My Little Kitty Cat Is Kinda Blegh Today And Progress On One Panel. Learned Gesso And Gum Arabic Don't

Thank you to everyone who came by!

Now that realmscon is wrapped up, I am on the process of overhauling my shop to include new pieces and prints! Keep an eye out :D and again thanks for saying hi/asking for commissions!

Sketch is done time for gesso and masking #wip #javelina #skull #jesibeans #jgodfrey #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr

And something from glass-blowing I’m actually pleased with! Well, I’m proving day by day I’m incompetent at glass-blowing (for now, I guess,) and my art teacher has determined that I should just make figurines. They just came naturally to me.

So enjoy a little snake/cobra. Ain’t he cute?

Kyrie (eleison) 2020, 10x20-ish mixed media on masonite Media, in no specific order: Watercolor, acrylic, acryla gouache, gold and silver leaf, gold mica flake, lace

Done for @capri-bigbang2k19 

According to the date on my phone, I finished the sketch in late August. I finished not too long ago, making this my first painting of 2020. How fitting, given this piece includes a lot of firsts: mounting a piece on masonite with matte medium as an adhesive; using squeeze bottles and blunt needles to do fine lining/piping (I need to go thinner,) and making shell gold for the purpose of being liquid gold paint (a technique adapted from how Russian icon painters make shell gold, which is both time-consuming and kind of fun.) I also used matte medium as more adhesive for the lacing after looking into how collage and assemblage artists make their pieces stick without fear of glue breaking or yellowing.

I'd visit this intermittently along with working on bees for my local town - it became a form of therapy in which I was allowed to “get real fucking weird,” as some professionals say.

The dried grass, camellias, roses, sweet peas and baby's breath are a reference to my writing contribution to the Captive Prince Big Bang, which needs to be worked on oops, but I got until Saturday.

Title is from the Christian liturgy, but also a reference to my album of 2019: Lingua Ignota’s Caligula, specifically If the Poison Won’t Take You... (TW: loud music, references to domestic abuse.)

How to Safely and Ethically Film Police Misconduct

Know your rights.

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.

At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.

Working on things, forever happy with myself
