[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “do not stand at my grave and weep” after the poem by mary elizabeth frye. the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

"I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood."

– Melissa Cox

"I'm homesick all the time," she said, still not looking at him "I just don't know where home is."

– Sarah Addison Allen, The Girl Who Chased the Moon

"I want to go home, but I don't know where it is."

– Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game

[fairydrowning]

"I want to go home. I will always want to go home. Even when I am at home I want to go home. But I'm not really thinking of a place, it's more that feeling of everything finally being over, of seeing the light in the windows of your house on a cold night, of being safe, the relief of leaving a party you're not enjoying, like when you felt sick at school and they sent you home, or when you got upset at a sleepover and they called your parents. I want my mam to come get me. I want to go home."

Sad finger guns

[teaboot]

People talk about the Unconventionally Attractive People and say that it's who you are that's the beautiful thing and try to make all these little traits our we don't admire into beauty, and I agree wholeheartedly,

But one thing I love so much is being told that something is unattractive, and believing that is true your whole life, and then finding someone with that trait who you love so much that you realize that it is beautiful, and it stays beautiful, and every time you come across it you are genuinely swayed where you stand.

A man I love has a large, crooked nose. woman I love has black hairs on her chin. A person I love has frequent breakouts. A woman I love is fat. A person I love has a speech impediment. A man I love has a tic.

Before I loved them, I might have nodded along and said that sure, these things are fine. These things could be beautiful, in theory, in a distant, abstract way. And I would have kept on seeing them, and not thinking much, and felt nothing.

Now, though, a snore heard two doors down puts my heart at ease. Pockmarks make my eyes wander and my face grow warm. I want to trace my fingers over moles and keloid scarring and draw little sketches of blown-out, faded tattoos. I want soft lighting and charcoal to capture rolls and a belly. I find I've become drawn to a stranger's stutter on the train.

I think that the idea that "beauty is only skin deep" and "It's what's inside that counts" is fine enough, but they're flawed sentiments because they fail to fully articulate how real beauty, the kind that makes hearts beat harder and mouths go dry, doesn't always come from you.

You don't need to do anything. You don't need to smooth out your wrinkles or flatter your figure or make your mind and body palatable for consumption.

Everything we are might be breathtaking to someone who has loved before, and that thought brings me so much hope and joy.

(I hope this is coherent, it's four in the morning and I just woke up out of a dead sleep feeling teary-eyed)

Every artist who sees this post should do the following:

- Watch the video.

- Follow the instructions

- Reblog

I can’t stress you enough about how important these exercises are for your drawing hand. You don’t wanna get CTS of Tendonitis and similar stuff that will prevent you from making art or even hold  a pencil.

[flatbear]

Okay, this guy is my HERO. I just did these exercises as I watched the video, and already my arms and hands feel better. I have a degenerative tendon disease that prevents my muscles, tendons and ligaments from retaining their elasticity, and so anything that maintains the health of my bendy parts is important.

I URGE YOU. Even if you don’t draw, do these several times a day. Even just sitting at a computer can do serious damage. My dad, who was a rugby player, a carpenter, and now a handyman, suffered from severe carpal tunnel syndrome, simply as a result of sitting at the computer at the end of the day to play a little solitaire. Don’t let it happen to you!

[xionbooty]

((Guys, I will reblog this like, 5 times a day just so you all will see this. This is REALLY helpful, and it’s quick and easy.))

[mercurialmalcontent]

Wow, these are REALLY helpful. And yes, this is not just good but IMPORTANT for more than artists — if you type a lot, play a lot of video games, do anything that requires lots of repetitive movements of your hands, wrists, and arms (gardening, sewing, factory work), these can help. Even if you don’t yet get pain these are a great preventative measure, because the damage builds up over time. Youth is no protection.

And like he says, you should feel a stretch, but don’t push it too far!

[keyblack-hl]

Signal boosting.  Guys, I just did this and holy cow do I feel incredibly light and limber in my arms.  Again, even if you don’t have any sort of disease, do this as a preventative measure.
