"Franz Marc thought that the world we see is an illusion created by our perceptions. We now know that indeed, our brains render a version of the world based on the information brought to it by our senses. What we see is our individual interpretation of what’s out there. So, he was right on that point."

Heute kam ein erstes Mal eine Krähe aufs Balkongeländer...nachdem ich jetzt seit etwas mehr als einem Monat ein Vogelhaus und ein "Blumenfressbeet" aufgestellt habe. Ich beobachte sie, sie beobachten mich. Wenn ich aus dem Haus gehe und sie krähen, dann begrüsse ich sie. Sie erkennen mich an der Mütze und der Kappe. Auch bei meiner Grossmutter klopfen sie ans Fenster, um was zu fressen zu bekommen. Gestern haben zwei Tauben auf dem Geländer gebalzt =) Cool stuff!

Francisco José de #Goya y Lucientes was also born #OTD (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828). Here is his portrait of Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga (1784-1792), 1787-88, on display at the Met.
“Goya may have intended this cast of #animals as a reminder of the frail boundaries that separate the child's world from the forces of evil, or as a commentary on the fleeting nature of innocence and youth.”

...as a primate, i am very well adapted to shaping forest ecosystems to suit my needs and provide the fruit, nuts, etc., that i need to live. that's why so many people live in forests. many kinds of primates do well in forests.

#PrimateStuff #animals

2 days ago

....but as a primate, there are things i can do that large herbivores (like goats or bison) can't do, at least when it comes to shaping ecosystems.

for example, i can use my hands to move biomass from one place to another. i can pile up all the dead leaves into a big pile & help speed up the process of soil creation (which is one of the things a forest ecosystem does). also, i avoid hurting the small trees that i want to grow! (a goat will eat them!)

...it would be even better if i were a goat, or if i had goats with me as i walked.

So I know why #insects are technically classified as #animals, but I feel like I should have an objection with classifying something that doesn't have a brain with creatures that actively think and feel as #vertebrates and a good chunk of the #invertebrates do...

It just feels like it muddles the #ethics: I wouldn't think twice about mass poisoning a colony of ants or roaches, but I would have serious reservations with even a single rat.

On days 53 & 54 of drawing #animals I started a deep dive on #flamingos trying to assemble a bunch of "flamingo drawing cheat sheets" for myself. The idea was to collect all the information I would need to enable me to draw flamingos without reference in the future. So these contain a bit more details than my usual sketches, crammed unto A3 sheets rather than my usual A4s.

#MastoArt #Ink #Birds

days 44-46 of drawing #animals back to black #ink

(I got my scans & drawings mixed up while my scanner was broken down so the number on the file differs from the number on the paper. I am sticking to the number on the file because that is easier, and from ca. day 55 on or so stuff is aligned again 😅 )

#MastoArt

3 sketches of squirrels in black ink
a drawing in black ink of the bust of a stag with beautiful antlers

Here are all of the animals that I’ve painted in the past 3 months. I just finished the Cheetah today and the bear yesterday. #animals #animalart #AnimalArtist #blackmastodon #mastoartwork #mastoartists #cheetahs #bears
