Happening today! @astoriamysticcircle presents the Mystic Mega Market on the 31st Ave Open Street. Come check it out! 1-6pm on 31st Ave between 34th and 35th Street Astoria, Queens, NYC. This will probably be my only event this year and I'm bringing my full set up. I'll have original paintings, illustrations, and sculptures, as well as prints and a couple of merch items.

This little lady has gotten so much more confident and brave in the time she's spent with us. Niobe loves gentle pets and will lean into your hand if you hit the right spot. She smart, as well a great communicator both with her wide range of vocalizations and her body language. Her favourite activities include bird watching, playing with mouse toys, and snoozing. She's a proper and well behaved young cat who sometimes still gets the kitten sillies. Niobe would love to find a calm, quiet home that's just herself and a chill human or two. She's spayed, up to date on all her vaccines and you can apply to be her forever person on The Brooklyn Cat Cafe website. https://catcafebk.com/our-cats/?cat=20535374 #CatRescue #AdoptDontShop #BrooklynCatCafe

A final set of protected images to leave for this platform. The data centers being built to run these art plagiarism machines use more electricity than some small cities. Folks who live near them have developed serious health complications in some cases. It isn't cool, it isn't necessary, and it's accelerating climate change exponentially. #noai #noaiart

Leaving these protected images to remind you I haven't stopped making art. I just don't post it here anymore. If you want to keep following my artwork, you can find me on "Pay tree on". There's a free tier that allows you access to about 99% of my posts. I'm rebuilding my portfolio on the Cara app as well. Links for both sites in my bio. #noai #noaiart

Leaving these protected images here to remind you I'm still making art, but no new artworks will be posted to any Meta platform. Artists, start Glazing *everything* you post, regardless of where you post it. #noai #noaiart

This account is about to become an ay eye pro test space. Expect a great deal of nonsense and chaos over the next few weeks. I completely understand if you unfollow. But if you like my art, please find me elsewhere! I’m on Cara and pay tree on with the same name. No subscriptions or logins needed. Or sign up for my quarterly newsletter on my website, www.realbadkerning.com I know they say, “it’s not an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure.” But I think it’s important that you all know I’m doing it because of Meta’s destructive and invasive privacy and “AI” policies. I want to see Cara pied piper every artist off of this POS thieving excuse for a social network. Artists helped make Instagram what it was. Enjoy your kardashians I guess. #fyp #beautytips #eyeshadow #makeupideas

"Op-Ed" Paper, ink, gouache. 1/6 scale, 6x8". Created for the "Visions of a Free Palestine" exhibit and humanitarian aid fundraiser organized by @protectpalestineorg. Proceeds will benefit @aneraorg. This piece is part of the silent auction which begins today. You can bid even if you're not in NYC! Check the link in my bio for more information, tickets, and donations. Journalists have always played a crucial role in conflict reporting. The Geneva Convention (Additional Protocol I, Article 79) and clearly marked "PRESS" gear kits are supposed to protect their lives, as well as clearly denote their roles as non-combatants in dangerous areas. Targeting them is explicitly a war crime.  In Gaza and the occupied territories, these iconic blue vests have instead made them targets. The Kevlar plates in the lining have become as effective as the paper the news used to be printed on.  In spite of this, Palestinian journalists continue to risk life and limb daily to broadcast the truth on the ground directly to our phone screens. Their words and photos are a lucid op-ed to the propaganda circulated by the major news outlets. They have woken the world, and we owe a tremendous debt to them that can only be repaid by liberation. No one is free, until everyone is free! Free Palestine! 🍉

Finally finished! These were done by request for my niece and nephew. I built the sets and used @safariltd and #miniwhinnies miniatures in the scene. The unicorns were made from regular horses. I added the horns and repainted them myself. The unicorn side features a secret underground lake with bioluminescent flora. The dragon side has a treasure cave filled with coins, jewels, books, and other trinkets. . . . . . #bookend #diorama #unicorn #dragon #unicorns #dragons #diy #FantasyArt #FantasyArtist #IndependentArtist #NewArtwork #WorkingArtist #FirstReel #Artist #SupportArtists #3DArt #FantasyScene #ToyCustomizer #OOAK #OOAKArt #CustomMade #Rainbow #Forest #MountainCave #UndergroundLake #IMadeThis
