THE REST GOES SOMETHING LIKE, "IN MY VOMIT THERE WAS A LAST MEAL, A TIN CAN, AN OLD BOOT, AND A BUNCH OF CRAP I NEVER EVEN KNEW I HAD IN ME."

[bellsmortallts4]

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise

A single teardrop falling from your eye

I don't know why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another

Save your tears for another day

im just a bunch of mitski lyrics glued together

[russian-pushistik]

But I just want to hear three words before I say goodbye.

Neither "Leningrad", nor "bread", nor "blockade", nor "leaflets"

I wish I'd never heard it all again.

I know you've never said "l", my sweet fly-fly

But I wish I could hear a short one instead of the howl of the loudspeaker

I you 🫵

Love 💓

2023 vs 2020

It turns out to be a songart.. I watched Better Call Saul and there was this song in the first episode. And I liked her so much that I drew this. The funny thing is that I remembered this drawing, decided to redraw it, turned on the series (because new episodes were released while I wasn’t watching), and I was like: ah! so this is from here, for sure.

2023 против 2020 года

Получается песня.. Я смотрела Лучше звоните Солу и в первой серии была эта песня. И чето она мне так понравилась, что я это нарисовала. Самое смешное, что я вспомнила про этот рисунок, решила перерисовать, включаю сериал (потому что выходили новые серии, пока я не смотрела), и такое: а! так это же отсюда, точно.

An important question for rc9gn community - why Bucky Hensletter is so mitski-coded?

And is it true, that Mitski invented Randy Cunningham 9th Grade ninja, so I could draw a fanart inspired by her songs?

NO WORRIES - bucky is not molested here or smth - the nudity represents his insecurity and helplessness in front of his bullies. Nothing more or less

Botanical Rhythms

Objective: “Dive into the heart of your chosen song (1 minute) and translate its rhythm onto paper using nature's tools as your brush. Explore how the texture, shape, and movement of natural materials can echo the energy, emotions, and themes of your chosen melody.”

The project’s secondary objective was to make a paintbrush using natural materials (leaves, ocean sponges, sticks, fibers, etc)

I chose this song:

Fluyendo by Ayla Schafer 00:30-01:30 minutes

It’s a water song that my mom likes to play when she’s high. She likes to say thank you to the ocean, and she also has a song for thanking the sun.

I love when she plays this one, it sounds like water and I think it’s so pretty.

I started by making three brushes.

I brought all kinds of materials because I was excited about the project. First, I made a paintbrush out of my own hair that I’ve been collecting for three months. I have a lot of medical issues so my hair was falling for a few months and I started collecting it as a joke but also to gauge how much was falling for my doctor. My hair stopped falling recently, so I didn’t need to collect any more, and it felt weird throwing my hair in the garbage, and there wasn’t enough to make a hair extension or something so I decided to use it for this project.

I started by organizing the hairs on a piece of tape, I estimate having placed 300 hairs before my fingers got tired.

I bent this amount in half, then in half again, about three times. Then I cut off the rounded parts of the folds and glued the hair to a stick. It didn’t feel sturdy enough, so I attempted to cut up a Canada Dry can I found outside and use it to hold everything together, kind of like the tin bit at the end of a pencil. This was not only ugly, but super in effective, so I covered the whole thing in tape and hot glued a few layers of twine around everything to make sure it wouldn’t fall apart. This made for an ugly paintbrush. Also, my hair is dyed and bleached and overall not the healthiest so it didn’t absorb much ink. This paintbrush was a failure but that’s okay!!

Next, I taped a sea sponge that the professor bought to a stick. That’s paintbrush #2. Then I glued some leaves I found outside my house on some kind of fern looking bush to a stick. That’s paintbrush #3.

For the canvas, I cut up newsprint and multimedia paper into a circle. I did this by holding a nail tied to a pencil in the center of the page and using it like a big compass.

It’s not perfect, but hey, my scissors suck and also I probably didn’t do the compass method that well.

Next, I poured 6 cups of ink. The first cup was 90% water, the second was 75% water, the next was 50%, and so on until the 6th one was pure ink. This was for more control over values. I ended up readding water to all of them to not waste more ink, and also it’s a water song, so whatever.

After that, I sat on the floor in front of my paper-circle-canvas-situation, and began spinning the paper in front of me slowly as the song played. One full rotation of the circle was about a minute of the song, and then I would restart the song and keep spinning from where I left off.

I started with the edges, using a feather brush (paintbrush #4, pictured above), and doing a flowing motion with my hand that matched the beat of the song (not the singer’s voice.) I used the wateriest ink pool.

I did it like this, and I noticed my flows/loops seemed to rise in height as the beat/background instruments got louder. I trusted my body a lot for this process and let myself be moved by the music as much as possible. I felt like the moment I tried to control my strokes the work would no longer be an authentic representation of how I felt listening to it.

After this, I used the sponge brush and feather brush to paint the artist’s vocals, all still while slowly spinning the canvas. This was flowy, and clear. The following image shows the feather brushed background instruments (outer edges of circle) and the vocals (inner squiggle). There are some sparse squiggles between these two edges, and they represent the few times the singer says “agua” very gently and softly at the beginning of the minute I chose.

Next, I used the leaf brush to “smack” the drum beats down when they came. I did this using the ink pool with zero dilution. There are a lot of drums. Then I added more for good measure. And some more while spinning the stick, also. Drops remind me of water and I had ink leftover, so I used the rest of the watery inks just making drops. To be honest, I was having fun. That’s all, thanks for reading!!

My next post shows it moving :)
