nothing will ever beat the high of being 13 years old and drawing shit like this

a scanned pencil drawing of a cyberpunk person in a room filled with vents pipes and wires. they have headphones, face tats, and a gun hanging from a studded belt. this is drawn in a bad anime style by me when I was 13.

i drew this at 25. you could say it’s “objectively” “better”, but did it provide *more* satisfaction than earlier art? no it did not

an ink drawing of a girl working in a room filled with her belongings. she is an ornithologist so a lot of things are bird related.

@lake Jennifer’s body is based. Good move all around. Watching it made me really sad for remembering how bullied everyone involved was after it came out.

QRT @gem
“Sister Corita's rules for the Immaculate Heart College Art Department, c. 1965”
(yes im doing a manual quote tweet)

i had a copy of this taped up in various places I lived when I was ~18-20. same text different formatting. i always thought the whole thing was written by john cage but I guess not!

at the time I felt like doing all these things at once was stressful + beyond my capabilities. but attempting to live by it anyway definitely did Something.

Rule 1 FIND A PLACE YOU TRUST, AND THEN TRY TRUSTING IT FOR A WHILE. Rule 2 GENERAL DUTIES OF A STUDENT: PULL EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR TEACHER; PULL EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS. Rule 3 GENERAL DUTIES OF A TEACHER: PULL EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR STUDENTS. Rule 4 CONSIDER EVERYTHING AN EXPERIMENT. Rule 5 BE SELF-DISCIPLINED: THIS MEANS FINDING SOMEONE WISE OR SMART AND CHOOSING TO FOLLOW THEM. TO BE DISCIPLINED IS TO FOLLOW IN A GOOD WAY. TO BE SELF-DISCIPLINED IS TO FOLLOW IN A BETTER WAY. Rule 6 NOTHING IS A MISTAKE. THERE’S NO WIN AND NO FAIL, THERE’S ONLY MAKE. Rule 7 THE ONLY RULE IS WORK. IF YOU WORK IT WILL LEAD TO SOMETHING. IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO DO ALL OF THE WORK ALL OF THE TIME WHO EVENTUALLY CATCH ON TO THINGS. Rule 8 DON’T TRY TO CREATE AND ANALYZE AT THE SAME TIME. THEY’RE DIFFERENT PROCESSES. Rule 9 BE HAPPY WHENEVER YOU CAN MANAGE IT. ENJOY YOURSELF. IT’S LIGHTER THAN YOU THINK. Rule 10 “WE’RE BREAKING ALL THE RULES. EVEN OUR OWN RULES. AND HOW DO WE DO THAT? BY LEAVING PLENTY OF ROOM FOR X QUANTITIES.” JOHN CAGE HELPFUL HINTS: ALWAYS BE AROUND. COME OR GO TO EVERYTHING. ALWAYS GO TO CLASSES. READ ANYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON.

if i could change anything about this id get rid of the phrase “the only rule is work” completely. fuck “work”. i could elaborate but I won’t
if there is anything i would emphasize in larger text (debatable) it should be : “it is lighter than you think”

freehand cherub #tattoo for a dear friend. it was a coverup of one of the first tattoos I ever did (8 years ago!)

A black and grey tattoo of two cherub heads surrounded by wings on a thigh. There is another tattoo of a deer with butterfly wings on the other leg.

the tattoo in its different forms….
i still adore the way a settled stick and poke looks, but was happy to get a chance to really viscerally see how far my skills have come <3

they’re painted on canvas glued to magnet paper, so they can be used as a fridge magnet, or stuck to any magnetic surface

photo of an art print showing a black and white drawing of a female figure ripping its arms and head from its body, in two panels. in the background of the art is a river, some swans, plants, and a butterfly
a hand is holding up a black and white sticker with a plant illustration. The background shows a stuccoed wall with dried plants hanging on it.

wires are human cobwebs.
.
humans spread networks woven on walls, strung on air. every line with two lives- one as part of a web, another as a dusty obsolescence.
.
if there is an art to a spider’s web, then there is a similar beauty to a human’s construction.
