This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
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).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content 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 or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
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.
Put a matching sock over each unburnt end. That's art. Sock art. I am a little bit of an artist myself, you know. If a piece doesn't have a sock it isn't sock art. But it could be. Just put a sock on it. Bam! Sock art. I rest my case and leave the art business forever - undefeated sock artist '25. Peace out βοΈ
Edit: Your art's fire btw
I like how the title "Do you play with matches" also contains a wordplay. The first obvious thing that comes to mind is, of course, Tinder and matches. But also "burnout" in reference to the burnt matches. Was that your intention with this piece? It doesn't have to be, of course π. That's what art is for, and luckily, art is free. But as you can see, you've already made me think. So your work has already had an effect. A great piece.
I like that my art made you think. Thank you.
Looks cool. Sort of a mixed media. Are the match stick part wooden? They look like some sort of paper. How much of the black is from actually burning?
The matchsticks are cardboard. All are actually burned as is the mounting board to get the proper shape. The matchsticks themselves have added blackening.
