"This Vista de Valencia, composed of 5031 individual pieces of type, has a distinctly digital quality to it.

It's made almost 100 years before the advent of ASCII art, but the image's construction, the trees in particular, bear an uncanny resemblance to the semigraphic style of Commodore PETSCII art."

By means of #introduction, I write #fantasy fiction and some #sciencefiction. I have a particular interest in sword & sorcery. I also (as of late) draw and produce #art that ties into my writing.

My work, so far, has been in short stories with some flash fiction. I occasionally write #poetry.

>> Short stories in Swords & Sorcery Monthly, Crimson Quill Quarterly, and The Lorelei Signal.

>> Poetry in Everscribe Magazine and Lothlorien Poetry Journal.

"Unbound: Illness is not the end of dance"

A short film
(about 6 1/2 minutes)

"Twenty bodies. One thread of movement. Unbound is a short dance film created by individuals living with ME/CFS and/or Long COVID, exploring the tension between constraint and expression, stillness and vitality."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxK6UKtWuLc

For blind or visually impaired viewers there's an audio track with descriptions of the movements.

Right. Introduction post.

It’s a little complicated (and probably too long and too much).

I’ve been lieven for a few years now but it’s not my actual name. My real name is that rare I can find only about 5 people with the same name in the world (but none with the same spelling). Seemingly I’m the only one in Europe, at least in modern times.

That’s what happens when you choose your name with care and take a few years to find it. My previous name was also rare though shared with a famous cartoon (not intentional). There’s a story why that name became history too. Maybe one day I’ll share.
The name originally given to me came alongside a traumatising religious event by the two people who ended up abusing me until I was removed from the home at 13 and those two eventually had a judge revoke their parental rights.

I take a lot of pride in the person I’ve become – me. It was not easy to get here. At the same time, there’s still a lot of lingering trauma and I’ve yet to find my tribe.
As an outspoken queer neurodivergent mixed-race writer who consistently writes about society’s errors and highlights the lives of the vulnerable among us I’ve made a lot of enemies and have seen a lot of violence.

I’m an activist who doesn’t hold up a protest sign but a mirror.

Proud as I am of my identity, I am also deliberately anonymous online. Not by choice, but for my safety. I hope you understand.

That said, I am very much human. Too human, at times.

I care and am fiercely political. Given my identity I have no choice. I wish more people cared.

Beyond all that, I mentor queer youth. I am a storyteller and help others tell their stories. I am an artist who works primarily online, with text; sound and sometimes animation.

I build pretty little confrontational worlds.

I have a diverse professional background and am occasionally hired to do other things as well. Sometimes you just need the money.

I’m a millennial but I’ve come to the conclusion linear time no longer serves me.
If I am not online I am probably working out, reading or sleeping.

I’m barophobic but that’s only sensible.

Want to seduce me? Contemporary art, politics, music, sustainability, interior design, fashion and empathy turn me on. As long as you make an effort and don’t just go for the easy and the obvious.

The fediverse seems a nicer, better, place to be. I’m glad I’m finally here.

Detail of a line drawing in black and white by lieven. It's chaotic with lines forming small shapes transforming into larger shapes, including a spiral and a bust of a human figure. The shapes are not immediately clear. The words "I don't know what to say anymore" are also in the drawing. No AI.

Mornin'. Have some Adam Fuss to start your day. #Art

A photogram of a dress with several snakes laid on top of it. The dress has a high neck, 3/4 length sleeves, a fitted waist and ruffles at the cuff of the sleeves as well as the hem of the skirt. Because the image is effectively a photo negative, the shadows created by the snakes and the details/folds of the dress are bright white.

The berries come in different colors and sizes, some a big, ripe and blue, and other are small and green. The overall feeling of the piece brings comfort, cottage aesthetic and combined with the elegant linework, it is a great botanical lovers art.

#art #history: if most of the people born into privilege were like nancy cunard (born #otd in 1896), maybe we wouldn't have such an itchy collective guillotine finger. this fashionable fash-basher & anti-racism campaigner (& heir to the cunard shipping line) was a writer who became a muse to man ray, james joyce & langston hughes.
when she wasn't busy being effortlessly avant-garde, nancy worked as a translator for the french resistance.
#nancyCunard #antiFascist #antiRacist #poetry

digital ink & pencil sketch of writer & political activist, nancy cunard.
nancy looks straight at her audience, pale blue eyes coruscating & her head wrapped in a 1920s flapper turban.
behind her is a black shadow that resembles wings & from the tips of the shadow, her name is scrawled in uppercase black letters.

Many thanks to the art lover from Alaska for purchasing a pack of 10 greeting cards of the haikuart design created by @MarjoleinRotsteeg and me -
The scent of spring - https://karenkasparartprints.com/featured/the-scent-of-spring-karen-kaspar.html

All proceeds from this sale that Marjolein and I get go to a hospital for wildlife to take care of sick, weak or wounded hedgehogs (https://avolare.nl/).

Thank you for your support!

bright day - the hedgehog
wakened from hibernation
by the smell of spring

Hedgehog in spring is a watercolour painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small hedgehog with brown spines sits in bright green grass against a calm blue sky. He curiously stretches his nose into the air and sniffs the fresh spring air. He seems to be smiling. The loose brushstrokes of the watercolour lend the scene a gentle and peaceful aura.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

I'm happy that my watercolor painting 'Ladybird on four-leaf clover' won first place in the Fine Art America contest 'Saint Patrick's Day' run by the Creative Women Group.
Thank you to everyone who voted!

#stpatricksday #MastoArt #art #painting #FediArt #FediGiftShop #artist #kunst #contemporaryArt #watercolor #watercolour #creativeToots #spring #BuyIntoArt #flowers #garden #nature #green #lucky #clover #shamrock #luck #ladybug #artwork #positiveVibes #happy

Ladybird on four-leaf clover is a detail from the watercolor painting A lucky day painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The original painting was painted in landscape format. Here, a section in square format was chosen. Another cut-out in portrait format is also available in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
The watercolor painting is built up of many layers of different bright fresh green tones and shows the abstracted detail of a wildflower meadow with many four-leaf clovers. On one of the clovers sits a red ladybird with black dots. Due to the strong complementary contrast between red and green, this little lucky ladybird is the focus of the picture and attracts attention. The four-leaf clovers and the ladybird are symbols of luck. I wish you that this picture brings a lot of luck and joy into your home.

'i stood on a hill in jerusalem today, looking over the border, the arab-israeli border. there is really something frightening about it. there is something insane about it, something which breaks the heart.'
i love james baldwin - today & every day. he is so necessary.
#botd #art #history #literature #palestine #jamesBaldwin
(meanderings about james, below.)

digital ink & paint drawing of literary genius & giant of a human being, james baldwin.
he sits with his cheek against his left hand (lung dart nestled betwixt his fingers), looking forlornly into the left distance. his right arm rests on his knees.
behind his head is a triangle & his name is in uppercase down the side.
above his head is something he wrote in an essay in 'harper's magazine' about his 1961 visit to israel. it says, 'i stood on a hill in jerusalem today, looking over the border, the arab-israeli border. there is really something frightening about it. there is something insane about it, something which breaks the heart.'

organizan lo que parecen unas jornadas contra la IA, pero usan IA para crear el cartel

Puede ser el ejemplo más burdo de falta de coherencia? Sera ragebait?

O quizá es que están a favor de la IA y ponen lo de tecnofascismo y tecnocapitalismo como cosas positivas?

no alcanzo a comprender
