Scored a short film on Newgrounds; this is the piece of music I recorded over the weekend. Recorded harp, drum and tambourine, and sequenced the rest.

I’m never going to draw again

If you followed me for my art, I think now’s the time you should stop.

It’s been a thankless job, with little to no support and no breakthroughs whatsoever.

And so, yeah, people are going to say “keep trying, you’ll get there eventually.” I’ve been trying all my life. Losing every competition, being shunned for other artistic endeavours. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of pouring out my soul through visual art when no one gives a shit.

Today marks 10 years, temporally, since my Confirmation

I wonder what has changed.

I feel I’m still in need to look over my shoulder in case someone who hated me wanted me out or wanted to abuse me.

I’m still struggling.

But I know there is a light, and that light always leads me to Christ.

Every time someone is offended I’m prolife I remember all the times that family, past boyfriend, my abuser, teachers, physicians, shamed me and pressured me to abort my children through the entire duration of my pregnancy, sobbing in isolation because I was rejected and hated by people I love and trusted simply because I chose to keep my child.

The second someone can’t use you for their political leverage on this site you’re disposable garbage and really makes me sick. I’ve seen posts about women hive just had abortions on this site and all I’ve done is message them and ask them if they were okay. Privately I prayed for them. Never did I harass them or shame them.

Let me make this clear for everyone, you do NOT get to use disabled women, raped and abused women, life threatening pregnancies, and having a disabled child, as a tool for your abortion argument because you do not have a monopoly on that. Women like me suffer humiliation even from physicians thanks to people like you who think a pregnancy should be terminated due to the situations above. You’re personal story is your own, but stop using the above examples as the “pro choice argument” for people who DONT EVER KEEP THEIR BABY. Because I DID, 4 TIMES.

My choice wasn’t valid to you because you can’t use it as a tool, that’s not prochoice, that’s disgusting.

“do NOT get to use disabled women, raped and abused women, life threatening pregnancies, and having a disabled child, as a tool for your abortion argument because you do not have a monopoly on that.” As a disabled woman this really resonates with me. I am not your justification for murder. You don’t get to speak for me. @alwaysabeautifullife said it wonderfully.

How can we say that the Church wishes to bring us back into the Dark Ages? The Church was the only thing that ever brought us out of them.

G.K. Chesterton (via existential-saint)

Universities, hospitals and music theory as we know it came from that same Church which people have been trying to condemn.

This Just In: Famous Director Releases New Planned Parenthood Ad and Here's How it's Really, Really Manipulative - Save the Storks

Yesterday, Joss Whedon, Hollywood director and writer, released a dramatic short film on YouTube, entitled ‘UNLOCKED,’ showing what the world would be like without Planned Parenthood. The video’s description reads, “‘UNLOCKED’ highlights the vital role Planned Parenthood health centers play in the lives of millions of women in communities nationwide. The video follows three different...

“Essentially, Whedon is attempting to show that society would be in shambles if Planned Parenthood’s doors were closed. So many people, including Whedon, have bought into the lie that Planned Parenthood is necessary, and namely, that the organization does so much more than provide 300,000 abortions every single year.”

THIS PART MADE ME THE MOST ANGRY:

The video shows a young woman who is pregnant, holding a scholarship letter in her hand. She puts it down on the coffee table, leans back and touches her pregnant belly, believing Planned Parenthood’s lie that having a baby is the end of her life.

This is one of the most harmful narratives pushed by Planned Parenthood and its team of celebrity ambassadors. Everyday, an organization that claims to be all about female empowerment, tells women that they are not strong enough to be mothers and pursue their dreams. This is the opposite of female empowerment.

Stop lying to women. Stop preventing women from knowing resources that can support them. Stop erasing women like me who are mothers and work to achieve their dreams.

My fiancé Seán and I went exploring a location to record my next music video. There’s quite a bit of walking, talking, inspecting, imagining and drum beating.

THIS IS WHY I NEVER WANTED TO DO LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE

A drawing I finished today; see on Newgrounds for full description. I’m not about to type the harrowing paragraphs that I typed there.

When men talk of women and girls in terms of legal/not legal, what they’re really saying is “I already sexually objectify this child and would attempt to fuck her if there were no laws in the way.”

You can’t deny that is fucking scary.

Sometimes there are things that just sort of vaguely seem wrong, but you can’t put your finger on why…until it’s worded like this, and suddenly everything slides into place and you feel like someone punched you in the gut.

[succubusvenus]

I’m leaving this here, just in case anyone needed a written explanation for why this way of thinking is creepy and predatory as fuck.

Leave underage people alone, you perverts. You’re the adult; act like it.

this; also, when women talk about men/boys this way

Dear all,

This is a track of mine which has just been released.

I actually wrote this five years ago, as part of the 2012 Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch, but at my fiancé Seán’s behest, I rewrote it to exorcise some demons of mine.

Link to the lyrics, for those of you who are curious about what they are.

Progress shots for that Final Form drawing. Jazza’s Challenge of the Month has a rule where people must upload progress shots, in the form of images or video, to prove that this is their original work. I have had a few TIF files of this work and so, I gathered together whatever layers I had separately in the past. So, for transparency’s sake, here they all are.

[troisnyx]

Entered this for Jazza’s Challenge of the Month, as one final hurrah after having not been able to catch a single break for 11 years.

I enjoyed drawing this, and poured myself into it, even staying up until 4:30 in the morning to finish this. Oh but guess what, nobody’s gonna fucking care anyway.

Yaaaay...

A facepaint idea I came up with about four days ago. Really looking forward to seeing it in practice. This is meant to be for a music video of sorts.

[See the piece on Newgrounds]

The title of this piece is the original name of the C-shaped time signature which we equate with 4/4, or common time. Yes, the C is actually a holdover from 700+ years ago. In those days, during the development of written beat and measure, they used a full circle (O) to denote 3/4 or any division of time by 3, which they called "tempus perfectus." So naturally, "tempus imperfectus" refers to divisions of time by 2 or 4. They used a half-circle, which we denote as a C.

This drawing is actually an album cover idea I had in early December last year -- which I hope to use one day when I make my own takes on medieval songs and hymns. I have my voice, a recorder, a harp and a drum (the exact same one as in the drawing, I might add), to use as instruments befitting the period. One day... I hope...

Sketchbook as always. I spent this afternoon just drawing and finishing this, and I'm glad to share it with all of you.
