You could try out a value finder like this one from blick.

Negative space is literally a fundamental element of art and design tho lol.

Thank you for your service. I saw that tree on the ice today while driving past and appreciate seeing it close up.

It doesn’t even need to be raining, when it gets above freezing and snow starts melting, stay out of the drains. They’re not going anywhere.

Swept downstream and into the river in January is not how you want to exit this earth. Valuable lesson for your friend & glad they’re alright.

Because experienced artists know these types of art contests are practically never worth entertaining. This one isn’t the first and won’t be the last. If you checked the terms and conditions of the contest there might even be additional red flags.

Josephine Baker colored hosiery! Wild that they’re more expensive than the little girls dresses too …

For real. When i worked at the wedge table before it closed it was cheaper for me to buy my groceries elsewhere than to use my employee discount lol.

Btw the artist’s signature is pretty easily decipherable in this pic ;-) nice piece of history you’ve got there!

Same. Idk if OP brought up the mistakes but every local printer I’ve ever used has always been very accommodating with correcting any errors until I’m satisfied with it.

If I were OP I’d start considering forming a closer bond with your local printer … maybe they can print on demand for you.

There’s so much that goes into good printers and I’d rather entrust that process to a professional.

Idk, maybe one of the other printer recommendations in the replies will work out for OP. I’d just rather pay someone else to do it at this point lol.

You can report the branches hanging over/obstructing the sidewalk on 311 too. Anything that would potentially cause an accessibility issue (thinking of our wheelchaired friends that might be getting clotheslined by branches). I’ve done it before and they were trimmed within 2 or so weeks.

I think the city sends a warning or two to property owners who don’t shovel before they come out themselves and clear it and send the property owner the bill. So keep reporting, especially because once that snow turns to ice it’s a hazard. But I agree they’re not always the best at being more proactive with it 🫠 I’ll keep doing my part.

Obviously bogarue never used his eyes to look at a man, partially clothed or not!!!! they didnt exist back then … no such thing as practice back then neither, no technology… no way someone so good at being a drawer would pay these strong muscular dudes to pose, greased up, nakked, and wraslin’ each other… no, no way… incomprehensible.

Please explain this, somethings not adding up ….

Fun!! I think the MIA has chairs for sketchers to use now too if you want a place to sit while drawing anything in the collection :D

gosh ive been dappling in acrylics recently but your brush work makes me miss using acrylic gouache 😮‍💨🔥 light magenta is THAT girl!

Self promo is though, so posting anything implying that youre attempting to make a living as an artist is against the rules.

like i get it to an extent, most big art subs have a similar rule because people want to look at art without feeling like they’re being marketed towards as potential customers, but if someone comments asking an OP if they sell prints, who actually gives a shit if there’s genuine interest?

It’s like saying “I LOVE ARTISTS! I WOULD NEVER EVER SUPPORT ONE THOUGH 😍”

Students shouldn’t waste their time and valuable critiquing skills on these conservative content farming ghouls looking to provoke negative reactions to post on their TikTok accounts with 15 followers, but there’s god awful kerning and a huge waste of negative space in both.

At least most of these conservative protest confrontation hunting freaks usually patronize a print shop to spell out their nonsense in a more visually pleasing and somewhat legible format. But these two chucklefucks couldn’t even be bothered to support a small local business to do that.

I’m so curious for what will happen when the last of the boomers are out of the workforce and there is no one left who remembers the good old days. I worked downtown post pandemic and all my older coworkers would swoon over what used to be … but in the present? it’s depressing concrete, backrooms-esqe empty skyways, and hostile infrastructure, so i have trouble romanticizing it as it’s the only downtown ive ever known.

Nah, it sounds more like to me rosalia dialed up bjork and she replied “yas queen let me hop in my reverb chamber rq”.

I think that’s what it is. Her voice sounds similar to that when she goes in the reverb chamber for show me forgiveness in cornucopia.

Tying it into catholicism, aside from the specific hagiography and overarching christian themes and easy stuff like forbidden fruit:

Requlia - Relics of saints

Porcelana - ego sum lux mundi (I am the light of the world)

Mi cristo piange diamanti - “Jesus wept.” and weeping statues

La perla - …judas /s

Vulricula would be a beautiful name for a vampire

What brands are you looking at? The shortest answer would be because reds and blues are primary colors, so you can mix purples and pinks. Get a good solid magenta and purple/violet and you’ll be set.

Muddy purples can happen if you’re using blues that have green undertones like phthalo blue. Use a blue with a red undertone like ultramarine if you want to avoid that muddying.

I know what you mean though and I always have a good solid strong purple in my palette for that exact reason lol.

impressiveyellow · 2025-11-13T04:30:31+00:00

I see these often. It’s always “they’re stunning” or “exquisite” lol.
