I mostly hate how NON-OFFICIAL LGBTQ+ OFFICIAL CHARACTERS (especially has happy family,having kids & life story IN CANON EVENTS/STORYLINE) BEING ALTERED AS LGBTQ CHARACTERS;ESPECIALLY WITH OMEGA/TRANS/NON-BINARY BULLSHIT!

Example;Kung Lao (officially canon BIOLOGICAL MALE) BECOME PREGNANT WITH BI-HAN,LIU KANG'S KIDS IN ONE SOMEONE'S OMEGAVERSE LIKE HE'S A BREEDING MACHINE

a little artist rant

Tw im emotional after watching Look Back

I just watched the movie adaptation of Look Back by Fujimoto and I am trying not to ugly sob

I quit being an illustration major 3 years ago and I regret it every day. I am one semester away from finishing a degree in something I doubt will ever make me fulfilled in life. Yes I can draw in my spare time, but it feels almost like I’m limiting myself

I want to be better and I’ve been drawing constantly recently at the expense of my grades, but I can’t give up on my degree now. I’m almost done, one more semester…. All my money and time into something I’m passionate about but im afraid it’ll never make me happy.

Anywayyyyy go watch the movie or read the manga it’s phenomenal

I really want to succeed this remainder of the year with producing more artwork and taking commissions, but I’m struggling with something that I’ve always dealt with. I can only produce a certain amount of pictures. I can never just push out a bunch of artwork, I can only do one or two, if not three pieces. When I go to try to draw something (like today and yesterday) I end up feeling super exhausted, and aggravated that nothing comes out. I really hope I can resolve this cause I’ve been dealing with this for years.

Are your dreams a gilded cage?

Are your dreams a gilded cage?

The Dreamer’s Cage is the name of a particular topic I have taken on in my recent painting and drawing activity. I have included a few of these works below, in August I decided to do a name search on the word “dreamer’s cage” and interestingly enough only one relevant link came up to a poem written in 2012 by a blogger called Phoenix, who allowed me to reprint to poem in this blog.

People who say "oh I make art because I can." Have an immense privilege for many reasons. One. If you have free time to be making art and have the money to buy supplies/canvas you have privilege. People who constantly work and don't have time to do the thing they love because they can not financially support their passion is extremely difficult. Two. If you are doing art just to do it and do not have to do art because your hands burn and your soul screams because you are not making art, you are privileged. People who struggle emotionally because they need to express themselves with art and have no other way to do that struggle when they can not create. Saying, "Oh I'm just painting because I bored" separates art from the people who need it to survive not as something to do in their free time.

The Patriarchal God of Capital circa 2015

The Patriarchal God of Capital circa 2015

Work Strike, ink on paper, Napo B – Sheila Smith 1989

Observations and notes on the transparent God of capital or means to acquiring leverage with our lives. Who was I working for anyway,  I met along the way  the others on this earth walk, we recognized one another immediately, reduced to furniture  in the silence of work and toil.

In the battlefield of capital circa whatever or the deck of a…

Random shitty art! and proud of it!

So as an artist who works professionally. I must confess that I do still fear doing bad work. It has gotten to the point where I would just be discouraged from drawing and painting in general, of fear that I will "screw up" the current piece I am working on. This has caused me to have a major artists/creativity block keeping me from moving forward and thus making me feel depressed. So I decided to just paint random stuff, not expecting it to be great, and in fact embracing that it will be quite bad! It felt good letting myself off the hook of not having to create great portfolio pieces or commissions all the time. It feels nice to just do what I loved as a kid. Just doing art not caring how it turns out, if something good comes out, great! if not, all well. I found by doing these few pieces, I have become more bold with my work. Just embrace the bad art! :)
