Just saw a pigeon with its head bitten off. Who does that
Painting star dots with calculated precision so they appear random in just the right way
If the process is excruciating, it's not much likely to stick

I've been very absent from social media for a multitude of reasons, but I still am, even though I am also not
I was going through my archives and found these portraits I created some years ago, for the Brazilian edition of The Five, Hallie Rubenhold’s book about Jack the Ripper’s victims. I spent quite some time researching the women, hoping to give each their own features and personality.
Can’t you see the divine in the mundane? Do you need the robes and the rules and the stale ritual? Don’t you know that god is a exhaust burnt fennel growing from the central reservation of the A38?
I have to wonder how many of these are AI users themselves who cannot tell the difference, or do it to hurt, or to profit from a world where everyone distrusts everything. 'Cause when AI can't make real art, making most people stop believing in the existence of real art seems like the next trick.
I was very happy with the response to my previous ACEOs, so I created a few more. This time, featuring crystals. ✨ They can be found in my ko-fi shop: ko-fi.com/carolinejamh...

I've been creating these miniature paintings (ACEOs) in gouache. I really enjoy painting in small size like this. They are available in my ko-fi shop: ko-fi.com/carolinejamh...
I found out that you can glaze over gouache with transparent layers and that changes everything! Here I was laboriously applying opaque color when I wanted to correct a hue... I thought applying a thin layer would just reactivate the paint and make a mess, but it can be done if you're careful.

I'm currently without a computer, so I don't have access to all my files and usual tools. But I have a tablet now and I'm practicing drawing with a different software! I made this as a study, and since I still need to work, I'm offering commissions in this style for now. ko-fi.com/c/2f10b8e8d9
Creative people tend to be more empathetic because empathy takes creative ability. To be able to conceive a living a different reality, with different conditions, to imagine being a different person and how it'd feel, and understand that their experience is just as real as your own.
