Trash Painting #15

2025

Waste acrylic and glitter glue on reclaimed wood panel

In my series 'Trash Paintings', I only use materials left over from other art projects—unused acrylic paint lingering on the palette, sheets of half-dried glue from the morning after a papier-mache session, snippets of cardboard picked off the floor. Creating with waste emboldens me to explore textures and compositions I'm scared will be ugly. What's the worst that could happen? It's already trash. This trash painting uses leftover paint from a swatch test and glitter glue that arrived half-dried because the seal was broken.

I find the way that BBC Merlin set up Merlin's powers in the first episode to be quite funny. I mean, we see this sort of lanky guy and it is established that he is Merlin and (according to our own common knowledge) therefore he is the most powerful warlock ever. Okay, cool. One might assume that he has come to Gaius to develop his powers, that maybe he's only in the beginning of his magical journey. But instead the exposition shows Merlin, in the pilot episode of this 5 series show, stop time and employ levitation to save someone's life with magic, and then it is announced that prince Arthur is essentially his soulmate, and their joint power will create the most glorious age Camelot has ever seen. Quite an exciting set-up. And then for the rest of the entire show this man who we know possesses TIME-ALTERING POWERS mostly uses them on-screen to do common chores and annoy and prank THAT SAME Arthur. Like that one post said, "All of it's destiny and all of it's his fault." :p

TAROT INFLUENCED ABSTRACT FANDOM ART COMMISSIONS

Hey, fellow Tumblr fanatics! I’m Chelsea (they/them), and I’m here to create unique, personal fan art inspired by your favorite moments, characters, and themes from any fandom—through the lens of tarot and abstract artistry.

Each piece is tailored to you. We’ll have a FREE consultation to explore your ideas, discuss your relationship with the fandom, and even pull a tarot card (if you’re into it!) to add depth and meaning to your commission. Whether it’s a subtle nod to a beloved show or an abstract portrayal of a favorite scene, your art will be as unique as your fandom experience.

Think fandom memorabilia but elevated—no “Dunder Mifflin” t-shirts here. Imagine something that only true fans will recognize (tell me you have a Woodsboro Film Club sweatshirt and a Buffy gym hoodie w/o telling me).

Drop your questions below or DM me! let me know if you want to start your own personal fandom art journey. Let’s create something just for you!

(P.S. Shoutout to @strawlessandbraless for their Merlin piece and inspo for this new project idea. Also, @katherynefromphilly—don’t come for me, but your piece i made was definitely more about your fic than the show. If y’all have read “and like the cycle of the year, we begin again” on Ao3… are you okay? i have a support group)

[read-write-thrive]

platonic and romantic are not some sort of binary that relationships have to be divided into. they’re not even two ends of a linear spectrum. they’re fully just abstract concepts made up of culturally-dependant social behaviour and expectations that are continually forced upon people to reinforce religious, legal, and broader societal/cultural norms, often and repeatedly to the detriment of non-normative groups including, but not limited to, the queer community. and I am sick and tired of those norms being replicated in fucking fandom discourse, of all places
