we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

I went down a rabbit hole this summer researching romance novel covers and painting fanart in this style and

this is an EXTREMELY fun style to work in, and also

many of the most iconic romance novel covers you’re probably picturing when you think “classic painted romance novel cover” were produced by one prolific, masterful artist

Her name was Elaine Duillo, and she had a long and extremely productive career spanning from the mid 60’s to her retirement in 2003. She worked mainly in acrylics.

She did illustration work in other genres as well, but she really found her niche in romance novels. She pretty much redefined the aesthetic conventions of the genre, popularizing male models and male nudity and sexualizing men to cater to the female gaze in a way that simply wasn’t the norm before her work. You know Fabio? she’s the one who started using him as a model, and essentially launched his career. And honestly, just look at her work:

magnificent

Wait shit, she retired in 2003? I think that’s exactly when I started seeing shitty photoshops on all the new romance novel covers.

She was literally carrying the entire industry single-handed and then they just did not replace her.

I have this conviction that you tie little bits of your intentions into your knitting as you do it.  Thousands and thousands of tiny knots all in a row, turning string into something useful–whether you believe in magic or not, I can’t shake the certainty that there’s something meaningful there.

Which means that when you knit a project marathoning ten hours of this or twenty episodes of that TV show, listening to that podcast, reading that book…it ends up in there.  This is the sweater knit to kids’ cartoons, the kind where nobody dies, and it’s soft and it’s safe and it’s warm.  This hat came from Stranger Things, and it’s a shield against darkness, it’ll keep you safe.  These are the Leverage socks for remembering how much your found family loves you, the Persona shawl for the guts to say ‘fuck it’.  This is the knitwear you put on to save the world.

(Like a lot of things humans think, I’m pretty sure this one is absolutely true in exactly the amount the knitter and the object-wearer believe it is.)

You see the thing is. You have to be incredibly obnoxious on tumblr every once in a while for the exact same reason some people shoot a gun into the air in their backyard every month or so. Keeps the follower count down.

[telltaletypist]

telling gay men that they are allowed to love each other freely, openly, and passionately will always be more important than reassuring insecure straight men that they can hug their bestie without being gay

[telltaletypist]

the solution to men withholding love and affection from each other out of fear of being perceived as gay is to remove the stigma around being perceived as gay, not to "no homo" male affection
