Title: Symbiosis

This #krita painting of a clownfish and sea anemone was made for the November art challenge event hosted by @artsallianceofstfd.bsky.social.

This painting is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Masque Of The Red Death." I painted it for an art Show called "Spectre of the Raven," which was part of an immersive event called Edgar Allan Poe: A Tell-Tale Soirée.

Painted in #krita.

Anne will be at the "No Kings" demonstration in Bridgeport, Connecticut today.

I am represented by the sign I made for her.

I was already committed to helping one of the Alliance members hang a one-man art show in our gallery.

A woman holds a sign with the words "This is America. There are no kings." Next to the words is a cartoon of Donald Trump, who is naked, while wearing a tiny crown and holds a toilet plunger as his scepter. The image is a reference to the fable, "The Emporer's New Clothes."
