Shout-out to all non-creatives who don't get totally weirded out by their creative friends - when we won't talk to anyone & look like we are doing nothing but just daydreaming.

These are non-creative kindreds who understand that we, #creatives - aren't just spacing out for no good reasons. We aren't being lazy. We are working hard, in our brains. We are deep in inspirational thoughts & we need that time because it is part/parcel of how we can work to create new art. It's an essential part of our #CreativeProcess.

#WeAreNotSpaceCadets #artists

I created some #Mastodon inspired #DigitalArt using #OpenSource software - Krita.

Check them out:
https://krita.org/en/

Free for public usage, with credit ✌️

This took me about 4 hours to create.

If you're not Jewish, do you mind re-logging this to help a Jew out in reaching other Jews on Mastodon?
If you're a Jew - hi! I made lots of nature inspired Judaica jewelry for you. Some have not been uploaded yet but if you see something you like please don't hesitate to reach out!
And lots more are available here on my website: https://emmanuelleskaly.com/

At a time in which hate crimes against us are rising so extremely fast, it's never been more important to be proudly, unapologetically Jewish. Only wear those where you feel safe, but wear them proudly. We are here to stay. ❤️

UK proposes letting tech firms use copyrighted work to train AI

Is anyone surprised? 'Opt outs' - and we know how well behaved tech businesses have been about both written and visual workl in the past - hae been proposed. Bty the time the author/artist has caught up they will have snaffled the work and it will be impossibe to remoce it from the corpus.

I'm not sure how I feel about sharing my mental health and physical disability conditions and info or how much to do it in good taste.

On one hand I'm an extremely straight forward and obsessively honest person. I like sharing because it's genuinely just authentic for me and I also just have nothing to hide. In a way I'm doing it right now.
As well as, it's useful. Speaking up about disabilities can and does inspire others to feel more comfortable and confident about themselves, understanding they're not alone with their difficulties.

On the other hand, the victim card sickens me. I've had enough of being a victim. I've had enough of people feeling sorry for me and of identity based conversations saying that just because I have certain conditions it somehow gives me a greater right for attention or support when in reality so many people have massive difficulties that may not be as clearly diagnosable and still hugely impact their lives and the way they deal with failures and successes.

I am deeply grateful for the many people who have supported me because of my traumas, abuse, physical chronic illnesses and many trauma related mental disabilities. Empathy is powerful and when someone shares the least we can do is listen with open curiosity and kindness.

But if I keep emphasizing how much of a victim I am, I might just be a victim forever. If I keep inviting people to feel sorry for me, I might create a reality in which I'm forever weak. And is it my fault? No. But is it my responsibility to change it? Absofuckinglutely.

I'm already on this path but sometimes I stumble. Sometimes I still use the victim card with myself and others.

The line is thin but critical, between being aware and taking good care of my many disabilities, to letting them disable me completely, or even just, more than they must.

I may forever have times in which I'll suffer from OCD episodes, panic attacks, mental breakdowns and clinical depression. But I'll do my best to limit those symptoms as much as I possibly can and not allow them from avoiding me of a good life.

I will forever have NVLD, but instead of letting it define what I can or can not do, I'll find alternative ways to do and understand anything I need to achieve my goals.

I may forever suffer from IBD and anemia. But I'll do what I can to manage and if I find a way, heal. And as much as possible, as much as healthy, continue my life with those illnesses, and aspire for joy and health as much as anybody else.

I won't beg for government support of any kind, I'll never take a loan ever in my life, I won't depend mentally on loved ones. I know others may have to. I had times in which I had to as well. But as long as I can change my mindset and health to be more capable of full independence, I place my responsibility and focus on doing so.

I'm a fully independent business owner and I am happy. Inconsistently happy, struggling but happy, overly stressed but happy. In love and happy, studying and working what I love and happy. Living a very strange reality impacted by war but happy. And yes, I have illnesses. And yes, I have many disabilities. But as for my identity, I can recognize my illnesses and take care of them, but I am healthy, I am not ill. I can acknowledge and understand my disabilities, I have many differences and many things I can do better than others naturally and many that I am naturally a lot worse at than most people. But I am not disabled. In fact, I'm completely capable of reaching my goals, it just requires different ways which I'm creative enough to figure out.

It's very hard. It's mind shattering sometimes. It's my body crumbling other times. But it's the truth.

So here I give up my victim card in society and in front of myself and consider myself an equally capable human being.

Capable of artistic, financial and wellness growth.

Capable of everything I want, but most importantly - capable of good influence on others through art.

Yours,
Emmanuelle

One of the realities of creating a #website that matches a …particular standard… in an industry (#Artists) when you are coming from another (#WebDesign), is that there are so many opportunities to get #creative, even though you should stick with what works effectively for others in the desired #industry, sadly.

The last few days had been full of especially loud booms. It's been hard on my mental health to have the sudden shakes of windows and loud booms in the otherwise serenity of the Gaza envelope kibbutzim, mine is Kibbutz Gevim. I create to calm down and heal, I've been less capable of communication and promotion for my small business and fixated more on creation. Today I took my black doll with a few new sets to photograph at a stunning location with those pink desert flowers I love so much. Lots of non Judaica options are available too as well as unisex and men's options.

Please no political replies, I have severe PTSD.

South African Rural Sculpture

South Africa has a rich rural carving #tradition. During the 1980’s this mode of #artistic expression acquired new dimensions with the emergence of rural #artists who were self taught and unexposed to other influences. As a result of the isolating of black South Africans into rural community areas, the artists residing in these areas created work that was authentic and unconditioned.

« What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes if he is a painter, ears if he's a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he's a poet, or even, if he's a boxer, only some muscles? Quite the contrary, he is at the same time a political being constantly alert to the horrifying, the passionate or pleasing events of the world, shaping himself completely in their image... No, … »

Fantastic #zine fare at Jagera House today. Clever #Brisbane #writers and #artists! Some travelling from interstate to attend. Got what I could afford, plus took plenty of pics.

Here's a challenge for #paleo #artists
I want to see an extinct animal in a non dramatic scenario, preferably at night, just doing its thing. Is it yawning as it lays down? It it just wandering aimlessly? 99% of an animals life is boring mundane stuff, but we almost never see that in #paleoart.
I would love to see what you come up with.
