Um so apparently you can live in this Parisian bookstore for free

I just learned about this place called Shakespeare and Company, situated right outside Notre Dame in Paris. You can go there and sleep for free, for just a night or a few weeks. One dude reportedly stayed here for years. During the day you’re welcome to write or make art among the bookshelves. 

All they ask is that you read their books, tend their store for a couple of hours each day, and put a one-page autobiography in their already extensive library. A lot of people here speak English, and lots of the books are in English as well. If you live here, you’re called a Tumbleweed, how cute is that?! (Here’s a link to one blogger’s experience.) I think I’m going to put another item on my bucket list…

Okay.. this is awesome.

i thought i had posted this sketch on this blog buuuut i guess not?? sorry for the repost. you can deal with seeing a scruffy one-eyed puppy again.

I am disappointed that when I try to say “smol” out loud it seems indistinguishable from “small”

i just wanted to protect you / i just wanted everyone to know how talented my daughter is

Glitter, Oil, & Soap - “Odyssey”, Ruslan Khasanov

Russian artist Ruslan Khasanov just released a glittery follow-up to his mesmerizing“Pacific Light” video from a few years ago that captured close-up mixing of ink, oil and soap. The video, titled “Odyssey,” has us just as transfixed as last time…

If you think art is easy or a lazy escape route through college then fuck you, art is degrading, it fucks with your self worth, for every 100 paintings you do, 99 of them will be shit - you just do it and hope it looks good. When you can’t project an idea from your head onto paper the way you want it, it is heart breaking and so fucking frustrating, don’t tell me art is easy because you need to be very head strong to cope with constantly under achieving in something you love

some anna shenanigans from twitter

The “If you’re not drawing 24/7 you aren’t working hard enough.” mentality is garbage.

When I was in college there was this ongoing competitive mindset from the teachers /students that: “If you’re not drawing all night / getting 1 - 2 hours of sleep, you’re going to fall behind.” If you’re an artist you’ve probably met this kind of thinking… I’ve heard it from so many pros / tutorials.

One of my professors said that line all the time. I loved this dude. he worked at Disney on many of my favorite movies, and my young self became absorbed in this mindset. About 3 years into my degree that professor had a stroke, and when he went to the doctor they said he actually previously had something like 10+ strokes without even knowing, brought on by stress, and that he needed to slow down. 

Since then I’ve heard tons of other accounts of sickness and divorce brought on from addiction to work.

A few years later I was listening to an Animation podcast interviewing Glen Keane. He brought up that there were other animators who would live and breathe their work, never going home, barely sleeping, etc. 

What shocked me was that Glen Keane said something like “I ignored this idea, and decided to go home every night to spend time with my family, because I could learn just as much from my life experiences with them.” 

Anyway I just wanted to take a second after hearing a statement like this again recently and let any young artists out there know that:

There’s nothing wrong with investing plenty of time studying and drawing, but also be healthy.
