I had to tell myself “stop ogling the beautiful priest this is a funeral” a couple times today.

#I liked the way she said my name when she was reading out the grandkids #whenever Norwegians say my name I think it’s much prettier than it actually is #we were talking after the service and I learned that she’s also an amateur actor #a fan of musical theatre #a painter #and a rule breaker! she hates rules! she’s a priest with tattoos who hates rules!#sadly she’s married to a man and has three kids why does the world hate me 😔

would never want to be a popular artist ever actually thw idea of my work being seen by large masses makes me want to scrub my account clean deactivate it and then get my GED and get a job and remove my identity from the internet

#i'm talking abt being like #a popular fan artist #i still wanna be an artist but id wanna be like #a painter #which is very #or sounds very out of reach rn #but id wanna do traditional art if i am ever going to be known by my art

gets good enough at drawing the OCs to have solid refs for commissions VS "well at this point i can just draw this myself" FIGHT!!

#last year: checking every artist profile for open comms #this year: oh i know what im gonna draw my ocs doing :) and DOES IT like whaaaat??#at this point i really do want to spend big money on someone with a completely different style from my own #a painter #but until i find that person i can try my own hand at it :>#sorry for yall reading the tags lol if u are expecting a hobby artist who always whines and cries about their art #hehhahah!!! wrong adress!!!!!! self love baby!!!! arrogance and hubris only!!!!

"when i had laid it on the floor i went to blow the fire a-flame, but something rustled on the floor, and someone called me by my name: it had become a glimmering girl with apple blossom in her hair who called me by my name and ran and faded through the brightening air" ... w.b. yeats

"can’t you hear that rooster crowin’? rabbit runnin’ down across the road underneath the bridge where the water flowed through so happy just to see you smile underneath the sky of blue" ... bob dylan

"though i am old with wandering through hollow lands and hilly lands, i will find out where she has gone, and kiss her lips and take her hands; and walk among long dappled grass, and pluck till time and times are done, the silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun" ... w.b. yeats

"al that is, is ... coveting your steak ... while endlessly chomping down my enormous, distasteful fish the portion never dwindling" ... al janik [in great debt here to my friend daniel tobin]
