Hey everyone! I'm putting this blog on a little break while I figure out which direction I'd like to take it in. See you after the holidays!

[leebrontide]

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

[leebrontide]

Allright if 20,000 people are going to post a story about a painting I did of my wife, then I am going to post the painting itself.

For those calling for justice, the same painting won a contest at my college (my university professor had met my model), and the university bought it from me and hung it up there for over a decade, square little feet and all. Then, the library underwent renovations and a librarian I am thankful for forever went through heroic measures to track me down again even though I'd gotten married and changed my name, and offered it back to me. And now it hangs in our house even though my wife doesn't ordinarily want to look at paintings of herself and I don't normally want to look at paintings I made. We both have a soft spot for this one.

Lmaoooooo I haven't been on this blog since April! Hi everybody! I hope everyone is doing well.

In my months of absense, a lot has changed for me. I graduated university, I started going to therapy, and I started doing art recreationally again!

The focus of this blog is changing a little bit too. I will still be taking writing commissuons but instead of only posting about my coms I will be posting my art and writing snippets!

As for the book I announced in March and never released: oops. I don't have an ETA on that but I will get back to it eventually!

Stay cool, everybody! I'm glad to be back :) 😎

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

Tips to starting a tumblr blog by a tumblr blog:

make tumblr blog

reblog shit and make shit posts

after a while the people and the website will choose what you are.

A far right Xtian extremist group in Aotearoa New Zealand has harassed and attacked multiple queer events as our country goes into its pride seasons.

A few of us have banded together to make an itch bundle to help fundraise for much needed money for security for pride events, so our communities don't have to rely on cops to protect us.

Get cool games here and help keep queer community events safe at the same time:

If I could leave no stars I would.

My husband and I booked this cute BnB for our wedding anniversary thinking it would be a nice place to spend a few nights. It's in the heart of downtown so the location is perfect because you can walk anywhere you want. Unfortunately, I just summed up everything positive about it.

We arrived at 3:00 PM pretty much on the dot because their website says check in is at 3:00 and we caught the early train into the city so we were killing time with all our bags until then. When we got there, the owner told us we were much too early. We apologized and said we could come back in half an hour and he started muttering under his breath. He gave us the key to our bedroom (and a pretty dirty look) and said we should have checked the website. (We did.)

The room didn't match the pictures very well. Instead of one queen-sized bed we found two twin beds, which was the critical difference. My husband went to ask about the bed situation while I looked around the room. Stapled (not taped) to the wall was a list of "house rules" which included the standard "no smoking" "no animals" etc. But also included things like "do not touch the thermostat" (it was set to 15°C in February) and "no rap music" (???) The rules also included "no food in the room" (strange, because the room had a microwave in it) and we soon found out the reason for that.

In my bedside drawer there was a wet towel and a can of beans. There were stains on the bedspread and the garbage can in the corner was absolutely full.

My husband asked the owner if the room we had booked was the same one as the photos because of the beds. He explained that since it was our wedding anniversary we did not really want to sleep in separate beds and asked if we were perhaps placed in the wrong room. The owner got angry at him and told him that if it were such a big deal we could shove the two beds together as long as we rearranged the furniture before we left.

By the time my husband came back I had found the ants.

There were several colonies of ants living in and around the garbage can, under the beds, and under the table with the microwave on it. It was absolutely disgusting, ants everywhere. We went back to the owner and told him about the problem and he replied that there were "no ants in his house" and even if there were it was because everyone had ants in that part of town.

We went back to the room for about ten minutes. We had a conversation and before we had a chance to decide we weren't staying the owner was at the door acusing us of trying to scam him out of a free night. My husband grabbed our bags and told him we weren't staying. He followed us all the way to the front door, the whole way telling us there were no ants and that everyone had ants, backk and forth, over and over.

We left. We still haven't seen our security deposit back and it's been a week since the incident.

If you're looking for a place to stay: two blocks away there’s a Quantity Inn with continental breakfast.
