I think the best analogy for how my brain works as a person with ADHD is a crayon box in a room full of children. One kid takes the purple, another takes the blue, two kids get in a fight over the orange, they both get suspended even though only one of them actually hit the other, and no matter what you do the box will never ever have all of the crayons in it and be organized in rainbow order the way you like. It’s very stressful and the only way to help it stop semipermanently is to get a teacher that beats the kids every time they take too many crayons.

hiii im a fairly new fan of the arctic monkeys and was scrolling through your blog, you mentioned in some tags the tbhc wasnt fully realized and was wondering what happened/what you meant by that if you dont mind me asking 🥺?

hi! it’s kind of a long story, but at the start of TBHC, the band was pretty committed to the “70s aesthetic” of it all, especially alex, who tends to take on a ‘persona’ during album eras. i don’t want to delve into too much, but he broke up with his then-girlfriend in 2018 after dating for three years and he shaved his head, removing himself from the “70s lounge singer” persona altogether by dressing differently too, which was pretty jarring to see throughout the rest of the tour in 2018/2019. i suppose from then on, everything felt off, like their hearts weren’t really in it as much as before, if that makes sense? 

you can also tell because they stopped making MVs afterwards. TBHC only got like... 2 music videos. it seemed like they were setting up an intricate storyline with them but it just dropped off after that, and there were rumours surrounding a third video for one point perspective but it never happened either

the album was such a special one with a really unique sound and theme, and it meant a lot to me and many others, so it was quite a bummer when it didn’t feel like it was fully realised at all by the end of the tour

hi there!! i really love ur art especially your coloring style and was wondering how you came about to developing it? its cool if you dont have an answer lol but i just find myself having such flat art, mostly in the textures and colors department and dont know how to break free of that and transition to a more painterly style like yours!!

Hey dude!! I’m so sorry for the long delay with responding to this!! But hmm that is a good question! I think somewhere great to start is using some variance when you’re putting initial colors with your brush tool! I’ll do it brushes that have a slight variance but then I’ll paint over with a multiply and soft light layer that add some more push and pull with colors! Variance is also a feature you can add to most brushes that kind of ‘jiggles’ the hue/tone of the color you’re using! I find it really helpful for jumpstarting some color ideas right off the bat! After that I paint over them, but having a variety of tones already laid out really helps!! Thank you for asking dude!! I appreciate the kind words and the question! <3
