This is at AUB (Arts University Bournemouth). Hold your educational institutions accountable for funding and platforming programs that support genocide. Boycott Stratasys. Flood their emails telling them to take accountability. Take action.
It is an unfortunate trend for colleges to silence the voices of their Pro Palestinian student body. We've seen it with Columbia University. Why aren't we holding these schools accountable?!?!
I realised I never posted my uni work from last year, and I think it’s pretty POG so I thought I’d share it. It’s lil based off surveys I did of other queer disabled ppl and what imagery we resonate with as a collective, inc the words: sot, little guy, feral, like water, creature & just passing through. I’ll let you guess which phrases inspired each image :^)
I remember that some time ago on twitter there was an artist who made a drawing of cowboy Gojo, and they got so much hate from people because she used a picture for reference…. and I was so confused,, because as artists we NEED references, we need to learn from somewhere, we have to learn how to observe and understand how things are.
Drawing something from memory doesn’t mean that you’re a better artist than someone who uses references😭
In fact, Caravaggio used something called “camera obscura” (cámara oscura en español, no sé si en inglés está correcto), where he basically traced what he was going to paint, there’s a documentary on youtube about it too.
So yeah, even Caravaggio used references and traced, it’s not the end of the world 😭
finished my portfolio for art school like 93% and immediately got sick :) i still need to finish 3 drawings and a sketchbook but the last 7 months of work are almost done this is surreal
I gave one etching to my dad and he realized Dropponon's face looks like a seraph and asked how I know what a seraph is and I didn't know how to explain to him that seraphs are a meme now
