hey

I noticed I’ve been getting a lot of new followers here, which would be great if I still used this blog. I’m not sure why people are following when my last four posts state pretty clearly that this blog is now inactive, but this blog is now inactive. if you want new content from me, pls follow my art blog triacanthos. I post there a lot. I don’t post here anymore. thanks :*

hi

so…. as you may have noticed, I sort of quit tumblr. actually I didn’t even intend to; I had thought about it before but could never make it happen, but one day last year I just logged off and didn’t log back on. it didn’t even take any effort. it was like ~destiny~ …or something. anyway I don’t feel like writing a novel about it, but tl;dr tumblr became a huge timesuck that I was using exclusively to live vicariously through other people and in doing so end up hating myself even more–all while I was living where I wanted to live, doing what I wanted to do–so I guess I finally realised what it was doing to me and just cut myself off. it helped!

THE POINT OF THIS POST is 1. to say hi and that I miss a lot of people here 2. to announce that I am going to start using my art blog again, but not this one. the last thing I want is to start spending lots of time here again, so I won’t be following very many people (only art blogs and mutuals from here, probably) and I plan to get online only to post. but if you’re still interested, feel free to follow me over there, and do with this account what you wish. I am drawing a lot more (and hopefully better) now than I was before, so…look forward to that(?)

I am also still quite active on instagram if anyone’s on there, and I’ve also started using paintberri, so hmu here or there or wherever. send me a message if you want to talk on skype or LINE, too.

that is all! this blog is now (formally) on indefinite hiatus; see you around hopefully!

My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.

how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

It disturbs me how many people don’t know the anatomy of a pen/pencil/brush/stylus/tool of choice when held by an artist. I would have thought this was common knowledge!

There is a tube inside your tool of choice that is filled with art. When you first pick it up for the day, there’s a very small blockage (the red part in the diagram that I have helpfully provided for you) of bad or awkward art that has sunk down and settled near the tip. The only way to get rid of it is to draw it out onto a page/canvas.

Once you do that, you can get to the good art! It’s totally normal. It happens to everyone. That’s why people do warmups before they draw - they know that awkward art is lurking right near the tip, so they’re getting rid of it.

New artists especially seem to not know that it’s there, and sometimes they might think their bad art blockage is never ending, but if you keep drawing, you’ll get to the good art. Sometimes that awkward art blockage can build up a little bit if you go a long time without drawing, too. Just keep going, though. I promise you that you can break through it, if you just keep going.
