Records about stolen artworks taken during World War II are to be placed on an international database so items can be traced.
It is hoped publishing the documents online will help families and historians find missing items seized by the Nazis — via redwolf.newsvine.com
I get near them and they just scream and run away… I don’t understand, I don’t jump out of the bushes and hug them anymore… Just slowly crawl out of the bushes and carefully reach out to them so I don’t startle them… — via deviantART

Another odd-size paper experiment. I doodled this derpy guy at work one day, and couldn’t get him out of my brain until I painted him up properly. This doesn’t happen all that often – inspiration strikes all the time, but rarely is it so insistent. Once I finished the painting, I decided he needed borders, and played with acrylic gel medium and Claybord and La Carte and foam core. Interesting lesson: La Carte can be completely denuded with gel medium. I knew it didn’t like moisture, but I didn’t realize I’d end up covered in a cement-like mix of glue and sand. It was fun.
Bonus points if you can decipher my uneducated attempt at Russian half-hidden in the borders — via CrashOctopus Blog

A very fun tattoo commission for Amy. Her little guy apparently calls them applepus
instead of octopus, which is adorable and also the reason for the toy.
I used a more impasto application of gouache than usual, and it was both challenging and educational. The stuff is really easy to blend wet in wet, but once it dries, lifting becomes a problem. It’s a delicate balancing act between having enough paint mixed up and keeping that paint wet while you work with other colors — via CrashOctopus Blog
