once someone's massive terracotta piece exploded in the kiln (it was generally accepted that this just happened sometimes, and anyone whose work was destroyed by a kiln explosion got a conceded pass). i had a cup-shaped object that was one of the few that survived, having been shielded by someone else's larger thing, and when i picked it up off the shelf and tipped it upside down a stream of incredibly fine bright red pulverised terracotta dust poured out like blood

Honestly I'm sad I didn't get any formal art training but also happy because the stuff I hear about some school settings is kind of terrifying, beyond the fact my family is way too poor to have afforded it in the first place. That last statement shouldn't even be a factor but hey that's just how it be in the US I guess. More work on Jerk the Sherk. I've managed to get the sleeves of his jacket figured out as well as how i'm going to sew his hands onto them. I sadly forgot to bring the rest of my materials today so I didn't get to try and start on his body. overall though the experiments with making his jacket have so far worked out okay, even if I'm using Vinyl instead of leather for it. The big thing I'll have to do though is make sure I fill these things with stuffing before I do literally anything else, otherwise i may not be able to at all because of how complicated his arms have turned out. I'm also unsure what kind of material I should use for his teeth, as the other stuff I bought for that was far too squishy and took forever to form back to their shape. I'll have more ability to do things as I go along, but at the moment I'm having to keep my pinkie finger on my right hand splinted due to some tendon issue that's cropped up.  Also have a Tobi. he's the pupper that hangs out at the art studio with the owner of the place. best boy! Diabetes Forecast fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Aug 15, 2019 |

I'm selling this new kind of holistic water where all the effect is thought-induced into the water. I shake the bottle vigorously while thinking real hard about benign energies. I then dilute this water one million times, thus increasing its potency. It cures everything. It will cure your dead. It's 100 bux a bottle.

I’m entering my biannual I Should Try Painting Again mood. Please send help, tell me all the terrible things about painting. Like brushes. Brushes are terrible.

I get those too! gently caress brushes, gently caress cleaning them, gently caress them going out of shape. gently caress mixing paints, gently caress not making enough, or using waaaay too much expensive paint, and gently caress it drying before I'm done. gently caress easels, gently caress them coming loose and wobbling around and poo poo, and the painting falling off. I should try it again soon.

gently caress looking at an unfinished painting, thinking "I should finish that" every time it catches your eye for weeks on end until you're ready to either finish it or admit defeat.

There are things I want to draw and things I should be drawing. There are too many things I SHOULD be drawing, therefore every time I think about drawing what I wanna drawn, I feel guilty that I'm not drawing from the Should pile. Then I play video games instead. I'm gonna need to face the Should Pile this week before my friend gets antsy. She probably is already, since I turned down the opportunity to design another batch of keycharms on a two-week notice. During which I'd be kept very up-to-date on the messages the printers send, asking for their designs, stressing me the gently caress out for the entire workweek.

is twine still a thing? also is anyone else struggling with long-term projects because when you're about 5% of the way through them and starting to engage your brain begins to whisper "we're all hosed, this will solve nothing, you're wasting your time"?

While I don't really play games as much anymore, I have a really really bad tendency to take commissions because they're a challenge or because they're interesting. I have one big paying commission where i'm doing a maintenance scene and I decided to do synthetic muscle detailing from pealed back skin, and it is driving me bonkers. I can't really back down on it because I CHOSE to do it, but instead of finishing it I took a much simpler commission and finished that one in 3 days because it was fun. meanwhile I'm still dreading the lining and coloring on the other one, or worse, detailing the muscle bands for the OTHER leg.

As a stressy person who got their first panic attack at 11 because we got shown a documentary at school about just how the enviroment was getting hosed, how it being hosed actively made it more difficult to save and easier for it to get even worse and how goddamn doomed we all are because of phosphates in the washing powder - I highly recommend the mental equivalent of pushing your fingers in your ears and going "lal lal lal lal la". I'm not even kidding. Being responsible for the entire environment is too big a burden to bear and it is crushing in weight. You accept things are hosed and you do what you can, you try to make the right choices when you can, and you decide you're not gonna actively participate in loving things up if you can help it. I loudly declared to my parents that our washing powder is full of phosphates, we're destroying the water, and that we're getting phosphate-free powder from now on, dusted my hands at the job well done.. and then spent the next 2 years avoiding looking at the trees so I wouldn't see any signs of acid rain or pollution killing them. Denial! It works!

you are only one single person. literally the only thing you can do while the world is ending is try to affect things at a reasonable level. for me this means helping organize labor/tenant unions through the iww, and helping address food scarcity through food not bombs.

she's definitely my charity client  and she's one of those people who just has like no concept of money as a thing, so i will never ever tell her that the lump sum she pays me per project comes out to like $2/hour, and neither will any of the other people involved in production and tech support, who are all earning a similar rate lol

My friend told me there's a movement to not show short-snout dogs because of the health problems, and as it happens, the universe decided to prove her point as I read an article about dogs that had the addendum that the picture of the dog in the article was changed from a pug to another dog because the Finnish Vet Union recommends not showing pics of short-snout dogs. I am heartbroken. I've always had this same love-hate relationship with pugs, where I love their chonky bodies and goofy faces but recognize that they should not exist as they are. The same with any fat animals, too! They are adorable! But in real life, fat pets are unhappy and unhealthy. So I enjoy drawn pics of both, because that's not hurting anyone. Right? I'm not so sure anymore. I'd appreciate your thoughts, because I painted The Cutest Pug and now I'm second-guessing if that should exist, either.
