Last year I did a semester at Smart School with Sam Weber that challenged my process in a way I'm still getting to grips with. I've not shared much of the work I did as I'm still figuring things out, but here's one of the pieces I finished. "Echo" watercolour & acrylic 9 x 12" #traditionalart #art

a painting of a very stylised big cat figure, its body curved around the silhouette of a woman, whose arm is in its mouth. Its body is covered in patterns like stripes, spots and circles where the woman's silhouette bleeds into the dark background. She is arched backwards and the lines of her body help outline the curves of the cat's leg, body and mouth

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Hey so moderation chosen and set up for individual posts makes the most sense. But posts get auto-mislabeled all the time, and you think applying an often inaccurate auto-mod to an entire account won't cause more harm than good? You'll mass hide accounts that are posting within rules this way.

The release also includes a rebuilt GIF picker, a refreshed photo viewer, expanded moderation labeling at the account level, and a fix for a bug that was silently dropping some iOS video uploads.

This is genuinely fucked up, you are disappearing accounts from audiences completely that have posted nsfw, the majority of people who sign up here don't even know about the default moderation settings. Tagging per post was fine, people preferred it!

One more #Mermay! Lionfish make for such a good mermaid base. Also trying out a very different palette with the #colorcube again. Handmade watercolour paints in the photo are from Beam Paints, a gift from a friend and are lovely! Base for the gouache used on top.

A curvy mermaid with long lustrous hair is sitting atop some underwater coral looking plants, a bright red gem around her neck. She is poised, looking down, and her fins and hair are stylistically shaped to create pleasing patterns. She is modelled after a lionfish, with long spiky finsphoto of a painting of a mermaid, on top of a table, surrounded by cards with colour palettes on them, the topmost of which matches the painting. The box of the cards can be seen in the background, and two paintbrushes and a rainbow set of watercolour paints set in a half cut log can also be seen.

What an incredible mark! I started doing art embroidery last year because my headphones decided to flake vinyl into my mouth. I thought, why not do something incredible that I've always wanted to try? Now I'm doing a larger piece to be framed in a shadowbox.
