Sharing is fun!
Send me a favorite visual artwork!
@starkatt More recently, well....this is my current phone desktop. :-)
@starkatt Angus McBride’s version of the Battle of Svolder. I fell in love with this one as a kid. Lots of compositional cues point you straight to King Olaf, and yet each person in this is very much their own character. A sword age, an axe age, a wolf age, would you know more?
@starkatt
"Cockpit" by Hadi Jalali. It's almost like a colored sketch, and yet the shading and coloring and subject matter are so perfectly executed that every time I look at it, a part of me is instantly transported to that ship.
I fucking love it and I can't get enough of it. ♥️

@starkatt A bit classical, but this one has been stuck in my head since art history in college. :-)

@emanate that took my breath away

@starkatt This picture I commissioned a long while ago, and I remember getting it and staring it for a long, long while before just -crying-
At the time i was very heavily repressed and trying to run from my gender issues, and this was the first pang I had of pure, core-hitting "this is what I want to look like. This is why I hate my body. I'm supposed to look like this"
@starkatt (actually, I realized that I don't think i ever told moodyferret (the artist) that so~ I think I will :D )
nsfw (picture)
Oh dang. MoodyFerret's art played a not-small part in my figuring out I was not-straight. VERY not-straight. I called it "Theoretically Bi" at the time, because uh. All my experiences at first ended up being with guys. :-)
@starkatt Haseltine's "Natural Arch at Capri". When I saw it in person in a museum, I was floored, and just stood there staring at it for something like fifteen minutes. Before leaving the museum, I came back to it and sat down and just stared.
@Soreth that's exactly where you should be living, right?
@starkatt Yes.
Living, and flying.
@Soreth @starkatt It's so beautiful... Reminds @Silverwing of Home :)
@starkatt "The Little Blue Horses," by Franz Marc http://www.franzmarc.org/The-Little-Blue-Horses.jsp
when I was in grade school, the local library had a thing where you could check out paintings (reproductions, I'm pretty sure) and hang them or whatever for a while and then return them, and meanwhile they'd display a selection of them in the library, and one of them was this picture. it *fascinated* me. I still like it very much.
@starkatt "yo bro is it safe down there in the woods? yeah man it's cool" (the official title of the piece) by Tomislav Jagnjic. The title is just so perfect. And it makes me smile every time i think about it.
@starkatt the piece above my bed. I saw it at the NorWesCon art show, barely a month after I came out, and just started crying. I wanted to be her, so badly, and I'm not doing such a bad job if I do say so.
@starkatt Ok so I'm indecisive as fuck but I love this hecking art. (Linking to the post I made of it cuz I don't want to type the description box again rn, I'm v tired >_>)
ESPECIALLY send me ones you can't get out of your head.
