In 2023 the animal portraits had the opportunity to be part of the Ubuntu Summit Closing Party in Riga, Latvia.

The location https://digitalarthouse.eu/en is wonderful. Exhibiting art (Van Gogh, Monet, Leonardo da Vinci, Degas, Kandinsky, Klimt and many others) with grandiose scale projections.

Thank you for this special moment 💚. Yours sincerely, Yakkety Yak and friends.

Conférence de presse officielle, au pupitre est inscrit « réforme des retraites ». Un ministre à l’allure de responsable RH énonce : « Chers concitoyens, vous travaillerez désormais jusqu’à 102 ans… » Réactions indignées dans la salle : « Quoi ?? 102 ans ?! » Un conseiller souffle un mot à l’oreille du ministre-RH. Celui-ci enchaîne dans un sourire narquois : « Ah oui et pour chaque année non-cotisée on vous tranchera un orteil !! » Hurlements outrés du public : « Mais ça va pas ?!! On se laissera pas faire ! » Plus tard, plan large dans le bureau du ministre, le ministre et son conseiller écoutent les infos : « Camouflet pour l’exécutif : la clause orteil est finalement retoquée et la réforme passe sans… » Ils exultent : « Haha, à chaque fois… » [fin]
-- Un rescapé de la saison 1 que j’avais oublié de publier ici, pardon. Que dire sur le fond sinon, si ce n’est qu’on s’est bien fait niquer, comme d’habitude.

#ScribesAndMakers 15, How's your creativity going? Do you need help? Would you like to share a paragraph or image for critique?

To be honest, critique is about the last thing I require, atm. Feeling like an open wound on a windy day at the beach. Can I ask for some over the top encouragement instead?

Why doesn't art come with cheerleaders?

dancing_banana Go artists! Write that world! Paint that intangible feeling! Dance that epiphany! Whoohoo! dancing_banana

The monkey is thinking (depicted in a speech bubble in a shape of a heart) of a woman, she is depicted in an illustration form in contrast with the painterly style of the overall piece.

A painting in the pop surrealism style, depicts a stylized female character along a cat, walking on a forest, the painting is full of fantastical elements in a very colorful way, she is holding a drinking device hanging from her back with a pipe connected to a straw, where she seems to be drinking from, the device is part a big glass container that holds a potion along a skull. Mist is coming from her body. The cat is behind her trying to rich her arm, he is wearing a hat.
