A yo-yoer, artist, and video maker in San Francisco. I'm using this account to post photos of street art and graffiti I see around San Francisco. Main account: https://mastodon.social/@docpop
Here to share my art and crafts. As for subjects— I really like plants, animals, fungi, clouds, humor, coziness and levity. But I live in the core of a colonial empire bent on destroying this planet for profit, so a lot of my art is related to that. I pretty much only boost arts, crafts, & direct aid fundraisers. Some keywords 4 types of art I enjoy: political, practical, amateur, upcycled, queer, cute, handmade, vividly colored, nerdy, vegan, botanical. Alt-text always, "AI" art never.
@snailrageprints@metroholografix.ca it was a neat project and I learned some things: - I don't particularly like the destruction inherent in the reduction process. I know, I know, all creation is destruction, but I'd rather come out with blocks I could print again and again. -Getting precise registration (aligning the paper with the printing block) with otherwise delightfully wispy deckled paper edges is an incredible challenge
- these color inks are not quite as opaque as I was led to believe, I had to do some additional mixing to get the pure green (shown here) to look green at all upon the red in the combined print. (It first came out looking black) #printMaking #reductionLinocut #reliefPrint #humanArt
