin are shown, with my brush caught mid-stroke laying in detail on the eye. At the top, the website CHRISTIE-ADAMS.COM is overlaid digitally, and the image has been Glazed, because fuck Generative AI :)

It's everywhere - from advertising, to film, to games - even the displays in Artist Alleys & fairs are almost interchangeable, because everyone seems to be trying to match the same formula. We're being starved of the different & unique in others being buried under the media-equivalent of hard-tack
A looping gif of a caucasian man in a white short-sleeved shirt and a blue apron looking both mildly disturbed and worried as he clacks together a pair of hardtack biscuits he's just made. The show can be found on YouTube, called Tasting History with Max Miller. The host, Max, is the man featured in the gif, and it's a running gag in the channel to jump-cut to this moment everytime he mentions hardtack in a video.

I just want to make art, but *things* keep getting in the way, and by the time I have a moment to myself, it's midnight and there's not time more anything more than a warm-up sketch.
I haven't been able to *make* anything more involved than that in forever and it's driving me insane.

No cheating. Post tge last pic of your pet.
🤣 (she hates it when we go out)
A photo of the family cat Abigail "Abby" Brewster sitting in a green shopping bag. She's a tortoiseshell cat and her eyes appear to be glowing an ominous yellow in the image. The bag has white writing and (due to the way it's folded), reads: "I'M REUSABLE..... Remember me next time..."

Finally eating some treats in my cupboard I'd stashed & forgotten about 😅.
Today's find: Sable and Rosenfeld Tipsy Firey Olives (aquired last year on my birthday).

They're delicious, very spicy & a nice brine that's not *too* salty, but also ✨️Very Cursed✨️ to look at 🤣
7/10 on my surprise food list.

An animated gif with white text added, featuring a scene from Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom. His face is seen through a hole in a nearly black stone wall, lit from his side with orange light. He's over-enunciating a statement/plea, and the result is a meme worthy expression shown by the added white text: "We. Going. To DIE! :( Are.
