R.I.P. Chester Bennington. We will never ever forget you. It was an honor for me to attend one of your last concerts last month in Berlin. Thank you for every great song to scream, inspire and move on… Chester, sleep well… We love you. P.s. I still can’t believe it. Linkin Park *1996- ∞ ❤️

"Tell me what's really going on behind those beautiful smile, blonde Bond." "You are the proof that aliens exist, Sajtschik." A little moodboard I made of pictures I collected over months on pinterest of my main OC's Nikolai and Jen. Jen's collage is still a little too empty she's a complex personality or how Niko calls her "Alien".. but first that's enough haha

[karpfenondeck]

Some recent sketches I quite like~ Especially bc I missed my OC and fictional bf Nikolai xD ❤️ it’s sad af but I don’t care he’s an easy-care boyfriend. bye. +Khaleesi, bc Dany is my one and only Queen. (and Jon my one and only King)

Some tumblr tips for artists

• only the first five tags are serchable so make um count.

•Some of the most popular art related tags are #art, #illustration, #design, and #artists on tumblr.

• If you put a link in your post it won’t appear in serch results

• The best time to post seems to be from around 8pm to midnight east coast time

About being an Artist...

Unfortunately there will always be people who don’t grant others their ‘glory’ or skill. It’s not like you go to bed like: “I wish I could draw/paint like Picasso or Dürer” or “write like Shakespear” and when you wake up -oohh suddenly magic happened! No. It’s years and years of experience, practice, ups and downs, tears and nearly given up moments. Nothing comes from doing nothing and I guess I speak for many (if artists or writers) that we do have such moments and are annoyed by the believe we could just swing a wand a -swoosh- awesome works. BUT of course and luckily there is also joy! Let’s see the bright moments e.g. when people tell you or you notice that you seem to inspire and motivate others… So to all the artists and writers out there: Don’t let anyone stop you! Keep going! And to all newbies: It’s all about practice! You can do it! Nobody has the right to limit you. Life is so short why don’t even try and do what you want?
