magneto: how do you have so much faith in humans to do the right thing when they have proven you wrong time and time again?

the humble charles xavier:

[fickleharpy]

I drew a Magneto pin up specifically referencing the robe Jim Lee drew on him in X-Men #1 (1991)

[fickleharpy]

I drew an Eda.

Oh yeah, I'm still drawing stuff, dear tumblr. I mostly post to instagram under "fickleharpy"

Does op have a brain? Also, do they understand anything about Jackson Pollock?

[autistic-goblin666]

Nope

[dementedgnomicwizard]

abstraction for the sake of abstraction misses the entire fundamental purpose of art which is that it Says Something even if you don’t mean it to Say Something and all pollocks art says is “i have managed to remove all aspects of personality and substance from the process of painting” and 8000 male critics were like OAHAGAGHSB nuts everywhere. anyway purely technique-focused art is fucking boring and anyone in the world could shit out the same thing if they tried for a few hours as opposed to actual good art; when it comes to good abstract art then sure maybe you could replicate the technique easily but the feeling and the message behind it are impossible to duplicate and that’s what makes it interesting and worthwhile.

Adding on to this the only reason pollocks paintings were ever accepted in the art world was because America was trying to propagandize American individualism by pushing the ‘We cherish our avant-garde tortured arteests unlike the FILTHY COMMIES”  as if the man’s shit doesn’t look like every painter’s drop cloth. This is also the time where they pushed a lot of graphic type stuff like warhol and basically the entire 60s was the american art worlds “look at me im not like those other white guys” phase

Also pollocks art is so technically trash that it’s literally degrading at a rate that cannot be preserved so it effectively is falling off the canvas lol.

I made a new patch, which is available on my etsy! Shipping will be delayed, waiting for supplies to arrive on 7/9/19

[fickleharpy]

Instagram won’t let me like, comment, or add descriptions to anything anymore. So I guess I’m back here? 

Here’s a thing I drew.

Have y’all heard the word of Bibo? 

TL: DR Bibo is an obscure found item sold by a small company known as Archie Mcphee (Accoutrement) 

He’s a very funny character and the whimsical weirdness this company brings to an otherwise bleak consumer culture gives me hope for every weird artist out there following their bliss.

As a joke when tumblr flagged a Bibo inktober I did in 2017, I threatened to draw Bibo in a different style for 12 days. This exercise got me out of a creative and existential funk I was in. Yes, consumer culture is kinda gross on many levels, but there is still whimsy and fun out there. Be the change you want to see in the world! Draw weird shit that isn’t a broad-appeal Disney mash up, for fuck’s sake!!!
