more long-time wips resurrected from my work folders, finally got this rendered!
see i think what people get caught up in is going "oh this and that are fetish art......hey did you know x thing is a fetish...pretty crazy right.....this piece of art is actually a fetish for the artist........" and like. see the problem is thinking that devalues the art. i don't think something being a fetish or sexual in nature or whatever actually detracts from any meaning or emotional weight something could have. i don't think "horny" is a worthless or meaningless emotion and i don't see why exploring it in art is any different from "sadness" or "happiness" or "anger". does that make sense? im just sayin we should examine why we view sexuality as inherently detracting/meaning less in art than other things
this blew up so lightning round:
"as long as they're not posting it publicly"/"well its not always horny dont assume its horny": you're missing the point, this is a post about how horny is an emotion of equal artistic value to any other and if people want to post their fetish art i think that's fine
"i was raised christian/came from a christian background and this was a hard thing i had to learn but so important"/"the idea of sexual feelings being less worthy of showing is christian": i'm proud of you you're doing great. also that's true
"it's more interesting actually"/"fetish art ends up being better bc people put a lot more focus into their work when they're obsessed with it": you're right
"stop it with the horny jail thing": you're also right
Xu Bing: 'Tiger-Skin Carpet' (2011)
made of thousands of cigarettes, is a massive display of desire, seduction, and danger - ideas that have been associated with tobacco and also predominant in the human history. The title "Honor and Splendor" #1 # not only hints on the brand of the cigarettes, E ("Wealth"), but also alludes to what tiger-skin carpet symbolizes: luxury and status.

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.
It’s okay. You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.
i’ve found that my natural writing cycle is:
write > take a break to consume fiction for inspiration > my project evolves and improves > and i rinse and repeat.
it’s completely normal, and healthy, to have breaks where you don’t write as part of your writing process.
