IT'S JUNE

I dont post so much on here, and ive been reblogging less and less but I wanted to share something

And i decided here with strangers was the best place

Back in November, I got Notifed that Florence & The Machine was going on tour since she'd just released an album.

Ive always wanted to see her live ever since I heard 'Shake It Out' on the radio. The more of her music I listened to the more I was certain i had to see her in concert one day, it was a dream. It was a dream that I knew would have to wait a long time,until I got a job and then i got payed well and suddenly that dream was within my grasp.

A ticket to her show I knew would be expensive even if i just got nosebleed seats but I figured as long as i budgeted correctly I could do it!

I called my mom in excitement,telling her about my plan

She asks me "who are you going with?"

You see the thing about my mom was that my safety was always a major concern. I had to text her when i made it safe to work or else shed get worried something happened.

I truthfully replied to her that I was going to go by myself, as most of my friends were out of state and most likely wouldnt be able to spend the money to go to a concert and travel.

This troubled my mother, so she said "I'll go with you! Actually as an early birthday present (since i already got Christmas gifts for you) ill buy us both the tickets!"

I told her she didnt have to but she remained firm and eventually I said thank you and let her give me this gift. I was overjoyed and excited to finally go to a concert with my witchy punk mom.

Unfortunately, life had other plans. My mom had always had health issues and after my father passed,she pushed herself and they got worse. Then she moved to a harsher climate and things escalated.

I lost my mother in January, 3 months before our trip, and barely 2 months before my 26th birthday.

Its been...hard, unbelievably hard and devastating. But I had to keep going, what else could i do? As time has passed, its gotten easier, not easy but easier especially with my support system.

I was still planning on going to the concert, not only were there no refunds but my mom would have haunted my ass if i skipped it.

I tired to find someone to go with me! And many offered, but life and work made it difficult for anyone to be free (understandably)

I ended up going by self, sold the other ticket for 10 bucks the day of and saw Florence Welch live

I met my seat mates and they adopted me for the night as i cried through Shake it Out and Cosmic Love . We all huddled together in love and grief and had a wonderful night.

Id like to think my mom was somewhere there, in someway , experiencing Florences magic too.

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

[nattousan]

and now, the birds

Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus

[nattousan]

Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius

[nattousan]

hoo boy, ok *out of breath*

GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!

this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render

[nattousan]

speaking of obnoxious coverts:

bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata

the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it

[nattousan]

Madam....

[nattousan]

birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female

pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr

[nattousan]

*melts into goo*

BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus

genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??

nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)

💚Hey everyone, my name is Rosario Mercado and i'm a transmasc, Black/ Puerto Rican artist from Florida.

Recently i was fired from my job as a mobility scooter technician for the VA, with no warning or reason, and it has effected me pretty bad. i had been planning to save up to move out of Florida to escape the horrible racist/ anti trans legislation but that plan is on hold.

I've been trying to make art and sell prints but it takes a lot of time, and i'm not selling well enough to keep up with my car/grocery bill.

In the meantime, i am signed with an agent at Andrea Brown Literary Agency (ABLA) but i have not received any work yet.

My agent is Saritza Hernandez and her email is [email protected] if you have any inquiries and would like to use me for a project please reach out to her 🙏🏼

You may know me from some of these artworks

I sell prints on my website wittyworm.weebly.com if you'd like to support me by buying one.

or if you'd like to support me in a different way i also have

KOFI and PATREON

my patreon is visible to the public, subscription is optional but id really appreciate it.

i need to make $400 by the 1st of next month, and i'm going to try and make more art for yall, because i hate asking for money like this. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I also ask that you also please consider donating to the

AYYAD FAMILY they are a Palestinian family of 8, that i have been communicating with over this last year.

their situation is unbearable and any small donation helps.

THANK YOU 💚🍀
