Honestly just when I get back into posting on tumblr

I get contacted saying that somebody wants to sell my artwork for $300 (lol) then that I need to contact Tumblr via a discord chat because this fucking idiot- https://www.tumblr.com/clevervirtuejinx Mocked up an image and reported my account to tumblr for multiple fraud violations. Only when googling it did I find this is a common scam but needless to say, I aint going to be posting jack shit here unless it's 100px X 100px ever again. Same reason I stopped in the first place.

Some sketchbook stuff from over the years. I might go back to drawing things at a smaller scale because it forced attention to mark making, detail and negative space.

I took this photo in 2010 of a bench in the garden of the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice.

It's a collaborative poem by Henri Cole and Jenny Holzer. This particular part of the poem references there being no boundaries between lovers and the physicality of grief of loss. To lose yourself into somebody so much that you lose part of yourself that the two become entwined and indistinguishable. When loss comes, not only do you lose this person, you lose part of yourself. The sheer brutality and physicality of grief. At a time when I was in an all consuming relationship with a person with BPD (at the time undiagnosed) the consuming nature of dealing with this, resulted in losing who I was. The toll this takes on partners can not be underestimated. Particularly in my case it felt like every day was a battle for survival, though not wanting to admit this would come to an end and destroy me under the weight.

The rain felt even more important, like the clouds knew what was to come and I didn't want to look up.

Somtimes it's not the process of making art than can be the difficult part. Putting pencil to paper etc.

Sometimes (always) sending invoices is the thing I want to put off the most.

I did yoga for the first time yesterday, trying to help out with shoulder issues. I've been running a lot but god damn, I'm sore. Getting old sucks.

Why does everything always have to feel so fucking intense. You'd have thought after years of dealing with depression, anxiety, that you'd begin at some point to value yourself. That you'd get over the wiring in your brain. Perhaps there's part of you that likes feeling so heavy, because in these times, perhaps to feel is really what matters more than most.

Gotta love unsolicited creative advise from those who have never made anything in their life.

Gee fucking Gee.

“boundary-guard stone”

Rocks are used to gently signify that a particular path of entryway within a garden is closed. They are used most commonly within tea gardens, so that the host can politely and subtly guide guests down the appropriate path.

Set your boundaries - don't obey.
