people reposting art without credit and claiming it as their own..... 🥲
And if someone has any doubts! Here are my pictures, of my own monitor, with the frames and file names and my Celestia so you can see it's a real thing 😭
I got told I'm not the OG artist and that made me sad 🥲
The time is in CET!

What chat doesn't know is that I have work in the morning so every morning when I wake up and see new asks in my inbox I have to just stare at them and THINK about how I'm gonna draw to respond to them, not ACTUALLY draw and respond to them because I'm at work and it's hell on earth.

3 books to read when moving to a new city alone
Earlier this year, I moved out of my childhood home on the countryside to Berlin. Alone. With no money, no job and no safe place to stay. To pursue my dreams and escape the literal hell a small village with no artistic opportunities can be. Because the space in my suitcase was limited, I could only bring a few books. These are books I took with me into this new era of my life where I have felt so lost and lonely in the beginning.
Just Kids - Patti Smith
This book inspired me so much when I first read it. Patti, who is now one of the greatest female rock musicians in the world and played her music along some other legendary people, moved to New York City on her own when she was a teenager, having no money and no concrete plan. She even had to live on the streets for some periods, starving and desperatly working any job she could find. But through all this, she never lost her vision, her love for the arts. And she made it, met amazing people and slowly built up her life. There was so much struggle, despair and pain involved in her journey, which gives any young artist striving to get out there so much hope. Also Patti is a great writer, carefully arranging her words and pairing them with amazing visuals, like old pictures that make you feel like you are there with her, eating donuts and smoking cigarettes.
Looking for Alaska - John Green
John Green is a legend when it comes to writing about the mind and struggles of the average self concious teenager trying to fit into society´s standards. Looking for Alaska has been one of my favourite books for a long time. I have read it about 15 times and it gives me an enormous amount of comfort. Miles, the a weird and lonely teenage boy moves to another school, away from his parents and his home town, where he is confronted with strange characters and a whole new hierarchy. Sounds intimidating, right? He manages to find friends, fall in love, experience all the stunningly beautiful and dirty aspects of being a teenager. This book always reminds me that even if there is sadness and pain and grief, that should never stop me from acknowledging the small things that define life. To have gratitude and take it all in, the good and the bad. Coming of age is a challenge, but it is not something to avoid, it´s something that has to be felt.
The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger
I hated this book. It is extremely uncomfortable to read, I completely despised the main character Holden and his way of dealing with people around him. But still, to be fair, he is just a 16 year old jerk, trying to find some meaning in stagnant every day processes. Even though he is not very likeable, his desperate tries to do someting meaningful are heartbreaking, you feel like you are just wandering the cold streets with him. It is a story about alienation in a big city, feeling incredibly alone and excluded from society. When I was sitting in my new apartment on my own, with no one to talk to, I felt like Salinger describes the feelings you have in such a situation quite well. Loneliness just creeps up on you. And not always can a comforting word help with that, sometimes you need to hear the experience of a character who is just as lost in the world as you are. That is what Catcher in the Rye did for me.
...
Being alone can be so freeing and extremely enjoyable! But if you seek for some comfort, consider reading these books.
Have a wonderful day xx

Breaking news: local man not as good at the one thing he’s good at as he previously assumed he was. Identity crisis can be expected within an hour, more at 10.

I think it is time to actually study how BONES in a hand work, not just vague general rules, because not only I am bad at drawing hands, but I become worse and worse at it as time goes by
