#is it a rest?

[that-bitchdanni]

oh god,,,,,, oh god

it’s all about the

you are the only one who saves yourself. the only one saving yourself. you pick yourself up and are that steady hand that keeps you above water

and yet

and yet you are also dragging g yourself back down. you are not who you are without weights. without memory with casualty without grief without horror without tragedy.

in le poids de soi-même you are given the picture of humanity. the picture of selflessness and hope for a better future. in front of the main courthouse at the edge of the river there stands a man with another in his arms. and the man is strong, but not without showing some effort, as it would not be without fatigue to accomplish such an act, as save a man from presumably drowning as we see here. and the other man, weak, weary; barely clinging in to his saviour. but then you look a little closer. at the men. at their face. and you see. you see their face is the same. for they are the same man. and what does it mean? to be both your own saviour and your own burden? to be the only thing you’re hanging on to and the only thing dragging you down. and what becomes of it? because we’ll you’re left in a paradox. to let go is death. dooming yourself eternally. but to hold on? to persist to struggle to endure incessantly and carry on? at what cost? at what end?

at that is life, is it not?

#i don’t know #i was thinking about art and statues and remembered my 11ty grade french project that decimated me #is it better to live or to die #to struggle and save or rest and never find out #is it a rest? #hamlet #oh god #anyways #these guys make me emotional #that’s what it’s all about!!!!! #carrying your fellow man!!!! #even if that fellow man is yourself #and if i am a burden to myself- so what! #to what end must i question existence #might get these fucks tattooed on me #might not #wanna see them irl one day tho #le poids de soi-même #got all the angles for you fucks #also don’t bother this at all i’m just angsty and it’s almost 5am and i have work in the morning >:(

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

#having a come to Jesus with myself about trying to work late #sleep is the only path to productivity. rest is the only thing that lets me get things done. #litany against not laying down

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

#talkin pasm #art advice #vintage art #the bottom 3 are #my art #but the rest is pulled from old comics :) #also you don't always need halftone or dot brushes to make vintage looking art! most vintage art is painted anyway

Ryan Gainer was a 15 year old Autistic Black boy who was shot and killed by police in California.

Ryan seemed to have been having a meltdown, he was holding a gardening tool, police were called to the house but they are refusing to release any body cam footage of the shooting and refusing to state how many times Ryan was shot, they failed to help him before the paramedics arrived.

After shooting him Ryan's family was then forced out of their home while the police rummaged through their house looking for any justifiable cause for shooting Ryan.

This is hardly the first time the San Bernardino police department has attacked or killed people having a mental health crisis.

Rest in Power Ryan.

STOP CALLING THE POLICE ON DISABLED AND MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE!
