I posted already in c/art https://lemmy.zip/post/59580730 but I'd love to have an open solution which is why I post it here as well

I'd like to view more art. Where do I find it?

And after finding a nice picture, how can I save it and store it for later? How can I share "my collection"?

Not only digital art but art from 100 years ago but digital. Is there some wikipedia/openstreetmap/listenbrainz/tmdb for art?

Currently, I save the images and post them to my pixelfed profile (privately) with the source link and a title. It works but it is stupid.

I already asked about theater and neodb was an option but I don't think that that you could apply it to art https://lemmy.zip/post/58053680

A mix of artstation, instagram and devianart profiles for modern artists, a few with their own personal sites, and online galleries and art wiki for older artists... I have thousands of random art I liked saved on my HDD, and I used to share them randomly on this blog (which was a backup of a Facebook page but included content that got zucked) https://apocalyptichead.blogspot.com/search/label/%23 Just Art
(and here there's a list of the artists I had posted so far https://apocalyptichead.blogspot.com/p/art.html - but I had thousands more pictures to post before dropping Facebook and that Google blog)

I think your links are getting censored unless "removed" is part of them.

:O
Here they are normal so I guess it's your instance, perhaps it censors blogspot links? try to see this post through my instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/64220369

Yeah it works in browser.

I know .world replaces things like "bitch" with "removed".

Pretty sure Ada and the gang don't do this childish word censoring.

Seems Voyager forces you to view in your own instance. I guess blahaj does block Blogspot then. Curious.

Edits: Double checking.

I tried the link in another browser that is not logged on lemmy and the links were there... the blog name is "apocalyptic head" and the tag "just art", so I presume they are censoring blogspot

In terms of saving art you find, take a look at sef-hosting Pinry. I've run it for 4+ years. There are plugins for Firefox and other browsers.

Looks nice but is just another workaround
