Christmas art
Another illustration from Valentin Ramon and his Christmas movie coloring book. This really could be from any of the movies he presented in his book. Sorry for the blurry picture for I took it on a cloudy day. I used crayons with this picture using colors red, purple, yellow. green and gold for the bells and more yellow for the garland and stars are gold. I used brown for what I think is either a wall or a door where the wreath maybe hanging.

When the Swings Still Remember. AI-Generated.
The playground came alive only at sunset. During the day, it stood silent—rusted chains unmoving, the wooden ladder leaning tiredly, the bicycle forgotten near the tree. But when the sun dipped low and painted the sky in gold and amber, shadows gathered, and the past returned.

The Water That Remembered Their Names
The courtyard had known their footsteps for more years than anyone could count. Its stones were worn smooth by time, by bare feet and heavy hearts, by laughter and grief carried silently across generations. Every morning, when the sun climbed slowly over the mud-brick walls, Mariam knelt beside the copper basin filled with water, just as she had done for decades. The water always looked ordinary—clear, trembling slightly in the morning light—but Mariam knew better.

The Woman Who Became a Mirror
In the history of performance art, few moments have struck the human conscience as sharply as what unfolded in a modest gallery in Naples in 1974. It was an experiment that involved no words, no movement, and no stage—only a woman, a table of seventy-two objects, and the unpredictable landscape of the human soul. To this day, Marina Abramović’s Rhythm 0 remains one of the most disturbing, enlightening, and unforgettable explorations of human behavior ever witnessed.

The Elephant and the Donkey's Big Mix-Up
In a lush forest, Eddie the Elephant and Danny the Donkey decided to go for a stroll. Eddie strutted with his trunk held high, while Danny brayed cheerfully. Suddenly, they spotted a sign that read: "Best Voice in the Forest Contest!"

The Great Acorn Quest. AI-Generated.
In a lush forest, Scurry the Squirrel and Tumble the Turtle were unlikely friends. Scurry, with his boundless energy, darted up trees, while Tumble plodded steadily below. One crisp morning, Scurry discovered a map etched on a leaf, leading to the legendary Golden Acorn, said to grant one wish.

psychedelic pattern art: a surrealist portfolio by ⸘jason alan‽. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
welcome to the vivid unconscious, a collection exploring the intensity of the world through non-naturalistic color and abstract patterns. this portfolio is split into two distinct yet stylistically connected series: psychedelic wildlife and surreal portraiture. whether depicting the familiar silhouette of a zebra exploding with vibrant geometry, or diving in the symbolic weight of psychological burdens with the piece titled "death," my work uses vivid contrast and expressionism to illuminate the energy and unseen tensions within life. i invite you to explore this world where the familiar is constantly shifting, intensely colored, and profoundly honest.

The Tree That Refused to Fall
A massive tree struck by lightning remained standing despite being hollow inside. Scientists studied it, baffled. A local carpenter realized children had hidden their wishes inside its trunk for years. The tree stayed upright not by strength, but by purpose. When a storm finally toppled it centuries later, thousands of tiny papers fluttered into the air—dreams released at last.

The Painter of Hidden Sunrises
A reclusive painter woke before dawn to paint sunrises no one else witnessed. She hid the canvases under her bed, saying daylight did not need repeating. One morning, she found a stranger staring at one of her paintings. He had discovered it by accident and was weeping. “I didn’t know mornings could feel like forgiveness,” he said. From then on, she painted openly, sharing her work with anyone brave enough to knock on her door. Her sunrises became known not for their colors, but for the moments they helped people remember they deserved to start again.

🌟 Master the Art of Patience and Watch Your Dreams Bloom 🌟
In an age where everything moves at lightning speed, patience often feels like a forgotten art. We live in a world of instant downloads, instant messages, instant meals, and instant validation. Because so much happens so quickly, we start believing that our dreams should also arrive instantly. But life doesn’t operate on that timeline. Nature doesn’t grow overnight, and neither do we. 🌿💫
