This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 21 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Osa Atoe! Osa makes absolutely stunning midcentury nigerian pottery. I'm a bit outside of my expertise as I know absolutely nothing about pottery or art in any way, but I think her work is gorgeous and I'm honored to have her on the show. She's also been in a punk band, she was a columnist for "Maximum Rock'n'Roll" magazine and she has a degree sociology.

"Osa's ... work represents her belief that applying combinations of indigenous wisdom and global technologies can create futuristic solutions, restoring balance and healing our social and environmental ills. Atoe's pottery manifests as symbols of idealism, and provides a visual and tactile respite from violence, division, cynicism and injustice."

Good day all. Wife and I just do coloring books, but we currently have crayola colored pencils and they're literally falling apart. Anyone have any recommendations for some good and basic colored pencils? We're not artists so not looking for anything insane, but something that doesn't fall apart would be nice. Also not looking g to buy from amazon so if the company sells on their website or in store it would be ideal.

Thank you so much for any recommendations!
