#locally sourced art

[butterfly-winx]

I was preparing the process video for the rest of the girls and I couldn’t help myself. Instead of finally finishing Tecna I re-did Stella, because there were so many things bugging me on the first version. So, enjoy!

He printed beautifully on the textured paper 🌿 I'm shipping this week's orders tomorrow, if you'd like to grab one before then! ♡

#thank you everyone who has ordered something. my art being in peoples homes makes my heart swell with joy.. #i have exactly 2 sheets of the pressed flower petal paper btw! #im doing my best to try and get more #but its a local shop in my home city (that im currently living away from u_u) and they dont ship that paper.. #i dont want to look for alternatives online either since id prefer to source locally and support them ♡ #so my next trip home im going to stock up

As a disabled person who has a hard time drawing half the time I think anyone who defends AI art saying it's accessible to disabled people should fuck off

#text #and then using self checkout as an example of like. #'if you're against ai then you should be against this thing that steals jobs!' #'you don't value caahiers as real people and put art over them!' #like they use that as some weird gotcha #look I don't have an issue with AI art that is sourced with permission #and the person who used the generator is honest about it being that #like if you use Adobe firefly which uses its own stock library then w/e #but the moment you use ai that is trained without consent of artists #and put people out of jobs at the same time #then fuck off #also as a note for self checkout #i personally find it to be an accessible option of checking out #like for example people who can't speak the local language have an option #and also people with social anxiety #but I do not like it when every register is replaced with self checkout #i do think that it should be an option though #anyway that's my rant as an artist lol

Mini game for myself while watching lovecraft letter: how far in the video will I go until I stumble upon a lovecraft reference that I don't know :)

#no rolls barred #technically failed at hounds of tindalos because I have only seen art of it but i dont actually know the lore #also technically the trapezohedron? I have encountered it in CoC games if that count. Ik its a nyarlathotep situation :) #ive not read the source stories tho so whatever #im counting that myself #anyway tis was good fun for me (local lovecraftian nerd) lol

White Boomer/Gen X clients when you politely ask them to pay you a reasonable amount or forego your services

#Local small business grandma just sent me a seething email bc I dared to estimate around $200 for logo and business card designs #/around/ $200. specifically $10/hr. for several digital mockups and unlimited revisions and final designs she could use in perpetuity. #I resisted the urge to send her links to sites placing $200 on the lowest end of freelance business card designs #and the related urge to slowly explain the difference between original art and the dubiously sourced clip art shit she sells people #and the completely separate urge to just call her a nasty cunt. unfortunately she does personally know my mom #So I was nice :) #who am I to tone police a hardworking bleach blonde all-American 50-70 year old teenage girl? #gif #Kumari abuses the tagging system #Kumari procrastinates irl

You have the right to like your Angbang intense. You have the right to like your Angbang fucked up. You have the right to like your Angbang unhinged. You have the right to like your Angbang harmful. But you also have a right to like your Angbang fluffy, too. You are not woobifying them if you like it soft or write a fic where they say they love each other or kiss or high five or take a bite from the same sandwich or whatever. You have a different interpretation, that’s all. You’re not committing some horrid unforgivable atrocity against your fandom. You’re not an “annoying fan” if you want your ships happy, even if other people dislike you for it, the same way you are not an “annoying fan” if you like your ships intense and other people dislike you for it. You’re not a mean person for having an opinion that the majority dislikes. You’re an individual human being who has an opinion and your opinion is worth JUST as much as every other opinion in your fandom. Because that’s how opinions work. You’re not disregarding canon any more than people who bend it to fit their other non-canon ships or headcanons or other interpretations of this ship or their interpretation of any other ship or anything else that JRRT or Christopher or the Tolkien estate disagree with. We all see a piece of media and interpret it differently. It doesn’t make any of us better or worse for it. Ship and let ship. 

#Can the #Silmarillion #fandom stop being hostile towards different depictions of their own ships #for five minutes? #Yeah another post about #angbang #Remember how the Tolkien estate was FURIOUS with the LOTR trilogy for the changes that were made? #Remember how millions of people still saw the films and fell in love with LOTR and Middle Earth and the very concept of fantasy regardless? #Children who never saw another LOTR adaptation prior and adults who remember the Bakshi version& their localized low-budget tv adaptations #all saw it and agreed that a story made with so much love still deserves to be told even if there were changes made to the source material #If a story or a headcanon or an opinion about a ship or a fanwork or an interpretation is made with love to bring people joy... #it has the right to be shared #even if those people aren't the majority by the way #Did Jackson woobify Aragorn by giving him extra angst? If so.. where are all the takes about bad fans liking woobified angsty movie Aragorn? #Remember the times before the 2-3 artists who often drew supportive angbang left when people kept giving them crap for their depictions? #And now you don't see that art anymore either on tumblr or at all. Does that make anyone happy? did anyone accomplish their goals? #Why make people leave again? Do you hate differing opinions so much that they do not deserve the right to exist? #Does it genuinely make anyone happy to try rid a fandom of all ideas they disagree with them their preexisting friends' ones? Why? #I'm so old I still remember when it was common fandom etiquette to NOT tag the thing you were insulting without the word 'anti' before it. #...Do I need to keep going or can we ship and let ship now and NOT mock people for having a different take on a FICTIONAL pairing?

silver gilt filigree and enamel fan, depicting phoenixes with foliage and flowers, and the moon among clouds. (late) qing dynasty, 19th century.

#china #qing dynasty #late qing dynasty #decorative arts #museum trawling #image source: metropolitan museum of art #a lot of these filigree/openwork fans give the feeling of being made for export #but the phoenixes on this one make me suspect it was for the local market #(the late qing is generally recognized as 1875-1910; i always hesitate a bit classifying '19th century' items one way or the other)

hubris is thinking ill be able to properly stencil this onto a shirt for a concert that is in TWO WEEKS

#i mean sure its like a days worth of work maybe two if i get stupid with it but like this will be a BITCH to cut a stencil out for #anyways i wanted to have a depeche mode shirt for the concert and ofc whats a better way to strike up a convo w concertgoers #than making your own merch <333 anyways the vibe i was going for was like. something kinda classic but mixed with the memento mori aestheti #hence the wings. which are sourced from a pair of disembodied pigeon wings i saw on the pavement in front of the local supermarket #piksla.txt #depeche mode #my art

tbh I'm considering opening up a Patreon Mostly bc the number one way to wrangle my ADHD brain into doing something is to have an actual deadline to do it by but also bc i feel like it would be a great way for me to be able to offer cheaper (sketch) comms/monthly request type things and post full speed paints.

Besides the cheaper comms and some polls I don't suspect a lot would change about this blog, progress updates would be posted to both sites and while Patreon would get to see the final piece in its full uncompressed glory, the paintings would still be posted here at the same time they are there.

and maybe down the road a print club would be possible. with tiers based on the size of print received.

Which, tbh, the tier idea is only appealing to me bc my friend got nice glossy business cards a few days ago and the idea of offering Really mini prints on a business cards as a monthly Patreon reward is just, Exceptionally funny to me. I Will package it as though it's a real print, cardboard protection slip and everything.

#tbh i haven't done the math yet or much research but im hoping to have the max tier be around 5usd a month #however if itll let me make a tier 4.20 thats what im doing #like on the print front #this is all assuming i get my shit together and start making art worth making prints of #and the prints made for the print of the month club thing would be available for purchase by anyone the next month #they might be slightly more expensive tho depending on if i have to use smthn like inprint to distribute them instead of buying a few fr #a local print shop to ship out with a thank you note n such #ill do what i can to keep costs to a minimum for every option tho bc like #im not looking to make this a Income source im looking to have my crippling fear and guilt about money override my adhd #but i still dont want to be in the red on this ya know?
