This is 'Mametz Wood' by Edward Handley-Read. It looks like a nice atmospheric oil painting with the light diffusing through an ancient forest until you look closer. Broken weapons and body parts litter the scene, which was painted following Handley-Read's deployment to take Mametz Wood. #art #war

So I'm doing a painting based on The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci. It's the largest painting I'll have done, and it's a challenge: including building and stretching the custom canvas.

Building a custom 150x80cm canvas for a commission. That's the framing done, now to stretch the canvas. #art #oilpaint #canvas

Although it appears to be safe to say it here, there is massive censorship on all other platforms that Meta and X have any involvement in. Which makes it difficult to openly show concern for overt fascism that is sweeping the USA.

While I enjoy a chocolate sundae, I'm not sure that this is an appropriate response. (Yes, this is official training, and no there is no next related slide).

Tiktok continues to bat hard for the corporate US healthcare system. I'm not sure if it's a tactic to try to stop the US ban, but it's definitely automatic, AI, and keyword driven.

How bad is censorship on tiktok right now?
This bad:

I ignore the stares from my numerous other unfinished paintingd as I start a new one.
Ignore them, my precious.

Some people consider using tools in art as cheating. I'll use whatever I need to get the result I'm after. Except AI. AI can get directly in the bin.
