_______________________________
It's Art Friday! Show us what you got!
YMMV. Since our audience is global, "Friday" refers to more than the 24 hours designated "Friday" in any one time zone.
We're inaugurating this Art Friday with a celebration of last Art Friday!

For your listening pleasure
Little Shrew (Snowflake) by Kate Bush – Written in response to the war in Ukraine. โI started working on it a couple of years ago, it was not long after the Ukrainian war broke out. I wanted to draw attention to how horrific it is for children,โ the singer and composer told BBC, submitted by u/Exotic-Strawberry667.
Last Day Trumpets (ะกััะผะธ ะััะฐะฝะฝัะพะณะพ ะะฝั), performed and submitted by u/vdeineko.

New works available!
We're very happy to see u/Bohemialife1 back in action. She makes the most beautiful pressed flower frames, and she has some new ones on offer.
u/kilderov is offering some new paintings, and some very cute limited edition seals made, in collaboration with a Ukrainian officer, from a downed S-70 Hunter. You probably don't want to miss out on that.

ACasualCollector is soliciting ideas!
u/ACasualCollector, who makes mind-meltingly good miniatures of soldiers and scenes from the war, is looking for ideas for his next project. Weigh in here!

Art You Can Own!
Pressed flower frame by u/Bohemialife1
u/Bohemialife1 weaves camo nets for the soldiers by day and makes surpassingly beautiful pressed flower frames by night. She sells the frames in her Etsy shop, and uses the proceeds to support volunteers and soldiers. She has some new frames!
Artist and actual legend u/kilderov, whom you can read about here, was forced to leave occupied Nova Kakhovka for his own safety. Yes, Nova Kakhovka, home to the dam that russia destroyed with catastrophic results on June 6, 2023. He now sells his work to support the civilians in his city and the warriors from it. Check out his latest post. DM him if anything catches your eye!
Some of u/21_Vetal_01's handiwork
u/21_vetal_01, whom you can read about here, turns scraps of destroyed russian equipment into trophies and souvenirs, and his wife makes beautiful little treasures and beautiful little treasure boxes. Proceeds support every facet of the war effort, from military aid to humanitarian aid to cash assistance for families of the fallen. Here are some examples of what they make, here is some of their latest work, and here's a very, very small example of the astonishing variety of things they do with the funds they raise. Check them out on Instagram at Two Souls Creations.
u/brammo1991 skillfully and with style creates Ukraine-inspired Space Marine dioramas, then auctions them off and donates the proceeds to U24 and Come Back Alive. He's raised over โฌ1400 so far! He takes commissions; here are some recent ones. DM him if you want one of your own!
u/Flowrisma makes bright, cheerful fabric floral wreaths. Check out her Etsy shop!
