hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

"Love for canine pets in particular was one of the most attractive features of the ancient Roman character.” Toynbee, English Historian

Roman terracotta figure of a pet dog, 1st century AD. British Museum

An ancient Roman epitaph for a dog called Myia reads: 'How sweet she was, how kind, always a friend in sleep and in bed. You can no longer run wild through the house, jump on me, or cheer me up with your sweet bites; The deep grave already holds you unaware; Shame you died'

Grave Stele for a dog called Helena, 2nd century: 'To the incomparable and worthy light of Helena's soul'

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.
