Shake it Out

*drops the mic on accident* most things nerdy, arty, funny, and possibly annoying

the overwhelming feeling of sadness sometimes when someone treats me with kindness

I'm alive and spending too much time on Instagram's shitty algorithm (also not posting) because burnout (probably) and having to do adult things like work an 8-to-5 job and make car payments and cook food for myself and talk to a therapist.

Now I've peeked at this app for the first time in a very long time and I'm equally tempted to burn down my account out of embarrassment or try to get back to posting (fan)art for fun again like I did uhhhhh 9 years ago.

Stop looking at my cringey old big4 art noooooooo

Dang why am I getting emotional and nostalgic when scrolling through my dash for the first time in like 9 months??? It's like im back in a simpler time where I was just procrastinating on college assignments and over-sharing to internet strangers....

Hi people I'm alive 🤟

STRAY & FOUND is a 16 page fantasy short comic zine about an elf on the run and the unlikely friendship she makes while hiding from those who hunt her down. Light, fluffy, romantic, this story is just the start of something bigger for Cat and Damien.

Nothing quite like trying to juggle my own mental health while also trying to support someone else with theirs. I'm tired.

hey so - we frogged your boyfriend. The pattern wasn't working out and we'd rather use the materials for something else. Yeah, we unraveled all of him, wound him into balls and put him back in the stash. Sorry. You can help us pick out a new pattern, if you want.

-gasp- you reduced him to boyfriend material??

the fun thing about learning/using graphic (mainly layout) design in my formative art years while learning all other art Things (high school and college, where I got a degree in Illustration but took no design courses, but worked at the school’s lit mag every year) is I have no patience for on-trend graphic design and have a strong aversion to every “Graphic Design” job listing (that dominate any and all art-related searches) but I can still cringe at Bad Designs and all the little pet peeves I developed along the way.

I consider myself to be a painter but watch me compile and print/bind a small book in InDesign of a fanfic I really like, all in my spare time with my own adult money.

[artydesk]

Is the "urgently hiring" job listing still considered a red flag if I am, also, coincidentally, looking to be urgently hired

Check please fandom comin' in hot with the reblog tag validation like the good old days, thanks guys

COULD I INTEREST YOU IN EVERYTHING ALL OF THE TIME?

[artydesk]

I keep getting waves of nostalgia and yearning tm for back when I made art regularly but at least now I have an Actual Adult Reason (ie working full time in a mentally/physically draining retail management job) for not doing it. I think I spend like one night a week fiddling at my desk. But I also just ordered a bunch more bookbinding supplies because the full time position came with a raise/promotion and I'm tired
