fox with the northern lights in Finland. 2026.

“In Finnish folklore, the northern lights are created when a mythical fox races across the Arctic tundra, its tail sweeping snow into the sky and setting it ablaze. Those glowing sparks, the story goes, become auroras — a legend reflected in the Finnish word revontulet, which literally translates to ‘fox fires.’”

A place, Stone imagery It is in a barn that we can hear the whispers of thousands of stones collected by the poet and artist Luigi Lineri at the source of the Adige river in north-eastern Italy. He attributes their shape to a human or magical intervention; they are primitive signs, an image-language. The building is no longer large enough to accommodate them all, some wait patiently in the garden, sneak into the house. Having spent 50 years collecting, he now devotes his time exclusively to arranging them. Interview: @giovanna_caliari Photos: @anablagojevicvr

KILL AI AND REBLOG AND CREATE ART IN 2026

🌿 Tigris Phantasmaflora II 🐯

A Posca take on an old piece I did back in 2016 that I originally did in ballpoint. Instead of trying to make a perfect copy I let it go with the flow this time.

hi guys! discord is doing a survey on how people would like ai to be integrated into discord. take it and say fuck no to every question. when you get to "in general, how do you feel about discord inegrating ai features?", respond that you would actively get everyone you know off of discord and wouldn't pay for nitro or other shop items if they added ai features.

watch out for the trap! there's ONE QUESTION where the last option *isn't* the max 'no AI' option, read each part carefully to be sure

Last little zither done !
