so my apartment building got a notice board to post fire alarm tests and maintenance announcements and such. the building is pretty well-maintained, so we rarely get notices. the board is big and grey and to think it would be empty like that 99% of the time was a bland boring sin i just couldn't bear, so i vandalized the corner of its empty canvas with a teeny tiny Guy
and within a few days, there was a sudden addition from my one of my neighbors along with a Bunch of thumbtacks. this was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!
well there was still so much space, i figured i'd add another crumb to the art hoard. i'd been playing genshin that day so i drew my favorite grandpa
and like clockwork, new art manifested!! this person is gonna grow to be a great artist i know it. the detail in those stones? hell yeah that's cool.
we're two weeks into it. more neighbors have joined in with their artwork. who knew there were so many artists in my building?? we're onto somethin great here i just know it.
I may recrop this afterwards. It's an illustration in black ink on a rather odd parchment of the artist Colin McMullan with onions on his face. 2009
What in the fanfic hell is this?? đđ
Radfems will use any kind of sexual content that makes you uncomfortable to introduce you to terrible sex negative rhetoric and we donât talk about it enough. Statistically, everyone is going to have something that would make them uncomfortable sexually. But that doesnât mean itâs a societal or moral failing when those things exist and that we all must rally against them.

the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i donât give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!
it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thingâand then show it off or gift it.
and then so people my age say to me âwellâi canât draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.â yeah, well duhâa part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. uâll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you canât stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.
making things improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.
take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESNâT INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.
iâll say it til the cows come home but as undeniably strange as the star wars prequels are, george lucasâ direction with anakin was downright fucking inspired. people were waiting for whatever badass backstory lucas was sure to give them, awaiting a naturally intimidating actor with rogueish charm to be cast, waiting for this masterpiece of badass villainy or whatever, and george lucas is like no, no, iâve got you. and then he finds the one man on the planet who looked babier than baby mark hamill and says, âhis main personality trait will be being weird and awkward, secondary personality trait loving his wife, tertiary personality trait being incredibly good at murder, and all of these traits will do battle on the silver screen for three movies until they all win in possibly the worst way.â that fucking rules. george lucas couldâve done anything with darth vader and he willingly, enthusiastically chose mentally unstable college student who is somehow married but his only friend is his kind-of dad. that fucking rules, top down, thatâs fucking exquisite. if you donât think that premise is inherently entertaining youâve got no taste
Hey New Followers and old,
I don't update my art nearly as often as I should, and because I didn't know how tumblr works when I first made my account, I have different blogs for different stuff. If you want to see all of my micro-blogging and the majority of my tumblr activity, go to this URL: http://fuckyeahemmett.tumblr.com
Thank you for your time. Love!
