Her feet and toes are pointing towards the bottom right corner. This might be my record number of different colors used in a 2 minutes pose. It's not a goal in itself to use as many colors as possible, but it is an exercise in quick, instinctive drawing. #art #croquis #drawing #figurativeart #lifedrawing #nudedrawing #figuredrawing #colorbrushpen #sketch #sketchfromlife

Acrylic paint on cardboard. (60 x 80 cm) A young man is sitting on a chair, turned towards the right, his chair and legs pointing in the direction of the bottom right, his head turned towards the top right corner. The direction of the room is suggested by a table in the bottom left, some lines on the wall behind the model and his chair, and the plane of the floor where it meets the wall and a corner in the top right. The model is wearing trousers and jogging shoes, his shirt and jacket hanging on the chair behind his back. His phone is on the table, and this is where I'll integrate the electrophoretic screen next. I'll make some corrections for the use of white color, as I only had pink, ochre, green earth and white available during the session. The pure white isn't working for the body and the lower leg. I'll probably keep the white for the shoes and the lines on the wall, though. Painting by Dag Arild Dramstad, work in progress. #art #painting #sketch #acrylicpainting #figurativeart

Acrylic paint on cardboard. "Reclining nude on phone" (80 x 60cm) By Dag Arild Dramstad. Work in progress as of February 6, 2025. The painting depicts a nude female reclining on a coach, facing away from the spectator. She is looking at the screen of a phone she is holding in her right hand. As for the color composition she is resting on a green pillow, while the other colors are red, white and blue. These colors form rectangular shapes of textiles in an approximate 45 degree angle in a downward direction when perceiving the painting from a left-top starting point. The draperies of the textiles together with the 45 degree rectangles creates a waterfall-like sensation. In the bottom right corner the floor is visible, painted in the same light ochre colors as the figure. In the right top corner a crystal vase on a table is partly visible. The painting is now ready to enter the next phase, and I'm about to cut away the part of the painting currently depicting the screen of the phone. This will be replaced with an electrophoretic display like in the previous artworks at https://tangledupin.art #art #acrylicpaint #recliningnude #tangleupinart #figurativeart #figurativepainting
Acrylic painting (60 x 80 cm) depicting a ballet dancer posing. The painting was sketched in 2 sessions of 20 minutes using two brown colors, a dark gray, white, pink and blue.

The top text reads "The radical left caught cherry-picking images to further their totally dishonest agenda." Then follows four mock stills from a video with timestamps, the first two frames depicting Mother Teresa, the third shows Mr. Musk giving his heart fascist-style, and the last frame again depicts Mother Teresa. The bottom text reads "Completely out of context. So sad." #democracy #resist #fascism

A screenshot of the message telling me someone had added me to a moderation list called "Nazi Trolls". Maybe they just tried to find a shorter name for "People trolling Nazis and non-binary people blended with some spam and coordinated fake liberals to make them disappear"? ...or maybe they just love their day job. #blocklists #scammers #spam #trans #targetingtrans #transphobic #targetingdems
A screenshot of a list by account @august.musicsky.social named Zionist Allies. The list is labeled "People to follow with balanced, anti-Hamad views". The list contains neverending account names. A lot of 19 yo OnlyFans and spam accounts, apparently with balanced, anti-Hamad views. And for some reason many trans-friendly accounts and Trump-unfriendly accounts. Who could be behind something like this?

Screenshot of a scam account trying to impersonate Gil Duran. The fake name gildurann54 is encircled in red. The conversation starts after the usual introduction, when I'm replying to a question regarding how useful I find the account content. I replied "Hi! Yes! find your posts explaining Oligarchy amusing. And the crypto and imposter ones as well!" The imposter writes: "Oh I see" "What imposters are you talking about?" I reply: "You wrote about one last weekend😄😄" The scammer writes: -"Yeah that's why I asked again ?" I have written "Talking about you, actually", but I have not pressed the send button yet. I'm going to use the screenshot in a post on my account first, and share it on the scammers account. Then some of the followers of the scammer might see it, or my post will show up as deleted or blocked. Maybe that could raise some concerns from unaware followers. In the end I might just be wasting the scammers time. Definitely my own time. But obviously enough people are being scammed to keep this business in business(!), so a better scam protection should be developed and implemented.

Screenshot from en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels. "At night I sit in my chamber and read the Bible. Far in the distance roars the sea. Then I lie down and think for a long time about the calm and pale man from Nazareth. Abends sitze ich auf meinem Zimmer und lese die Bibel. In der Ferne braust das Meer. Dann liege ich noch lange wach und denke an den stillen, bleichen Mann von Nazareth." A photo of Goebbels posing in his uniform. The text under the photo reads "I am only the instrument that God uses to sing his song. I am only the vessel that nature smilingly fills with new wine."
