'Pikachu Family Holiday Art'


A crayon drawing of the Pikachu family making holiday art. Pikachu painted a snowy daytime scene with a tree in it and is showing it off for the fictional camera, while Pichu is painting a snowman set against a night scene, and Raichu is making a paper tree. There are various art supplies scattered on the table with glitter spills of assorted colors as well. In the background is a paper tree decorated with pawprints, a pawprint antler reindeer, and a paper snowman.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap M4/3 35mm prime lens mounted to it that I'm going to be messing around with for the foreseeable future when photographing any more art.

GenAI is a fraud and it needs to start being treated like a fraud.


'Block City'


A mixed-media drawing of Hamtaro, Bijou, and Penelope playing in Mega Bloks laid out like a 'city' of sorts.

This was drawn using Crayola markers and Arteza brush pens, with watercolors also layered onto the characters and for Hamtaro and Bijou's eye reflections, and was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f4.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it, and I added a Polachrome sim filter to it.

Gardner Bryant - Valve's endgame


This is actually kinda sad to think about.


So, this just came up in my mind, but this is kinda sad to think about; as of 2021, when Embracer bought out Dark Horse, out of all the major comic houses in the US, the only one left who's still independent is Image, as DC is owned by WB/Netflix, Marvel is owned by Disney, and as of 2021, Dark Horse is owned by Embracer.

If any industry needs more indie publishing houses like Image, it's the Western comic industry.

'Snowball Fight'


A mixed-media painting of a pair of squirrels engaged in a snowball fight with a third just chilling next to a tree.

There are a couple snowmen in the scene too.

This was painted with watercolor and then I layered crayons on top of that, including glitter crayons in attempt to simulate shimmer from sunlight reflecting on snow, and I went with a purple sky because I thought it was cuter than a gray sky.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens and it had a Polachrome sim filter applied to it.

'Gingerbread Playhouse'


A marker and watercolor crayon drawing of Hamtaro and Bijou playing around a cardboard gingerbread playhouse.

This was drawn in Arteza brush pens and Crayola Signature watercolor crayons, and photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it.

'Holiday Craft Time'


A crayon drawing of a pair of pet mice playing on a craft table during a holiday-themed craft night with their caretakers. Scattered across the table are various craft projects that kids did, ranging from a pair of paper tree decorations; one decorated with glitter for tinsel and ornaments, and the other decorated with handprints and glitter for ornaments, a paper circle ornament decorated with glitter, a paper reindeer with blue handprint antlers, and a pinecone tree, as well as various art supplies and random glitter spills.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

Friendica is great so far.


So, I'm really liking Friendica so far, apart from the occasional instability on the instance I'm using; it's straight-up like Facebook if it were an actually sane platform, on top of all the benefits of the rest of the Fediverse, being an open, decentralized platform running on an open protocol.

'Festive Art Time with Pichu and Raichu'


A marker and watercolor crayon drawing of Pichu and Raichu making a winter-themed collage collab featuring themselves engaged in a snowball fight in their playroom. They're surrounded by assorted colors of construction paper that have all had shapes cut out of them, and there's also two pairs of scissors and a couple bottles of glue next to them, both of them having been spilled out on the floor.

I also gave my new watercolor crayons a try for this one, in addition to using my Crayola markers.

This was drawn with a combination of Crayola markers and watercolor crayons, and it was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19.35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount lens mounted to it.

Hello!! This is my #introduction post i suppose. I'm Lavali, I do art, focusing on naturalist illustration and I love drawing birds! I'm pretty new to socials so I'm still figuring out how to do stuff. I was on instagram, but stopped for a while, and when I came back it sucked so :/ Here's some #art

in reply to Lavali Art

Hi! I'm Josh and I mainly like to draw cute art, mostly centered around rodents or bunnies with the occasional Pokemon or Hamtaro art.

My current fave drawing media are oil pastels, chalk, and crayons in any order, but I like traditional art in general.

This stuff is pretty good too, and here's some of my stuff as well.

The three Fediverse platforms I mainly use for art posting are Pixelfed, Mastodon, and most recently Friendica,

You know what the particularly sad part about this is? Our trucks weren't always this big.


I'm going to keep saying this, but screw AI, or more specifically, screw generative AI.


'Fun with the Ornaments'


An oil pastel drawing of a pair of pet mice playing with ball ornaments that fell on the floor as the tree is being trimmed.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Trimming the Tree'


A crayon drawing of a pair of pet mice playing in a tree as it's being trimmed. The brown mouse is playing in the tree while the white mouse is giggling at him in the foreground.

In the background are varying colors of tinsel and varying artworks that the mice's caretakers made over time.

There are also some ball ornaments of varying colors strewn about the scene.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount lens attached to it, and I fired the flash for this one in an attempt to get the glitter crayons I used to show up in the shot.

'Holding paws under a tree in the snow.'


A chalk drawing of Pikachu and Buneary holding paws under a tree in the snow. There are snowmen strewn about the scene.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 lens mounted to it.

Next time I make any more chalk art, I'm photographing it before fixing it down with hairspray.

'Art Time with a Pair of Mice'


A chalk drawing of a pair of mice making art; the brown mouse is fingerpainting and is smudged with the paint colors he's using, and the white mouse is drawing a sunny field picture with crayons.

They're in a playroom with various other artwork on the wall.

'Watercolor Mouse'


A watercolor painting of a mouse chilling on a desk next to some letter and number blocks.

This was painted on cardboard, mostly by laying the paint on super thick and blending it directly on the substrate.

'Chalk Hamtaro'


A chalk drawing of Hamtaro chilling on a desk, surrounded by Tinker Toys. I missed playing with this medium, but now finally have the chance to since I have hairspray coming in to use as fixative.

Also, apparently sidewalk chalk works really well on cardboard as that's what I used for the foreground and background and some linework.

'Glitter Pineco'


A crayon drawing of Pichu dressing Pineco up like a giant, living glitter pinecone ornament, as a cute take on Pineco being a pinecone. Also, the green glitter on and surrounding Pineco and that is on Pichu's paws from throwing it onto Pineco, was actually colored in using a glitter crayon.

The dialogue translates to:

- 'Pichuu!' (Tadaa!)
- 'Pineco! ^^' (I'm a giant glitter pinecone now! ^^)

A crayon drawing of Pichu dressing Pineco up like a giant, living glitter pinecone ornament. He's surrounded by a ring of green glitter where Pichu threw it on him after painting his armor tips with glue. Pichu's paws are also covered in green glitter from that.

These photos are from last weekend. I provided a free Clay Play table for an event at the local skatepark. My husband’s a skateboarder & skatepark designer so I got linked in through his network. It was so sweet, fun and, best of all, relaxing. A few kids got hooked and stayed at the table for the entire four hours I was there. It’s incredible how #clay can captures kids’ attention in that way. #kidsart #pottery #ceramics

So, here's a chill artist talk stream from Osa.


'Pikachu and Buneary art collab'

'Making a Giant Paper Mache Egg' + April Showers.....'


A crayon drawing of Pichu and Togepi making a giant paper mache egg + a crayon drawing of Pikachu, Buneary, Pichu, and Togepi going puddle stomping during a rain shower.

Also, this is what the dialog translates to for the first drawing:

- 'Piichuuu.... Pichu-pi! >w< (Oooohhh, slimy.... This is fun! >w<)'
- 'Toki-tokiii! ^v^ (Hiii! ^v^)'

Dear media of the world,
When an autocrat admiring the aggressor sits with the aggressor and together they write up the terms on which the victim should surrender, it's not a peace plan/proposal, much less a peace deal.
Stop parroting the autocrat!
in reply to Kees van der Leun

OK, maybe the 'together' part was a bit exaggerated. More of a translation from Russian to English. Others already pointed out that this was still visible in the odd syntax.
