Happy Tuesday! Here is a painting of my wife inspired by an Andrew Bird song.
#painting #illustration #portrait

Art piece of a digital drawing of a marabou stork. The drawing is simple, graphic shapes to emphasize the form of the animal rather than a detailed and realistic portrayal. The bird has a very long and thick gray bill, bald head, long black wings, white belly and scruffy neck which comes up to partially cover the beak and head. The bird's legs are long, gray, and knobby.

Not feeling particularly silly today, but here's a fun drawing of a marabou stork looking coy and very stylish for the #RepostYourArt theme of #silly

Confession: when I studied Of Mice And Men at school, I imagined each character as one from Winnie The Pooh. Pooh as Lennie, Christopher Robin as George, Eeyore as Crooks, Kanga as Curly's Wife. You're welcome.

Exciting New Rumpus Initiatives - The Rumpus Debbie Millman and I are thrilled to share some exciting new initiatives we are launching with The Rumpus. Beginning on April 1, 2026, we are increasing

In other news, I am really excited to share some new initiatives we're launching at The Rumpus including increased pay, writing and editorial fellowships, and microgrants. therumpus.net/2026/03/31/e...

The exhibition on the second floor shows devils created by folk masters, craftsmen, and authors of professional art, which were donated to the museum after the death of the initiator of the collection A. Žmuidzinavičius. The collection increased intensively in the 1970s and 1980s. The prevailing political system at that time was favourable for making this mythological character popular. It was not merely an artefact illustration of the past time folklore. The character of a devil became a convenient reflection of Soviet ideology to introduce the Catholic faith as a rudiment of the past to be destroyed. Anyone could make fun of the faith by portraying a devil, and it was a funny joke to impart to a negative character an "innocent" transformation into a cheerful, naive, trustworthy, charismatic, or even sympathetic personage. At that time, there was an increase in the production of folk art souvenirs with devil images (medals, wooden masks, sculptures, ceramic vases, mugs, candlesticks, whistles, cups), which were purchased as merry holiday gifts.

On the third floor, the gifts donated by foreign visitors are shown. These are devils and masks from the European, American, Asian, African countries. The exhibits help to reveal the concept of a devil in the ethnography of the nations of the world, demonological beings, celebrations. They are displayed according to foreign countries from which the objects have come to the museum. Most of the exhibited works are the gifts of visitors.

A fine fellow in my Insta comments told me about the Devil Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania, home to over 3000 demonic items. It's going on The List. Particularly fond of the accordion guy...

Is that where the phrase "Once in a Boo Moon" comes from?
