this is such incredible advice for creating any kind of art i have to put it over here to remind myself

And this goes for writing too.

There are stories that only you are qualified to tell best: that only you are able to tell. You are uniquely positioned in spacetime to do this job because of your life detail, your upbringing, your reading, your thinking. No one else can tell your stories just the way you do, no matter how good a writer they might be.

And inside you somewhere are characters desperate for your attention; desperate for your intention and your work to breathe life into them. They need your voice raised to tell their stories. No one else can do it. You are their only hope.

Waste no more time worrying about whether your take on their stories will be good enough. You have more important things to be thinking about. So go get on with it. :)

Here’s the new 24 hour comic I drew this year!  This one is called THE KING’S FOREST.  cw: blood, violence

How the fuck did you make that last panel say so many things without using any words at all that’s so fucking cool.

ai makes everything so boring. deepfakes will never be as funny as clipping together presidential speeches. ai covers will never be as funny as imitating the character. ai art will never be as good as art drawn by humans. ai chats will never be as good as roleplaying with other people. ai writing will never be as good as real authors

i spent $32 on this fucking bowl at the moma and at first i felt bad buying it bc it was so expensive but ive had a terrible day today and every time i look at my lil bowl im like :o) you know what. i can get through anything with this bowl by my side

i literally get what marie kondo was talking about now

bc everyone keeps requesting to see it filled :)

I don’t know how long I’ve been here. Time seems to pass differently. But the place is cozy and private so I have no complaints. And whenever I’m hungry, I go outside with my bowl and walk down the hill to the shore. Sometimes the lake is made of soup. Sometimes it’s huge pasta noodles the size of barges. Sometimes it’s breakfast cereal. Sometimes it’s dumplings the size of great whales. I dip my little bowl and take a portion and carry it back up to the house.

Today I found a new bowl! In its center is a little hill with a little house. I will carry it down to the shore and fill it up, and whomever lives in that little house can have a tiny portion of my meal. I hope they have a nice bowl to put it in..

there should be a show about a modern girl trying to achieve sainthood/martyrdom i think you'd have a lot of shit to work with there also it would be kind of funny like her peers are at an age where theyre obsessing over boys while shes obsessing over how her chances of being burned at the cross is getting thinner and thinner and how hard being canonized will be in this age of late stage capitalism where she'll sin regardless of intent and also since at a young age shes harbored an intense fixation over female saints not because of any underlying reasons it's totally not because she's a lesbian and also one time in 4th grade during recess she tried to incite her classmates to stone her to death and she likes to go hunting for angels and once she tried to rob a medieval grave under the belief that her holy weapon was hidden deep there. she's such a silly little girl

Y'ALL WE GOT MILES G IN ACTION!!

The band, the music, the dance.

puts on sound 📣🎶🎵

Ok, I NEED you to understand just how insane even ATTEMPTING this was for them.

1. Playing an instrument is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Don’t think I’m stepping on any toes saying that.

2. Dancing is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Still not controversial.

3. YOU AVOID, AT ALL COSTS, MOVING YOUR BODY WHILE PLAYING A WIND INSTRUMENT.  To make the correct, pleasant sounds, you need to be in the correct form. And that form involves your ENTIRE body, even your legs when sitting down.

4. “oh, but I’ve seen marching bands before and-” MARCHING BANDS HAVE ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC FIELDS DEDICATED TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO MARCH WITH MINIMUM BREAKING OF PROPER FORM. A marching band tries to be as smooth as possible while moving, so as not to jar their instrument, mouth, neck, arms, torso, or anything else.These ladies and gentlemen are BOUNCING and still playing properly, what the FU-!

5. AND ANOTHER THING! Wind instruments and dancing BOTH make demands on your breathing, so the fact that they are dancing (making you breath faster for extra oxygen) AND playing wind instruments (making you effectively hold your breath) AT THE SAME TIME is HUGE. Their lungs must be MASSIVE.

All of that also; the song is Sing, sing, sing (with a swing). If you wanna listen to some of THE SPICIEST big band ever recorded. Its a big hard song and this band does it expertly.

i cant stress this though but people have to relearn how to start creating for the joy of creation instead of creating for the sake of skill. art is supposed to be for fun and its up to You to indulge ur appetite for creation as sincerely and candidly as u can

it doesnt matter if ur art is "bad" or "unskilled." the point of art is not to be good at it. the point is to create because u can and because it feels good

I think Anthy would send Utena the most absolutely deranged memes. Like the most barely comprehensible “cry for help” type memes you can imagine, deep fried into a jpeg that can barely be parsed. As Utena, however, was tragically born with an incredibly earnest brick inside her head in place of a brain, she Does Not Get It and just replies like “hahaha, funny pic Himemiya!”. She tries to reciprocate but just sends the most basic-ass Facebook Dad memes imaginable. Like the kind of stuff your Mom would send you. Anthy just replies like “Oh, I have seen this one before, Utena-sama ❤️“ and pretends she doesn’t save them.

High time for restin'

Did a small art trend on Twitter where you compare art from 3 years ago to art from today-

Interestingly enough it was about 3 years ago when I started drawing the big dorks
