Halloween, but make it GayĀ šš
I couldnāt find any gay Halloween merch that I liked, so I made my own!
Drew these designs for this weekās speedpaint in order to both celebrate Halloween and shine a light on the fact that itās LGBT history month!Ā

one of my long running headcannons for Stolen Century is that whenever the crew misplaces Taako he kinda justā¦ invents a new persona for the cycle. And it makes him nigh impossible to find again.
I mean, sometimes, he just opens a restaurant, or starts a weird cult of personality, and those times they can probably track him down. But the rest of the time he ends up in completely random situations/identities, such as;
Fisherman: They found him after a handful of the crew go overboard during a storm. Taako and a crew of alien fisherpeople scooped them out of the water. The aliens thought that Taakoās name was Diego. He kept talking about the sea like he didnāt refuse to go near the water for six months in cycle 56 because he saw a weird, translucent eel in the shallows. Heās wearing bedazzled rubber boots.Ā
Auctioneer: which wouldnāt be too weird if it was just a hussle, but. He seems serious? This is a charity auction? Someone hired him, Taako, to do this. No one knew he could talk fast like that Ā (heās cheating with a haste spell).
Actual, Literal Doctor: Apparently Taako got admitted to a hospitable and somehow ended up taking over by sheer force of personality. He keeps walking around with a limp and diagnosing people with incredibly rare diseases. He has done so many medical crimes, but somehow he keeps being right.Ā
Truck Driver: Taako has always been the worst driver and yet someone gave him a 80k ton vehicle that heās not even proficient in. It is absolutely full of candy wrappers and take out. Heās wearing overalls and he keeps saying āoverā and ācopyā even when heās talking to the crew face to face. His Trucker Name is Ed.
Judge: The crew didnāt find him until they got into hot water with the local law enforcement and had to go through a hearing. Taako walked into the court room and everyone lost their goddamned minds. He pronounced them guilty on the spot.Ā
HR management: What are you doing at a desk job, Taako? Why arenāt you focusing on our world saving mission, Taako? The new hires arenāt going to make it past probation if we donāt find the Light, Taako. What do you mean we need to sign a form in triplicate? Did you design this form, specifically for this situation? Why does this look good? Your resume was one page of purple comic sans covered in scratchĀ ān sniff stickers and cheeto dust. Youāre making the Captain cry, Taako.Ā
Forgot to put this part earlier but anyways, the reasons Taako is Like This are;
1) Lup is 85% of his impulse control and also like, 40% of his identityĀ
2) Heās a transmutation boy, a shapeshifter, a chameleon, metamorphosis is his bread and butter and even if he doesnāt exactly blend in, you better bet chaā boy fuckinā adapts
3) Even remembering Lup, Taakoās got some abandonment issues, and also self-worth issues, and also a general anxiety around not having food/shelter/stability so when he gets separated from the others he tends to latch on to the first opportunity to come his way. Kinda like when you leave a dog home alone for 5 minutes and theyāre likeĀ āI thought you were never coming back ever so I panickedā, but instead of trashing your house he becomes a professional Life Coach who exclusively caters to people with famous instagram pets
(He has also destroyed the Starblaster in a panic but that is not a unique trait amongst the Crew and also never leads to them finding him in an apiculture start up after three months of being awol)
please welcome newest bog boy family
So Avi Kaplan, the deep-voiced guy in Pentatonix, is doing his solo stuff and I liked this one. Heās definitely moving away from just being The Bass Guy and into more of my favorite line of music, which is the one where people sit in the woods and sing sadly about owls, or sometimes moss.

āOthersideā will invite comparisons to Hozier, but most of that will be due to him being a handsome beardy guy sitting in a forest soulfully requesting that the underworld pull him down with ivy.
However, thatās honestly quite normal and I have a 20+ song playlist of things that sound exactly like this, so Iām not going to compare it to Hozier. Heās clearly going for Fleet Foxes, with some Iron & Wine.Ā
When heās not in the terrifyingly-low bass range, Avi sounds weirdly like Neil Young to me - but I donāt know much about music, so Iād have to say itās the same color and brassy feeling with a distinctive twist in the vocals as they climb or fall. Iāve always liked that.
He is also bringing in some good and grounding Jewish American vibes to the Bog Boy Family, which largely consists of, oddly, Protestant British boys. As much as I love them, there is only so much bluegrass banjo you REALLY want from the British, you know?Ā
Anyway, there we have it.
I think we found the Hades to Hozierās Persephone.
Thanks to Youtube and its video recs I have fallen in love with this song that I listened to next.
OH YEAH āChange on the Riseā is some Johnny Cash level of dramatic music to stride about and burn down buildings to. A+ RECOMMENDED TOO
āDonāt Work with Death!ā
āDonāt work with death, because then you invite it into your house.ā
Death is already in my house. Death is everywhere. Death is what decays the plant matter that feeds my garden. Death is what feeds the herbs I use in my spells, for each grows from what died before it.
Death is what feeds my family - death of plants, the death of animals. I would not disrespect the spirits of that which feeds us by ignoring their sacrifice.Ā
Death is the veil between my ancestors and myself, keeping them at rest and then acting as the gate for them to step into their next life.
When I do hospice work and sit with someone who is accepting their approaching death, I donāt tell them death is something to fear or avoid. I tell them death is the friend that walked beside them, every step of their life, maintaining the balance of the world, and waiting for them with open arms, to escort them to rebirth.Ā
āDonāt work with death!āĀ
I would not ignore lifeās partner, not for arrogance or fear or ignorance. When I go to my own, I want to greet death with respect, acceptance, and gratitude.Ā

if youāve ever wondered what itās like to live in the midwest, this is it.Ā
You missed some of the best ones
the best part about it is that the art installation isnāt actually called the Bean. Itās called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.
But i mean, look at it. Itās a bean.
How could you forget this one though
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.
someone help me why is anish kapoor important what did he do?
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, itās 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 heās 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 Kapoorās 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 itās 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 withĀ āUp yours. #pinkā
Everyone flips shit, because. Yāknow. 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. Heās 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 itās applied, but glitters like a mofo. Itās the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isnāt Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, itās going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Sempleās way of sayingĀ āshove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happensā. 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. Itās 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, canāt be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if youāre 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.
ā¦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 doesnāt 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 thatās been the art world for the last two years.
Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.
Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoorās birthday.
Reblogging for āBy 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.ā
ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!
I know this isnāt my art blog but this entire post gives me life
im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands
Yāall missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptlyĀ āLitā. This is from their product page:
Two things:
1.Ā āAnish Kapoor is however a penisā is the best line in this post.
2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple
I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.
Go support him the paintās are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor
He is my fucking role model for pettiness oh my god
It got better! Iām also excited because he just released biodegradable glitter in non plastic containers! How amazing is that?! Stuart Semple, good guy for the planet and artists, fighter against the rich elite artist like asshole Kapoor.
An older project, but he also did this:
(x)
oh dude hes metal as fuckĀ
Every addition to this post is better than the last.
Me, being gay and having my blood drawn: soā¦what do you need my blood for again?
Stuart Semple: gonna make an anti-government t-shirt with it.

Is this how you roll?
Yāall, Iām over here DYING cuz Google suggested me this article about the crisis of backyard chicken keepersā which is that they love having chickens so much that they keep getting more, and then donāt know what to do with all the eggs.
Which I can see how this would be a problem, but itās just so funny to me because they had interviewed this one guy who started off with 3 chickens, and then kept adding more and more, and eventually started donating the eggs to a local food bank, and at the end of the year when they wrote him a tax receipt, he discovered heād donated over 400 dozen eggs.
Seriously, it was a whole article talking very seriously about how people are so into chickens that they just keep collecting them like pokemon and then have toĀ āscrambleā (their words not mine) to get rid of the eggs, because they werenāt even thinking of egg production, they just loved having chickens.
And while I may be over here laughing a bit too hard, honestly? Big Mood.

Personal Experience: I have limited experience with Hestia as I havenāt really started practicing with her yet. But the experiences I have had have all been really positive and easy going.Ā
I donāt know who needs to hear this, but Hestia is proud of you.
She is proud of your successes, however big or small they seem to you. Sheās proud that you kept pushing through, and that you keep pushing through. Sheās proud of when you said yes to something, and when you said no. Saying no is a powerful boundary.
Sheās proud when you fail too. Failures can be tough, but sheās there by your side and is proud you put yourself out there enough to fail. Failures lead to different successes.
Sheās proud of how you handle things, and how you learn. Sheās proud of the days where you get some unpleasant, but needed, things done and sheās proud when you choose to spend the day focusing on you.
Sheās proud of you for everything you do, even if you feel like you donāt deserve it. All of those things contribute to who you are, whether you are simply surviving it, embracing it, or learning from it.
HESTIA IS PROUD OF YOU.
