Off and on I have been drawing on index cards for a few years. I already posted some of the ones I like from last year
Here is 2017-2023. It’s not… nothing. I’m kind of proud of it and I wasn’t thinking that way earlier this year or last year, definitely not.
This summer I challenged myself to only draw on lined paper in notebooks. I like maybe one of them. I hope if I put them away I’ll like some more next year.
I still want to paint some. I have to learn to paint first though.
A lot of them are too weird, too angry, too much intimate/sex to be posting around. I think the only thing to do is let my mom be more lovingly-mildly-horrified with me than she already is, if I die before her and she finds this bundle.
Does anyone sell art or music or creative content, and like talking about it? It’s not something I think I could ever do but I find it really interesting.
I’m posting here too much and it makes me nervous. I’m lonely and I’m in a depression spiral and I’ll be okay.
I sell my art sometimes. Here you need to have a trade name to sell art and take care of paying the taxes and stuff like that. I sell art so randomly that I have not yet got myself a trade name. But If I were to sell more, that would be important.
Thank you very much. I’ve been drawing on and off forever. I tell myself to draw a cabinet or a chair for actual practice, and I end up with robot flowers or cats playing chess. Every time.
I saw some of your paintings on the art thread, I love that you paint women’s faces. and say that it’s about misogyny and violence against women. The one with the lace veil is really excellent I think, and eyes and mouths covered in some, they’re striking.
Love these. You have a wonderful mind. Makes me want to get back into drawing. I stopped many years ago. Im sure that sooner or later you will breach through the depressive spiral your currently going through. All the best.
We’re celebrating Day of the Dead, yesterday and today. My son is 1/4 Mexican and amazing in every way shape and form… except for his avoidance of everything Arts and Crafts. He did start making some marigolds for his grandmother though.
Taking sharpie to a skull isn’t typical for me. Also doing something with a more traditional sugar skull style. We’re going to look at old pictures and trinkets, tell family stories. Hopefully make some little cakes. Feeling so lucky
thank you so much! my art has many meanings, to me at least, and many times people ask me what my art means… but I feel I cannot answer, I don’t want to, I want the viewer to make their own interpretation and I don’t want to effect the viewer by telling what I was thinking with my art…
If anyone sews they might recognize this as a seam ripper. It does what it’s called and these are small sharp and effective tools.
My mom says “Think globally, act locally,” in response to my anxiety about real, non-delusion, dangerous enormous level problems in the world. It helps sometimes.
