#anti damon albarn

[terracottahearted]

Damon's love and support of black music and artists sets the standard for other white artists. He uses his privilege and platform to uplift marginalized voices without once taking credit from those artists. 2/3rds of Gorillaz collaborators are POC. In 1993 Damon called mainstream rock racist. Saying that it ignore the black creators of it in favor of white artists. Called it xenophobic and anti black. He refused to play LiveAid because of a lack of black artists. Attention white musicians with huge platforms, this is how you be anti racist. Privilege used for good.

#damon albarn #gorillaz #anti anxiety song go brr #i’m so high onsgkajd #this song always saves me from freaking out #and having panic attacks #sry lol

this shit haunts me even if they're joking damon albarn fans think hes a gay icon for his anti sex anthem when in reality he was accusing someone who identified themselves as bisexual of dangerously confusing young people about their sexuality for simply existing androgynously

It brings me so much joy seeing an artist I've enjoyed my entire life who is so openly pro trans, worth noting he also boycotts Israel and an open anti-Zionist.

my guess is many many people w/o a single clue who damon albarn is clicked keep reading (disregarding your clear wall of text warning) out of morbid curiosity and was pissed by just how long it was. and to express that annoyance started throwing around very outlandish claims of "worshipping at the altar of white supremacy" because this is tumblr lol. and this is coming from a lauryn enjoyer & anti-albarnist

gosh this site really has to work on their method of expressing anger

Like I get the annoyance, I get the displeasure, but surely there's a better way to express irritation at a poll than calling it white supremacy? Oh Tumblr.

two things. one, your art is absolutely wonderful. i love the warm tones and style. two. got any like. weird art tips. like just weird things you do that work really well. or just art tips in general lol. there's something bout your style that makes me go ':D' lmao

aaaaaa tysm !!!! very glad u like my style <33 means a lot

and yeah id say i have quite a few with the way im very experimental n passionate abt art !

>> i think my weirdest one is rly just the main way i render tbh ? like, as u can pretty easily see with my main art style is that its all very crunchy n pixelated, n thats all cause i have anti-aliasing off for my brush . i render in a pretty unorthodox way but it makes things so so so much easier and more fun for me, even if its more time consuming for several reasons

heres a little bit of an infographic ive whipped up that hopefully u can get smth out of lmao . its 6am ive been up all night drawing as usual so im having a lot of trouble doing things properly sorry sorry

and the funny thing is this is aaaaaaaaall just cause i hate blending and am scared of committing to things (esp colors) so i just decided "okay whatever im gonna be goofy and just make it all pixelated idc anymore" and it worked !! (thanks homestuck) art is sm more enjoyable since i started doing this as it fits perfectly with the way my brain works and its helped me sm with getting better at colors bc of the way i have to do every single color manually (for several reasons like how i have to keep track of every color ((which makes me recycle them a lot more making things look more united)), gradients r the most fun to do but i have to make sure all the colors "blend" together nicely, i get to change them super easily, etc etc)

however these days i HAVE been trying to get back into working with anti-aliased brushes just to get out of my comfort zone n such, but tbh the only thing its helped me with is remind me how much more fun drawing aliased is and how absolutely dogshit i am at blending FDJHJKDF

also it makes me better at minecraft skins since im so used to working with pixels !

>> another little weird thing i have that honestly just goes against basic art rules is experiment by having ur values be as close together as possible without losing contrast . this is horrible as a tip, but fun as an experiment, and for me its just fun since i already know pretty well how values work and have enough experience to break the "rules" - because lot of times good shading colors r actually lighter than the original when put under b&w

so if ur like me i would recommend trying it out ! if u dont even know what values are then this ISNT good for u, do values properly as they really help

>> if u struggle a lot with side profiles, just learn from the gorillaz demon days album art . like literally im not joking that is THE thing that made me learn to draw side profiles and id say im pretty good at them now (however the effectiveness of this probably depends on the style)

and by learn from it i mean u can just trace it with any other characters, or study it, or reference it, yadaydayada . just do wahtever with it, damon albarn dgaf

obviously this isnt gonna magically make u great at side profiles but if u want a fun art challenge or ur a big gorillaz fan like me, it could get u kickstarted !!!! especially if ur doing it with ocs or characters u like that are in a band or something

ok thats all the tips ill be giving out tonight im a little sickly victorian child rn

hope it helped . uhm . bye

you’re actively endorsing and enabling damon albarns horribly destructive anti addict 90s sentiments towards brett anderson. I’m joking but it was oh so fucked up. possibly the most actual fucked up thing out of all of the britpop bullshit. like that one actually was harmful is the thing. unlike when someone like nicky or noel was hyperbolically mouthy.

[lipstick0ntheglass]

people being completely blind to their fav being maybe not a perfect person is so jarring like yes damon albarn was sexist when he was younger and yes HE CHOSE to take heroin, believing that a 27 YEAR OLD GROWN MAN who is probably very adamant in being individual was peer pressured or coerced into taking drugs by justine is actually so anti any thought it’s insane

#they were both in an open relationship aswell if she was ‘cheating’ so was he and it’s very well documented that he was and was proud of it #they literally had blurjob passes like🤦‍♂️ #blur #damon albarn

[vampirologist]

I was just a kid listening to blur in my teens and look at me now in my twenties on tumblr. they need to make anti blur ads like anti drug ads. like this is your mind on blur: hysteria, damon albarn omegaverse speculating, LUST

[terracottahearted]

Saw someone on YouTube compare Damon Albarn to Eric Clapton… last I checked Damon isn’t a racist anti vax bigot

#anyways #why are we pretending Erics stuff is good? #damon albarn #txt

i think that damon albarn/taylor swift ‘drama’ is so fuckinh funny bc for taylor n swifties i hate that word it was done and over with within like a week i haven’t thought about it since it happened tbh meanwhile taylor antis are still talking about it and have somehow convinced themselves it was a full on feud and not just a couple tweets

#like……okay fan behaviour if you ask me……. #en

damon albarn's kurt cobain quote is so twisted when you imagine him sitting there like he just had to go and kill himself when I release my synth pop anti sex anthem

[abetterscarletletter]

“Reduced to clickbait” MY ASS. Tell me exactly how this isn’t discrediting one of the greatest and most awarded songwriters of this century, not to mention pitting two successful and talented women against each other for no reason.

Re: the Thom discourse, I offer this relevant Damon propaganda, or anti-propaganda depending on your sense of humor, in the form of the funniest quote I've ever read

The '90s music alternate universe is expanding: first we have the "if In Utero and Live Through This were swapped", now we have the "if Thom Yorke and Damon Albarn were swapped". It's a wild world.

the only thing i praise swifties for in the worst ways ever is how easily can manipulate massive crowds into their cesspool of mass hysteria.

I hate damon albarn so much that I do think what he said about taylor swift was misogynist. when noel said the same thing but worse though he was right and anti-capitalist and pro-working-class-artist even.
