Pigeon attempts to court falcon

[noegrets]

For all those in the notes - peregrine falcons hunt by dive-bombing their prey; this falcon however is currently stationary and cannot dive-bomb much of anything. In this moment, the pigeon is safe. The falcon however may not recover from the embarrassment.

[blastovkatamarinecromancy]

I can't tell if that's a giant pigeon or a tiny falcon

[falcon:] ...Just kill me now. :/

so was no one was gonna tell me that the painting saturn devouring his son was found painted directly onto the walls of the artist’s home after he died and that it may not even be depicting the greek legend, that’s just the most common interpretation??????

[wizard0rb]

hello????

[cursed-and-haunted]

Not only was it painted on the wall of his house, it was painted on the wall of his dinning room.

Like imagine you go over to your boy's house for dinner and that's across from you while you eat. Like would you say something or just

[gayanese]

This is the painting is question by Francisco Goya. Not only was this painting found, but a series of 13 other disturbing pieces of art called his “Black Paintings”. At this point in Goya’s life he had lost his hearing (well most of it) and had moved into a villa where he became a recluse. This was directly after the Napoleonic wars. These paintings were never meant to be found. They were never commissioned and he solely made these for himself.

[breya-etherium-shaper]

This is where they think each of those paintings was placed in the house.

I’ve been looking for this really helpful post about artist growth… where you get to these points where your skill doesn’t match your knowledge of what SHOULD look good, and then it flips… it looked like a double helix on the graph, if that helps. If anyone happens to have that pic I’d love to see it again!

[sasharjones]

Here you go!

There's also this one, I just prefer the one above because it's easier for my brain to parse.

[eisly-deactivated20251004]

THANK YOU!!! This is exactly the one. I like both versions but yeah the first is a bit easier to take in

"Art is a Cycle" (second, green/pink/yellow graph) is by Shattered-Earth on DeviantArt and I link it all the time: https://www.deviantart.com/shattered-earth/art/Art-Cycle-329593292

The first, blue/red/orange graph, "Improvement in Painting," is from a blog post by Marc Dalessio that Shattered-Earth cites as the original inspiration for the art cycle graph: https://www.marcdalessio.com/self-portraits-over-the-years-2/

A commission work of mine! A piece that I am really excited to work on!

twitter: currently owned by techbro pissman

tumblr: actively removing functionality and bloating the interface with things nobody uses

discord: being retooled by ex-Meta management who don't understand the appeal of the platform

youtube: neutered by advertisers and algorithms and also tiktokification

reddit: half of the site is down due to protests about the outrageous monetization of third-party API support

facebook: my mom is on there

[spiribia]

literally all ballister from nimona movie does is stand there and look sadly at people with sad puppy dog eyes and yet everyone is like lets beat him with sticks and rocks and kill him and explode him with missiles and imprison him and explode his whale

[meredithmcclaren]

Just a little comic.
