A # PSA today: if you've not come across soundimage.org you may want to! It's an enormous texture and music library maintained by our member Eric Matyas, and it contains thousands of texture images and soundtracks which are free to use in both free and commercial projects (he also offers paid services for custom music or non-attribution licenses, but mostly the site is donation funded).

Do make use of & support this fantastic resource!

„Cosmic Cow“, first # of the new year 🎉

A magic # and it's time-bending #-companion enjoying the night on Harris ^__^

I like # a lot, they're so chill and cool. This was probably inspired by John Maher's night photography of the #:

Vector drawing in dark greens and blues of a night-scene with a highland cow on a small peninsular. The cow's reflection in the water reflects the milky way in the sky above. There's a crow sittig on the cow's back but in the reflection it is somehow in flight.
 
Started this in spring for the 20 years of # (1.3) # # # but then moneywork happened. So what better time to post it now on Inkscape's actual birthday, Nov. 6!

Definitely inspired by # ^__^

I think I like the version without the person better, what do you think?

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vector drawing of a room in the evening. There's a desk placed in front of an open window with a laptop running Inkscape  on it. Outside the window (a black cat on the windowsill) is a fantastic landscape with Godzilla, ghosts, a castle, a dragon, a flying bus, crystals etc.
Full version of the same drawing showing more of the room, on the left there's an original Playstation running Diablo on an old TV. On the right an old-school cassette player/radio and a bedside cupboard. Lots of books, manga and magazines are strewn all over the room.
Another version of the illustration with a person sitting in the chair, eyes closed in thought, flipping a pencil. They have green-blue hair and brown skin, wearing a hoodie and short pants.
 
🎨 Artists!
My latest blog post:

* Working Safely with Pastels *

✅ This is a no-nonsense, straightforward guide. Browsing the Internet, one could get the idea that soft pastels are a dangerous artist's medium. I cut through conflicting information, draw on safety data from several pastel brands, and offer an inexpensive, highly effective solution for airborne pastel dust.

I'm #, # , # , # and I wanted to share some of my art with you.
I've been drawing since before I could speak, and I'm 53 now! I have a vast amount of work to show, so I decided to just share my four latest pieces, along with my links.

Art is my main form of communication and is really my only way to get through to other people. Some people think because I use a cute vocabulary, my art is just funny -and that's ok, but I hope viewers can see that I'm trying to express something deeper than that.

One of my lifelong projects is # Series, which I started in 2009 and continue to this day, showing my takes on the records that made me who I am. Music is my main inspiration in life!

I've worked as a graphic designer my whole adult life, until the beginning of COVID, when I lost the job I thought I'd have til I "retired": layout designer for my local newspaper. Since then, I've been working in a grocery store, thinking it would be temporary til things "got back to normal"... but they never did, and I think, never will. So I am definitely interested in creative opportunities!

My Site: http://www.norncutson.com/
My Shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/norncutson/shop

And here are my four most recent pieces. I am ALWAYS working on something, I've got sketches going, WIP going, and dreaming up (sometimes literally!) new ideas all the time!

Follow me for more!
I'm always posting sketches, WIPs and digging through old files!

Thanks for reading!

My take on the cover art of Shakespears Sister's GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD.<br /><br />A blue-tinted image. Two white women posing, one in profile, looking skyward, elegant; the other gazing directly at the viewer, creeping up in goblin mode.<br /><br />Text, top right corner, thin pale blue handwritten scrawl: "Shakespears<br />Sister<br />goodbye<br />cruel<br />world<br />x".
My take on the cover art of Alice Coltrane’s JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA.<br /><br />On an orange gradient background, a cis black woman sits on bended knee, in a sage blue and metallic gold kurta. She looks deep in heavy thought. Her hair is in a tight afro, she wears a headband that matches her outfit. She wears wooden beads and a gold necklace. The tail of her robe is spread out before her.<br /><br />Text in center top, pale yellow sans serif: "ALICE COLTRANE". Below, n yellow sans serif: "JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA. Below, in thin pale yellow sans serif: “Featuring".<br /><br />Below, in pale yellow sans serif; "PHAROAH SANDERS".
My take on Senorita Dido, of TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.<br /><br />A black and white image of a pale, moon-faced Latin woman. She gazes directly at the viewer with large, calm, dark eyes. She has a beauty mark over her right lip.<br />She has a modest feather headdress, jeweled barrette, layers of necklaces, and a dress with a regal collar. The dress has sequined detailing over sheer fabric. We see her in head-and-shoulders-view against a black background.
My illustration of the band Lush!<br />The four band members, from left to right: Phil King, Emma Anderson, Mili Berenyi and Chris Acland.<br />Phil stands with hands on hips, looking serious, wearing a black outfit with white V-shaped stripes. Emma is holding her guitar and wearing long sleeve ivory and ivory stockings under a black jumper. A white headband holders her dark hair back, and her bands shield her eyes. Miki wirlds her guitar. Her flaming red hair stands out, as does her green t-shirt with red trim, polka dot sequined skirt, ripped black stockings and red shoes with gold buckles. Chis is wearing a comfy cozy ivory fisherman's sweater, as he pops out from behind Miki, smiling and laughing.<br />Behind them is a psychedelic swirl of colors, lights, patterns and textures.

The progress... seems to play nicely with the color of my linnen shirt. I'm fully motivated to finish soon 🤣

A few weeks ago, I finished a five week bookmaking class at a local art center in my neighborhood. I have really wanted to do something with my hands and I've had such a great time making these books - it almost was like meditation. Doing it has helped me be more comfortable with learning from my mistakes. I'm so glad I did it!

I've included another photo of new books made from an arts pamphlet.

# # # # # # # # # #
A collection of various handmade notebooks on a bamboo desk. In the top row are two small pamphlet stitch books. In the middle row are two Coptic stitch books, two medium sized pamphlet stitch books, and two large pamphlet stich books. The bottom row has two accordion style books, two stab bind books, and one smaller pamphlet stitch books.
Two unfinished pamphlet stitch notebooks made from an arts brochure in Chicago. One has a rainbow image of an a owl with the skyline of the city. The other is a yellow and blue poster for the Andersonville Midsommar Fest. Both books are on a green cutting mat on a bamboo desk.
Three accordion books. One is open with a watercolor drawing of Montrose Beach made by my wife with the text "Montrose Beach - Like Eternity We Stay Together" April 15 2023. On the right panel of the book is a watercolor of an image from the Chicago Cultural Center. All books are on a bamboo table.

A long time ago before
I had a computer this is how I would express my need to create # Because I wasn't able to afford proper art supplies I used what ever I could. This is one example of the gifts I used to make and give away at Christmas time to family and friends. It is an inexpensive miniature wooden box from Hobby Lobby that I painted with leftover enamel paints from an old model car set that I found at a yard sale and using toothpicks for brushes

Hi all I’m Steve I create miniature pop culture photo art using figures, practical FX, homemade sets with a touch of digital work when required. No green screen or CGI I’m committed to creating as much as I can in camera. If you enjoy movies I’m sure you’ll enjoy my page. Please give me a follow if you like my work. I post new content everyday.
