This is my deal, if I’m coming back: I’m an artist, I’ve worked irl for 30 years as my full time occupation. I’ve exhibited internationally, am in museum collections, worked as a curator and director of a photography gallery, taught photography and tech for 12 years, threw it all aside to paint. 1/2

Another day in Pride Month, another “Afraid Of Nothing” digital painting #5, ARIA. AIIA, GAN, Procreate for a crazy amount of painting and developing the original GAN sketch. This was the most to date, 16.5 hours of screen touching and over 40K strokes. Imagine being able to track that! HAPPY PRIDE❤️

Back in the studio today working on my physical paintings. Yes, it is possible to do it all. GAN and digital work is reserved for those times I’m chilling and thinking about stuff. This grandmother is on fire. 🤓 WIP, oil on linen

I’m not black, but this is transparent. Being threatened “metaphorically” with a shove off a high point is not a problem, it’s the problem that defines the problem so moving forward it will be a problem? Yeah, no. That’s not how conflict resolution works. Grandfathering in past harm as acceptable? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bsky is not a place I’ve found welcoming for any of my interests, tbh. People are siloing art into camps, invites have been given to people who are deeply flawed and purposefully setting out to be hateful. I’m not here for it. Being free to be lewd is not enough to sustain social interaction 🕳

It’s important to understand that being a marginalized person doesn’t automatically confer intersectionality or compassion/sensitivity to the experiences of other folx at other margins. Check your own isms - only by understanding your self can you begin to understand others. Be kind.

Today marks the first long weekend of summer in Canada (depending on provincial holidays and the specifics of your job we enjoy one statutory every month of the year except November. March and April get Easter to share/move around)

We were talking about nature in the hellthread last night so I made a thing. It’s GAN, word prompts only. I’m good. If you don’t like GAN, keep moving. Nothing for you to see here.

It seems that art on bsky has been a failure to launch. I’m wondering if it passed me by entirely, is someone out there experiencing things differently?

Hints for newcomers to bsky: if you are about to sit down for a snack please hit “what’s hot” and get out of your usual stream of events that might interfere with your digestion

I’ve been in the studio working on an abstraction - needed a mindset shift away from figuration for a minute to loosen up my thinking - figuration is intense in a different way. I do both in addition to GAN.
