As far as I can tell #artvsartist is still more of an Insta thing, but I think it's a fun way of looking back at things one has made over the year. I made two this time! One of my more representational/realistic stuff, and one of the abstract.
A collage of nine equally sized images. The three on top and bottom are portraits of dogs painted with gouache. The middle row are, from left to right: a light switch plate featuring a small painting of Deep Space 9 from Star Trek, a selfie of a white woman with blonde and purple hair, and another light switch plate painted with bunches of lilacs. Another collage of nine images. The one in the very center is a selfie of a white woman with blonde and pink hair, black lipstick, and dark smokey eye makeup. The surrounding eight images are all colorful abstract artworks, featuring undulating lines and shapes.

I've seen a lot of "most americans won't even know this happened until it hurts them" and maybe that's true, but I have seen a LOT LOT LOT of people calling and pushing their reps this week, people who I don't normally see engaged at this level, so holding onto that right now

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff

-Water for tear gas
-sudecon wipes for mace
-if no sudecon, wash mace with water

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS.

Just use bottled water please.
tangledwilderness.bsky.social Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness @tangledwilderness.bsky.social · Jun 7
Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is:

1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible)
2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.

Time for a new #meettheartist 🥰 not a whole lot of information, but hopefully you learn a little something about me that you didn't already know! #digitalart #procreateart
a colorful digital art piece that features a full body self portrait of the artist on the left, and a fair bit of hand written text on the right. at the top, above both the self portrait and the rest of the text, are the words "Meet The Artist". Then, underneath that but to the right of the portrait, is written "About Me", and then the artist's name and pronouns: Amanda Stong, She/Her. There is also a little bisexual pride flag to the left of her name. Next are two big pink shapes that have some of the artist's likes and dislikes listed on them. Her likes include: weightlifting, Star Trek, crochet, Black Sails, lavender, lilacs, & peonies, Stardew Valley, tiramisu, Dropout TV, and charcuterie. Her dislikes include: JK Rowling, The Algorithm, "AI" nonsense everywhere, anti-vaxxers & anti-maskers, and salt & vinegar chips. The self-portrait on the left depicts a white woman with blue hair. She is wearing blue denim overalls and a magenta crop top with big puffy sleeves that are off the shoulder. She is also wearing elf ears, so her ears appear pointed. She is posed playfully with one hand, palm down, under her chin, and the other, also palm down, at around hip height. The self-portrait is painted in a fairly realistic style, but the sketchy line drawing is still visible. A closeup of the previous image, focused just on the face of the artist's self-portrait, so you can see her features and expression more clearly

a digital illustration of two gauntlets/hands, a dark one with golden details and white/lighter one, both inspired by renaissance 15th/16th century armor. their fingers are slightly reaching out for each other. both hands are wrapped in a red ribbon that says 'No Love, however brief, is wasted.' In between there are white periwinkles as a symbol for fond memories

Today's look ^_^
A selfie of a white woman with blue hair looking at the camera and making a winky face, smiling and sticking her tongue out a little. She is wearing a red v-neck T-shirt and a baseball cap. The main part of the hat is red, the brim of the cap is blue on top and yellow underneath. Another selfie of the same woman but with her head angled down a little more, her hand on the brim of the cap, so you can see the hat is embroidered with Hello Kitty and a chibi version of All Might from My Hero Academia.

Back on my bullshit (colorful squiggles) 😌 #gouache #abstractart #abstractpainting
An abstract gouache painting of many thin squiggly shapes, starting in the center and then forming sort of concentric rings out from there. Many different colors of the rainbow are used.

A lot of creative folks are demoralized right now. Hell, I'm one of them. Maybe some of them are helping you through this rough time. If so, do me a solid:

Share their stuff. Drop them a kind word. Tip their Ko-fis, or join their Patreons. It seems like nothing, but it's everything right now. 🤘

Painted this for my mom for her 70th birthday next week. The photo reference I used is from a trip she and I took to England back in the spring of 2014.

A gouache painting of a seaside cliff in Tintagel, Cornwall, at the height of spring. There are soft green grasses blanketing the rocks, with occasional clusters of wildflowers. The ocean can be seen in the background.

I have made CHEESE BOYS
A photo of a sculpture made of colored Sculpey Clay. The sculpture is based on the Richard Scarry drawing of 6 mice riding in a car made out of a triangle block of yellow Swiss cheese. The little happy mice poke their heads out of the holes in the cheese. It's really cute imo, he popped off when he drew this one. The entire sculpture is about three inches long and fits in the artist's hand. Another angle of the same sculpture. Another angle of the same sculpture. The original drawing by Richard Scarry. It has words under it that read "Have you ever seen a cheese car on the highway?" No Richard, I haven't, but I would cry from joy if I did.

New haaaaair! 🥰💜💙🩵
a selfie of me, a white woman with straight blue hair, looking at the camera and smiling. My hair is layered, with the longest layers reaching just past my shoulders, and the shade of blue is very bright - similar to a sky blue, but a little darker. There is also a little bit of a darker cobalt blue and purple at the roots, creating a subtle gradient

'Castle ruins in the wild' - this aerial embroidery took me over 50 hours! All those tiny French knots... building up the wild ground around the ruins :) I know they aren't everyone's favourite but I could do those knots forever! Available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #landscape
