The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost. He was almost in love. She was almost good for him. He almost stopped her. She almost waited. He almost lived. They almost made it.
Tiny Stories by Nikita Gill (via untamedunwanted)
to other mentally ill artists who are obsessed with getting better
- Finished Pieces TM are NOT the only works that matter. That half-lined sketch is good. That page of nothing but shapes and doodles is progress. If you’re doing whatever it is that you CAN do that day, you’re doing well
- take. BREAKS. as often as you need to. stop when you gotta. if you try to dig into tomorrow’s spoons to finish something, trust me, you’re going to hate yourself and whatever you’re working on later
- if you really want to, you CAN draw (or paint, or sculpt, or craft etc.) every day
- everything counts. everything. can’t draw for more than 20 minutes today? you drew. less than 5? you drew. take a pencil and draw three different circles on a sticky note. you drew. lay out your arm and trace whatever comes to mind with you finger. everything counts.
- if you drew SOMETHING today, you gained more experience than someone who did not
- draw whatever you want
- reward yourself for it
- don’t get so wrapped up in something that you forget to eat, drink water or sleep please. if you can’t make yourself care about what it does to your body, remember it WILL affect your productivity, which will lead to Bad Times, again, trust me
- you are SOMEONE’S art goals
- your art is good
- “this person doesn’t know me or my art, how do they know it’s good-” shh. doesn’t matter. its good

Sculptor Sophie Prestigiacomo reflects our ongoing and tense dialogue with nature with her swamp creatures in the Marshes Nature Reserve of Séné in the Gulf of Morbihan in France. It began with two mysterious beings a few years ago, and after they departed, a recent crowdfunding campaign to bring eight total to the reserve. More on HiFructose.com.

Ready to take action? Good! We only have until Dec. 19th when the members of the Electoral College meet to cast their votes. Our Attorneys General need to ACT NOW and we NEED TO MAKE THEM!
WHO TO CALL:
Contact your Attorney General immediately! And daily, if you can. Find their info here: http://www.naag.org/naag/attorneys-general/whos-my-ag.php. That will give you your state’s Attorney General’s name and main number. Call them and leave a message. Then, call some of their local offices! It’ll be easier to talk to actual people that way. Making connections with staff is important! To get those local office numbers, just Google your AG’s name and “offices.” Easy peasy!
WHAT TO SAY:
Hello, my name is __________ and I’m calling to request that Attorney General __________ challenge the ‘winner take all’ rule for allocating electoral votes. The ‘WTA’ system is NOT mandated by the Constitution and it’s time to challenge it. Please stand up to this unconstitutional inequality and represent the millions of voters who disenfranchised or effectively diluted by this unfair state rule. Thank you!
Done?
Good job! You’re the best!!
Next Steps:
We’re planning some actions that involve visiting the AGs offices in person; if you’re interested in getting involved, fill out this quick form!
Share this with everyone you know – via Twitter! Facebook! Email! Messenger pigeon! Just kidding on the last one; that would be bonkers! – and think of creative ways to make the Attorneys General pay attention! Stop by their offices! Organize a gathering! Make it happen!!

Art Supply Review Mini-Masterpost
Hello friends, I know many of you want to spend your money carefully on your art materials, so I wanted to share with you sites that offer detailed reviews.
I also am working on that art social media account post, but I might need until after my finals…
http://www.parkablogs.com/ Amazing site that contains thorough reviews for all kinds of artists, including digital artists (very nice tech reviews!). Support them on Patreon!
http://www.creativebloq.com/reviews - brief at times, but good for quick reviews on art software
http://robs-art-supply-reviews.blogspot.com/ hasn’t been updated since 2015, but still is a fantastic resource for traditional art material reviews.
http://brokeforart.tumblr.com/ - a lovely tumblr
http://www.wellappointeddesk.com/- mainly for pen and ink, but good detail
https://doodlewash.com/ - geared towards watercolor, very nice
Or ask on art forums such as deviantart.com / reddit.com
Hopefully that helped! If you liked this post, please consider following my art and photography account @astrikos or reblogging this to spread the word. Thanks for looking, I appreciate the support! - Ali

More than anything, I want people to know that THESE PAINTINGS EXIST. Also, these two were painted in England and Ireland centuries ago; they’re not modern “re-imagined” paintings.
[Robert Home; Portrait of a Malay Woman. England (c. 1770–1788) Oil on canvas, 92 x 75 cm. The Royal College of Surgeons of England Collection]
[Daniel Maclise; Othello and Desdemona. Ireland (1859)Oil on Canvas, 25.5 x 30.5"]
Don’t get me wrong, I adore re-imagined works of contemporary art, and love it when artists like Kehinde Wiley and S. Ross Browne use these tropes and conventions to push boundaries and make statements.
But please, always try to post as much information as you can about the artworks, so that artists of color living today get credit and get PAID, and so that works that are centuries old get their spotlight after too long collecting dust and indifference. There are thousands of European historical artworks that feature many different People of Color represented in EVERY facet of society.
