i went to see cable street yesterday and i loved it! i had to draw something for it!! i really enjoyed how it explores multiple perspectives on facism, namely how extremists exploit working class people, violence in response to oppression and the role of art in politics. this being said, you‘ll understand my frustration at the show (i’m 99% sure) using AI generated imagery for its promotional material. it saddens me that the message of proletariat liberation does not seem to extend to that of artists. we’re workers too!

communism directly contradicts AI - stealing from artists to produce pastiches of our hard work is just about the most capitalist thing i can think of and i implore the team behind cable street to reconsider their choices and hire a real artist next time!

that aside, i was so impressed by this cast, their skill and ability to switch roles and accents quickly! if i had two nickels for everytime i’ve seen isaac gryn play a jewish boxer, id only have two nickels but it’s strange it happed twice! haha so great to see him again after the book thief! i would lovvee to see him play a really gritty orpheus! i also saw annie in the great comet so it was nice to see her in a larger role! we were also treated to a bunch of covers who were absolutely incredible!! notably aoife mcnamara covering mairead who was amazing!

i definitely recommend checking cable street out soon before it ends soon! its messages and themes are unfortunately ever-relevant and i left feeling inspired and motivated. my biggest takeaways are - hire real artists, fight for what u believe in and fuck fascism!

dylmonda orphydice ! <3 it’s been such a privilege to watched these two shine and grow in these roles. we’ve been so lucky to have them in hadestown for a year and a half and a year (respectively hehe). i know i, and the rest of the hadestown west end fan base will miss them immensely. the show just won’t be the same without their chemistry, desmonda’s heartbreaking acting, insane vocals and dylan’s inherent orpheus-ness and charm. thank you for everything you’ve given to this show. you’ve brought me so much joy and comfort during your runs. i can’t wait to see what you’ll do next and sing it once last time with this cast in march 💔 prints of this will be available asap! i hope u like it, i worked on this for 30 hours and STrugglED but i can’t actually believe i got it finished before cast change whattt (me: 1 ADHD: 0 lol)i had to keep persevering to capture my love of them in these roles! we must keep trying even when things are tough! is that not the whole point of hadestown? <3

jack + morgan as orpheus and eurydice i finished my painting yay! i think it came out really cool, i worked very hard on it!! do u like the lyre constellation projected on their faces? by complete chance it lined up pretty perfectly with their pose which i thought was really sweet! i spent around 25 hours on this which is the longest i’ve ever spent on a digital painting ah! i can’t wait to get prints made as soon as possible of it!! hope u love it and see all the various influences like preraphaelite and ignorant design and my own style coming through :’) i’ve loved seeing these two together online and i hope i’m lucky enough to see them in these roles irl one day! i hope they’re having the best time and enjoy the rest of their runs!!

It took me some time but I think I finally figured out what helps me stay happy with my art and what works and doesn't work for me so I have some tips that may be obvious to some but maybe helpful to others in case you ever felt unhappy with your art:

I often felt stuck in my own art style as it was too polished and restrictive in some ways. I felt the need to finish my drawings in a specific way to keep them consistent and it became the pattern that was taking away all the joy of creating new art for me so now I try to have a little bit more fun with what brush I use, how I use it, with how I do lineart (sometimes I don't) and how I render

I experiment with different brushes instead of only using one and the same all the time so my brain doesn't feel like it's in a cage

with each drawing I feel like I work against time as I get bored with what I draw quite fast and as my current interests change pretty often. I must finish drawings quickly but my perfectionism doesn't allow it since every drawing I make still NEEDS to be perfect and it only brings me more stress so I need to remind myself that

SKETCH IS A FINISHED DRAWING!

I don't need to make a perfect line art, the coloring doesn't have to be on point every time, as long as I had fun drawing something and I'm happy with the end result that's all that really matters

warming up before drawing makes a big difference so draw some lines and circles

taking breaks is important, if you don't feel like drawing don't push yourself because that will only make things worse and you'll feel more tired and art blocked

and if you really feel like you want to draw but feel stuck/uninspired - start small with a simple sketch in a sketchbook or some doodles on a piece of paper

no step forward is too small

so don't be so harsh on yourself!
