Here is Instagram preventing me from posting a link to the web. The "Report a problem" link does nothing.
Evil.
It's so sad that people and artists in particular are generally bad at managing websites. It's so easy to create your own gallery page with paintings of other artists, directly linking to their galleries. If everyone did this, there would be an infinite gallery of artworks for everyone to visit; without ads or other imposed content.
Dear @QOTO, I'm getting a "500" error when searching for these Mastodon users on other servers in an attempt to follow them:
- @paulg
- @marius
I use the advanced web interface (screenshot). I checked that the mas.to server doesn't block qoto.org according to https://mas.to/about.
Yhsiop, March 2024.
You saw it first on Mastodon.
Xu Hongming exhibit at Qualia in Palo Alto. I recommend seeing this in person if you have a chance. It's huge.

The Time Traveler (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. And then the dragons arrived.
Wait, what? (screenshot #1)
Do I read this correctly: Artists submit their work for an auction, and if they're selected and the painting sells, they get between 0% and 15% of the selling price.
Oh, they list "benefits" (screenshot #2). Let's see.
> All selected artists will be included in our robust promotional campaigns.
Oh, you'll use my art in an ad campaign for free. Awesome. I'm gonna be famous.
> Artists will receive bidder information from their sold artwork after the Auction.
Do we get their cell number and the name of the school attended by their children? I can't wait to stalk them.
> All artist applicants will have their work seen by local art-world luminaries who jury the work for inclusion consideration.
Sweet, a jury of local randos will get to see my painting.
> Your contribution as an Auction Artist directly supports ArtSpan’s programs, and has a positive impact on our local art community.
Sounds like an ineffective way for artists to give their money to other artists.
You know what, I'll skip this and focus on making art.

Fascinating advertising tactic in the insurance business: insult the people you don't want as customers because they're the ones who would cost you more money.
Left: Tuna Fishing by Salvador Dalí (1966-1967). It's 3 by 4 meters!
Right: Day and Night by M.C. Escher (1938).
Your job is to find the Escher birds in the Dalí painting.

First piece of 2024! Here's some music I was listening to, a cover of Depeche Mode's Somebody by hante: https://youtu.be/l84NU2ZWo9I
Remember The Dress, a viral sensation back in 2015? I was wondering if I was still perceiving it like I used to, that is white and gold. I now see it "as it is", i.e. a terrible photo that could be interpreted either as a completely backlit white and gold dress or a blue and black dress with strong lighting coming from inside the store. I also see the colors that I would have to use to turn the photo into a painting. This is probably as a result of spending a lot of time looking at paintings and painting.
Do you see it differently than you used to 8 years ago?
I'm reading about giant dinosaurs and now I'm convinced that their large size required lightweight bones which became later key to evolving into flying birds.
