Wota Trash

i lie when i say i ain't a wota

[trashcannie]

if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in the midwest, this is it. 

[jasperzilla]

You missed some of the best ones

[dragonastra]

the best part about it is that the art installation isn’t actually called the Bean. It’s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.

But i mean, look at it. It’s a bean.

[vashthestampedee]

How could you forget this one though

[akamine-chan]

I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.

[solongstarbird]

someone help me why is anish kapoor important what did he do?

[gay-jesus-probably]

Alright sit down for some Art World Drama bcause this is what I live for.

So, sometime last year (?) science invented Vantablack, which is the darkest possible shade of black. Art world got incredibly excited. But as it needs to be very carefully made in a lab, it’s hard to get a hold of, and is extremely expensive. Enter Anish Kapoor, aka FuckFace McGee. Anish Kapoor buys the rights to Vantablack. He is the only human being on the planet that can legally use it, and he’s kind of a prick about it.

Art world is not thrilled with that.

Enter Stuart Semple.

Stuart Semple is an artist, and also makes pigments to sell in his free time. Stuart Semple is astoundingly pissed about this Vantablack nonsense, and Anish Kapoor’s dickery. Stuart Semple makes a new pigment, the brightest shade of pink ever, called Pinkest Pink, and puts it for sale on the internet. To be bought by everybody except Anish Kapoor. Literally, to purchase, you need to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, do not associate with him, and will not sell or give the pigment to Anish Kapoor or his associates. Art world has a good laugh, everyone buys Pinkest Pink because it’s awesome, and damn it we deserve something.

Anish Kapoor however is a penis, and will not take this lying down, because HOW DARE he not have literally everything.

Anish Kapoor gets his London associates to buy him a thing of Pinkest Pink, and being such a classy human being, posts a picture to instagram of him with his middle finger covered in Pinkest Pink, captioned with “Up yours. #pink”

Everyone flips shit, because. Y’know. Fuck that guy. Especially Stuart Semple. For context here, Anish Kapoor is one of the richest artists on the planet, and has repeatedly been referred to as everything wrong with the art world, and the epitome of the art worlds elitism problem. He’s a giant douchebag. Meanwhile Stuart Semple makes pigments just to get them out there. He turns 0 profit from his now enourmously popular pigments.

Stuart Semple launches an investigation as to who the fuck leaked Pinkest Pink, and plans to strike back. He does so by releasing two new products. First is Diamond Dust, which is a glitter made from glass, so that a painting is still visible after it’s applied, but glitters like a mofo. It’s the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isn’t Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, it’s going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Semple’s way of saying “shove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happens”. Except without saying that, because he can get an insult across while still being fucking classy.

He also releases Black 2.0, created with the help of over a thousand artists worldwide.

Black 2.0 is the answer to Vantablack. Black 2.0 is a slightly less black black, but looks functionally the same to the human eye. It’s completely safe, smells like cherries, and costs four pounds. Vantablack is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, can’t be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if you’re not extremely careful, and costs thousands of dollars. Anish Kapoor is the only human being who can use Vantablack. He is the only human being who cannot use Black 2.0.

So I think we can guess who got the better deal.

And thus the feud ends, Kapoor defeated.

…But not quite.

Kapoor, in this entire afair, has made exactly two comments to the public. The first being his charming message about aquiring Pinkest Pink, the second being claiming to Buzzfeed that he and his small army of lawyers will be suing Semple, an extremely poor artist who cannot afford a lawyer.

No lawsuit has been made yet, fyi.

The point is, Kapoor is a prick, and doesn’t like talking to the lower classes. So one day in July 2017, he decides he needs another floor on his London studio apartment, and starts making arrangements to have it built. His neighbors are fucking pissed, because this will ruin the light of their apartments. They call to Semple to save them, or at the very least piss Kapoor off some more.

Semple answers to the call, and releases two new paints, Phaze and Shift, as always, banned to Kapoor. They change colours, Phaze with temperature, and Shift is just iridescent. Shift needs to be painted over Black 2.0 to work, and Phaze just works on its own.

So that’s been the art world for the last two years.

Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.

[todayiwrotenothing]

Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoor’s birthday.

[secretsfromwholecloth]

Reblogging for “By attending this event you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, you are not attending on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this event will not be attended by Anish Kapoor.”

ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!

[extremedistressorstellarblowjob]

I know this isn’t my art blog but this entire post gives me life

[galahadiant]

im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands

[cat-vee-deactivated20240417]

Y’all missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptly ‘Lit’. This is from their product page:

[claydart]

Two things:

1. “Anish Kapoor is however a penis” is the best line in this post.

2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple

[speckled-light]

I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.

[0-memento-mori-0]

Go support him the paint’s are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor

[firebird-and-pegasus]

This has nothing to do with my blog, but this just made my day. Petty at it’s finest. I love it.

 Also I want to save this because I am a very, very, armature artist (I need to do more art), and some of this stuff looks like it would be so much fun to experiment with!

[ismichiart]

Tfw you're pretty sure your pc casually deletes your .sai files randomly

[ismichiart]

this is years old, but i realized it’s a shame to keep it on my pc 

it’s a wip storyboard for a chapter being directed by pokespeani 

apparently the project went nowhere, tho me going inactive definitely didn’t help any loll 

[ismichiart]

i still draw btw 

most just doodles and small stuff at work tho

edit: this was legit intended to be a “gtfo outta my system” thing so everything is extra off oh my, still good tho yay ... even tho bp’s clothes are weird

[ismichiart]

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

A MediaFire upload of the stuff I mentioned earlier 

Things ain’t that organized, but it’s still there

[ismichiart]

Here’s a Google Drive upload of the old stuff I mentioned 

Most of it isn’t organized like it was on my PC tho loll

[thiswasminefirst]

those are the best dreads i’ve drawn in years

[ismichiart]

i need to remember that if i get in a “can’t draw at all” rut: 

draw climax being stupid 

[ismichiart]

I AM DEDICATING MY TIME DURING LECTURE REAL WELL YO

[ismichiart]

a pair of ocs that i lazily drew and coloured the other day 

[ismichiart]

I had a dream the other night and whoop here we go. Cat aspects due to the person’s body language and “attack/specialty”; hair colour and “ears” design due to some random image someone made in-dream of them, rest was decided after waking up since I forgot the details as usual. 

[ismichiart]

drew it yesterday so anatomy's still horrendous but at least i could honestly attempt it

it's my witchsona in her more casual (outing) clothes

i kinda want to change her shawl-whatever colour, fix the accent on her hair to be less dramatic, and update her boots to look less dull, so one day i'll edit this 

[ismichiart]

worked on a witchsona because cocomotion​ won't quit reblogging them

---

When younger, she had assisted random folk with luck potions - both good and bad, it was her specialty and hey, it works as a form of karma. Unfortunately for her, that led some rumours to fly about amongst the locals and so she's sought after by folk from time-to-time for some potions and charms. If she likes them, then they receive it - sometimes for free, sometimes not, depends on what she needs at the time - but if she dislikes them, then they're out of luck. 

She posses defensive magic, and some attack, although both are typically only good against those without magic qualities (she's weak for fights). She also messes with life magic and can only really handle small healing spells such as cuts and bruises; she doesn't concentrate for any tougher spells. 

Whenever she goes into town or foraging or whatever, she wears less restrictive clothes and puts her hair up. She doesn't understand why she never cuts her hair so it just grows longer. At least her floors are never dusty. 

[ismichiart]

Apparently drawn resembling george w

[ismichiart]

i decided to draw these three together and i haven't a clue why

i may proper colour this later, or maybe even ink it properly too

[ismichiart]

I TRIED DRAWING MERURU BECAUSE I COULDN’T GET A PIC OF A LOVELY COSPLAYER YESTERDAY SINCE THE DEALERS ROOM WAS FAR TOO CROWDED So, like If anyone that knows of an otakon 2014 cosplayer that cosplayed meruru on Saturday and visited the dealers room, please lead me to a pic of that wondrous person

edit: after practically a year, i realized google exists 

http://www.acparadise.com/acp/display.php?c=80352 < there’s the cosplayer i saw

http://www.acparadise.com/acp/display.php?p=326107 < omfg there was a totori too 

[ismichiart]

colour pallete for spin to grab later-ish

[ismichiart]

i was messing with gaia dress up and felt urge to make oc 'cause i'm a loser

for some reason i forgot i could tektek with my own inventory, so i used gaia's item search in-dress up instead (which is annoying and hard to find things closer to what i want so i gave up on finding a better suited hat, i can't afford four of these things so hahaa nope never getting this) 

ANYWAY 

i did that planning to have a similar theme to spin's (its only chemical) tho this time i had an idea of the cliche "(sometimes-at-least) psycho princess traveling with army in space" 

edit: some notes on this thingy

PLANET INFO 

POPULATION -- 2 billion

MAX CAPACITY -- 10 billion

BIRTHS PER YEAR -- 343 million

LOSSES PER YEAR -- 250 million (this includes moving out) 

RULE -- Monarchy  -- in order to succeed: gotta be eldest or most experienced, while also (one of the) one(s) that has the most "royal" blood "rank" 

CLIMATE -- sky too thick to see moons (sometimes you can see one or two) -- generally warm all year-round, worldwide -- no poles or something but it works out, i'unno science and science not absolute anyway (this is fiction so bs-ing is okay right?) 

LAND MASS -- 83% 

WATER (total) -- 17% 

WATER (drinkable distribution) -- 12% on land, 88% wells 

ROYAL FAMILY INFO 

the crest has two forms, one where the diamond is pointing up, one pointing down

they got in a real long war over which was "right" -- they "tied" when resources were exhausted, population cost was 4 or 5 billion so they ain't doing that again 

CURRENT RULERS: Zora and Henrik, both in 80's 

NEXT IN LINE (not in order): Jaka, F 39; Pavel and Pavla, F 34; Branko, M 33; Morana, F 17; Vera, F 13; Pia, F 9; and Sasa and Saso, 6 

Morana info (very short, like seriously short it's just about one thing) 

Princess Morana, for whatever reason decided upon later, is kinda not meant to take control of the ship. She just got fed up with underskilled folk being in charge so she took command. She's partially fleeing from her sisters and brother (especially one of them) who were told to send her back home (personally with) if they were to encounter her out in space <3 

CREW INFO

UNIFORMS -- there are pants vs skirts and long boots vs shorter boots for choice, top is same for all, as is the headsets; there are very few lack of personalization allowed (eg scarves and hats are allowed, but a captain has to wear the captain hat) 

CAPTAIN "PORRIDGE", M 11: prodigy; intimidated by royalty so let Monara take control with just minimal crying on his part; spoiled by crew, not taken seriously outside of emergencies (commands always followed tho); and not used to serious threats like war/fights (but can handle them) so it shows when he's crying while ordering the crew and junk <3 

CAPTAIN'S MOM, "LICORICE", F 30's: (i don't know what's after/on captain's side/etc); rank increased due to Porridge becoming Captain, is good at job but not the best; appointed to current ship in general tho mostly due to watching/raising son; tends to go with the flow without much input from herself, consoles people when they least expect anyone to <3; and "always" wearing a headset, even during freetime 

SHIP INFO

escape pods located beneath control room, disguised as lights (i guess there are some in back but generally only crew is on board) 

mechanical function junk located in "wings", which is probably stupid but whatever 

crew homes are in a mini environment mimicking their home: urban townhomes for lower class/rank; suburban condos for middle class/rank; and a "castly" for whatever royalty's on board (in this case, Monara) 

to get to and fro quickly (to command room and back), most take the trolly system -- there's a hovercraft pad at the castle for royalty/high command to take

there is a forest like environment surrounding the entire population center 

MAX FAMILY COUNT OF 3 OR 4: if you push this, your family either splits or all leave when next can

the "town" is, like, 90% staff, sometimes they get visitors for trade or aid but usually they visit a planet if need be

the "town" is actually large, but just small enough for their means (like job/transportation means)
