Curious what vibes are apparent. I like what's here but I'm not sure it's doing what I want it to.

I strongly recommend following Artlust on these platforms if you're interested in art, history, and anthropology and where these intersect.

Artlust is really good on matters of gender and social analysis (think like examining and deconstructing beauty norms or gendered fashion trends). The linked video shows how they get very near to Marxian analysis and there's obviously Foucault being drawn upon too but in a very simple and relatable way.

If you're looking for a really interesting contribution to your feed, mostly through bite-sized videos, that range from just pure appreciation for art to discussions about stuff like how textile production took place in history, to the way that gender is represented in art, to trends over time in arts and crafts and what that can tell us about societies, and all sorts of other things then give them a follow.

Trying some new things with my digital art process. I'm not entirely happy with this piece but might as well share it anyways.

[ID: A study of several hands done in acrylic paint. The hands are painted in vibrant, unusual colors instead of skin tones. /end ID]

The title is a joke. I’ve never played Disco Elysium.

[ID: an acrylic painting of two figures on a dark wash background. The model is a fat white person with short curly hair. The figure on the top is kneeling on the floor, leaning back on her right hand while gazing upwards. The figure on the bottom right is sitting on a bench with their head in their left hand. /end ID]

Model credits go to fugitiverabbit on fatphotoref.
