Oh no. This place is sounding more and more like Twitter every day :(
I'm so tired of content about US politics, hating Tesla trucks, discussing vaccines...

What are some good art/film/game/dance/creator accounts I should follow?

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.
Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

I've been saving these brushes that I bought in Florence many years ago. Somehow, they seemed too precious to use, waiting for a painting worthy of them...
Yesterday I finally realized how silly that is. Anyway, welcome to a new WIP 🧵!

ugh I hope nobody leaks one of these to a reporter! especially not one with Signal, such as meganfarokhmanesh.76, at a publication with great policies for protecting sources, like WIRED

The coolest part about games media layoffs is how all the severance packages now include an NDA requiring laid off employees to stay silent about the layoff, further suppressing reporting on the same corporate behaviours those outlets likely cover when it’s dame devs/publishers.

Tonight's concert shoot was the most fun. Just phenomenal energy by John Cxnnor and all their guests. ⚡

Not strictly #fineart, but this project took up most of my time last year. So rewarding to dive into Armenian culture like this, exploring my roots.

Also, this is the account for my photo/video and other hired work. ✨ @zakarianvisuals.bsky.social

I spent 6 months last year on creating a new workflow for making animated films, using 2D, 3D and Virtual Reality.

This is the result: a music video for the brilliant, Armenian artist Arthur Khachents.

Some experiences are so good that you spontaneously want to support the creators.
I had the best time playing Scorn (by Ebb Software) lately.

Masterful, interactive interpretation of 2 of my favorite artists: Beksinski & Giger.
What an accomplishment! 11/10!

Scorn is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure game set in a nightmarish universe of odd forms and somber tapestry.
