#Sneakpeek! #LucyDodd is in the midst of creating a new large-scale painting using unusual materials like fermented walnuts, kombucha scoby, hematite, yerba mate & pigments she has collected in her travels. The work will be part of her #OpenPlan exhibition, debuting this Thursday. For four days only, Dodd will turn the fifth-floor gallery into a site of artistic exploration and live action.

Why Aren’t I Writing My Paper That’s Due Tomorrow Right Now Though Idk Lololol

i’m a hundred reaching hands & no practical ideas just kidding, hold my mask in the palm of your mask or why do i always assume one will fit inside the other & yours will cradle mine, larger & more convincing, and with whiter teeth

this is the place i live at night. it’s more a nest than a room. this is a painting of the last text i sent that didnt go through, and it was important, and i was begging for a real alarm 

or a reason for one. this is fun right? in the foyer of a party this is fun and i am deciding and saying so and i reach with my hundred hands at chaos like my mother reaches for a reason to forgive me for proving

anyone can waste any amount of potential if the moonroof on the highway is down while a slow song is on and suddenly the girl in your high school science class is inescapable and maybe even everything

so how about this time that never happened. cool. so yeah just for right now what we want to be real is real and i want

to know for sure anything. out the window a great flood, an excuse to justify all the flailing–now it’s treading and productive. sarah worries about her thesis, her post grad plans, believes in things and i want to tell her that’s precious, hold onto it, not too hard– don’t strangle it, just hold it–i dont know how to do that but you do i only know how to strangle or release completely. i know all the objects that sink and all the objects that float and i know all the emergency exits that lead to balconies from which to watch a fire grow. is it bad if it illuminates you a little. please dont blame me i believe i just got here. i dont think my eyes have adjusted. i bob my legs when i’m nervous and i have been bobbing my legs for 12 hours a day for 22 years and you think you can tell me to calm down like it’s easy, like it’s possible, like the idea has never once occured to me

my mother is frustrated i’m so irresponsible with my face and why can’t i change my hair it’s been 5 years since i first put it in a braid and i have not taken it down a single day i think it’s all that makes me feel like i am still myself after all this shifting, before alcohol or girls or losing faith in an afterlife i woke up messy in the morning and braided my hair to one side and in this way i am still myself no matter what my brain decides 

but the optimistic upward curl of a book cover bent too many times still makes me smile a little internally  and i will carry symbols of tenderness like these as many mornings as i have to

It might be considered nosey to thumb through someone else’s little black address book, but that doesn’t bother Mary Savig, curator of manuscripts at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. “It is very nosey and that’s why I really enjoy doing it,” she says.

The “Little Black Books” of some major and minor American artists are currently on view in a show at the Archives of American Art in Washington, D.C.

“We can read correspondence and read diaries, and we can find out so much more about their process as artists, their everyday lives,” Savig explains. The books show “the importance of their social networks, and how they would learn from each other and push each other to experiment in new ways.”

Explore the Interweb

Luckily, Tumblr is home to an overwhelming community of artists and writers. Here’s a couple of our favs to get you started:

http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/ - a very cool prompt blog updated by an English teacher, the prompts are pretty in-depth and detailed. Definitely worth a look. (also an apparent John Green fan and Nerdfighter)

http://unblockingwritersblock.tumblr.com/ - another cool prompt blog that’s updated pretty regularly. A cool thing here are Title Prompts where you are given a title and you have to write the story. Very cool, no?

http://visualsource.co/ - I’ve been following this art blog for a while, it contains a ton of cool and contemporary fashion and art. Shameless plug for his Instagram because it contains a lot of cool art too, especially in-gallery work.

http://women-artists.org/ - blog dedicated to showcasing all types of art from women artists, they also publish volumes that contain interviews of women artists as well.

http://8bitfiction.com/ - I just really, really, really, really like 8 bit and fiction and what better way to appreciate them than at the same.

know any good blogs we should check out??

BIG THINGS ARE COMING

What’s good fellow Red Weathermen,

After a too long hiatus, the Red Weather Tumblr is making a comeback in a big way. With the Spring E-Board chosen, we’re excited to meet and put together some really cool things for y’all. Check back here soon for more writing prompts, tiny art things and other artsy jargon throughout the semester that we can all ~aesthetically discern~ together. 

<3
