It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Song of the Bull Rider is the first book I read in over a year, and I am so, so glad I managed to get my hands on a copy. The prose is so tight, and neither shies away nor revels in the brutality of the world order Kanan is born into. (The art is, of course, also gorgeous) Highly recommend!

Thought it'd be handy to have an appendectomy with Zantetsuken.

It's been super fun to both participate in and see everyone's work come together on this zine - looking forward to the final release!

Also, happy pride. xtramagazine.com/love-sex/why... Here's an article I've shared a couple times over the years. I hope queer online spaces one day becomes a kinder place. The weird witch-hunting behavior I see sometimes disappoints me so much. Especially over fiction and art.

there's no real way to say this without sounding pretentious but if i go long enough without making something with my hands my soul withers

been itching to make something with my hands and finally landed on paper flowers

Just one more thing…

Sampling twelve whiskeys in a day is perhaps a little more than I can handle but I did find some new potential favourites so... all's well that ends well?

i advise often it's a lot easier to address and course correct in your process when you assume the problem is never you, it's the canvas. like, never assume something is coming out undesirably because you can't draw or don't know X or whatever. Always assume 'what's missing, what am I not seeing'

i was wondering why my fingertips were hurting so much from dandelion weeding and then i looked at my garderning gloves and saw i'd worn straight through the rubber

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tia-pop? [ xiv | wol/exarch | exarch has a foot in mouth situation ]

takes my ten little pills to diy a normal immune response and clenches my fist in my pocket at whoever decided to spread their germs all over everyone

sometimes i get reminded that we have nitrile milking gloves at the office and have to sit with that information for a while

head still empty, but work stressful so here we are: shadowy tentacle cavity exploration

this is the apple of ive got deadlines but no energy for them or anything personal either so we draw ball

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great
