Hi, people.

Something a little different - I looked for teen, art, etc. and found Love Front Porch.

Hello, friends. Sorry about being more absent than present lately. Today’s art is brought to you by me. I was a real butterfly child. I grew up with the privilege of living in Monarch butterfly territory. I remember standing on my bed and looking out the window as a small child, watching the butterflies flit outside…

Shepard Fairey teamed up with Saks Fifth Avenue in 2009 to make this effective, thought-provoking (to those of us into meta-social commentary) ad campaign. I find it simultaneously effective, discomfiting, and snark-filled. I don't know how it'll work as a prompt, but maybe it'll bring something up for you.

Happy spring holiday weekend, if that's your thing!

How much do I love Shag's modernism send-ups? A lot! This one, Sea Shanties (2011), caught my eye first and foremost. Click the link, though, click the link!

I was a bad neighbor today.

Art prompt spiel: See the pictures below? Feel free to share an original prose or poem in response. Feel free to share a quote that it makes you think of, a picture in reply, a thought or an observation. Feel free to share what you're going to have for lunch tomorrow. Whatever. :) Previous art prompts can be found here

Happy Friday!

*****Basically, ALL the warnings/TWs.*****

It's a steal!

Hey! Happy Tuesday evening. How's it going? Tell me things.

Happy belated birthday! Have a mural, from me, with a few different views.

was it 3rd or 4th grade?

Good morning, BT! I hope your Sunday is fine and lazy... or productive and energized, if that's your thing. Although the post title comes from Woody Guthrie, the picture is entitled Dear Sweetheart (2010). It's by Ibeabuchi Ananaba. As always feel free to respond with a lyric, a quote, an observation, a poem, or some…

My mother & I happened upon a retrospective of Roy DeCarava's work at LACMA once upon a time. It was portraiture, just the way I love it - capturing small moments, exchanges, authentic expressions. The grit and the good stuff of life. We were both so moved, and he immediately became an artist I had to learn more…

When I found my copy of for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf nestled among many untold treasures in my college town used bookstore (okay, it was one of two - both beloved, but I hope it was the 2-story one that's packed to the gills with such treasures.)...

How are you other grad students doing right now?
