The Colorblock Curator

Art & Art History

[thecolorblockcurator]

Thought I’d make a little pinned post again.

I’m Wes, I’ve had this blog for like 14 years now. Which is wild to think about.

I studied as an art historian & worked in the museum field for little bit it wasn’t for me. I was an illustrator for 10+ years. Now I’m working as a psychic medium & hypnotherapist! & occasional give free one card tarot readings here & talk about my business.

Some of my other tumblrs: @quiet-curiosity, @curiosity-spirit, @rosehips-daydreams @celestialvintaged @writing-moodboard

My assumption is you had a horse girl phase as a child

I did not - I was very afraid of horses. I did get like a one day riding class as a 11 year old and screamed and cried the whole time. because I was and am terrified of heights. But as a little kid I loved unicorns. My favorite stuffed animal was one. I still love them - I share a lot of unicorn art so I can get the assumption.

Assumption: You love apple juice 🧃

I do like juice in general - But I really like mango, or passion fruit, or like raspberry lemonade more than apple juice. But I love hot apple cider - Now I want it to be autumn.

I do- I just got some new ones that I'm still getting used to after having the same frames for nearly 4 years. Every time I pass by a mirror I'm like - something is different. Old glasses vs New on the right

Feeling like chatting today so let’s do an ask game

Send me an ask with either: a random assumption you have about me & I’ll tell you if you’re right or not

or if you don’t have any assumptions ask some random questions!

Bonus points if it’s a question I’ve never received before in my 14 years of running this blog.
