This sounds like something out of a Looney Toons bit

Niffty Speedpaint

Just remembered this speedpaint I made a bit ago! Does anyone else watch their own old speedpaints, or am I just lowkey self-absorbed?

I wanna pet this dude so bad, but 1) it's not real, and 2) I'm allergic to sheep's wool so I don't know if I'd also be allergic to dragon's wool.

Do y'all think dragons would produce lanolin? I hope not. It's bad enough to have the forbidden fluff that are sheepies.

Book Wyrm Buttons!!!

So my mom bought me a button press for Solstice this year, so I'm adding buttons to my Etsy shop. First up is this bad boy:

This design was partially birthed by spite. I saw a t-shirt that said "Book Dragon" years ago, and it upset me that they had missed such a wonderful opportunity for a pun. So it's my pun now. Get fucked random Insta ad from 2019.

Anyway, I'm currently selling 32mm buttons here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1836710164/book-wyrm-32mm-button?click_key=b23a9b61dcfde5ca838d4450846a7575b220fee8%3A1836710164&click_sum=beb68741&ref=shop_home_active_3

If there's demand, I might make bigger versions

The identity crisis of being an artist who just graduated college but didn't major in art lol

So as the title states, I just graduated university! Yay! Finally out of that hell hole, and one more step closer to being able to move out of Florida. I'm happy to be done, but I've been feeling a bit apprehensive about what I'm going to do with my life now. What I can even do with my life now, honestly.

I majored in Communication with a focus in Business and Professional Communication, so currently I'm mainly looking at marketing and sales type positions. I've been lucky enough to have had really wonderful internship experiences in the marketing field, so it's not like I would be miserable, but I can't help feel kinda dissatisfied with the idea.

Art is the only type of work I've ever done that made me feel more fulfilled after doing it, rather than drained (even if it can be a struggle to force myself to actually just sit down and do it). I want to try to at least incorporate making art into whatever I end up doing. I even added a bit of graphic design to my job duties at my last internship, even though I didn't have to.

However, I feel horribly unqualified to do any sort of art professionally. I'm self-taught, and unfortunately have often had to put my art on the back burner to focus on school and health problems, so my skills just aren't very well developed, and I lack experience with a lot of professional software.

As a student, I felt less insecure about it I guess, bc just saying "I'm a student" implies so much freedom and potential. I still had time to figure myself out. I was lucky to have gotten a lot of scholarships, so I didn't have to stress about bills too much. I theoretically had time and freedom to work on my passions, even if it often didn't work out that way.

I know a lot of ppl will say I'm still young, and have time to learn and grow. And I'm hoping to try to use some of this time while I'm still looking for a job to focus on working on my art (I even finally opened the Etsy shop I've been putting off for months); however, I worry about what will happen when I finally do get a job.

A lot of the entry-level marketing jobs I've been getting interviews for have very long hours, and some even expect you to work on weekends. At this point, I fear I might have to take on a very intensive work schedule in order to get any employment. This will likely leave me with little free time, and I've already been struggling with severe fatigue due to health issues.

I saw what happened to my mom due to long work hours and chronic health issues. She used to an artist, that was one of her defining attributes. She was constantly painting or working with pastels. She'd doodle everywhere. Our house was literally covered in her art. But after just a few years of nursing, she just became too tired to. She just stopped making original art. Maybe once in a blue moon, she'd have a sudden burst of inspiration and would paint a door with some stencils, but then she wouldn't pick up a paintbrush again for like a year.

And it drove her mad. I know it drove her mad; she would literally cry at night sometimes saying she felt like she had completely lost her identity. She finally painted something for the first time in several years (based on a poem she wrote which was also something she hadn't done in a long time), and she was so happy at first. But she was crushed when most ppl in her life didn't seem that interested.

I'm scared to end up like my mother, and giving up on art bc of practicality and just life not really being conducive to it.

And I also already feel myself falling into chastising myself for spending time on my art, since I should be focusing on getting a job. There's always something I SHOULD be doing instead, and I fear one day it will completely eat me up too.

Somebody plz tell me my little chibi pngtuber is cute. I'm working on editing the second video in this style and it's taking FOREVER. Need some motivation to power through adding all the little PNGs

[boofitz]

Once again gonna try out this site again. I keep getting overwhelmed and scaling back the sites I post my art on, but I just graduated uni, and am currently unemployed so I definitely have time lol

[boofitz]

So tired of getting those stickin "I'd like to use your art as a muse. You will be getting paid" scam messages. If you're messaging me about money, I better be getting some actual money MFer

[boofitz]

I just wanna be a pretty shoujo heroine living in the city, with a rotation of eccentric friends, a bunch of 3rd places, and getting to draw pretty things for a living. Is that too much to ask?

[boofitz]

Me doing a fun little art challenge! I made a poll, and used it to help design a chibi

Dropping banger after banger

I like the video this comes from, but god I wish the audio was better. Anyway the form of nature disturbs me, and art keeps tossing me into a pool of unwanted knowledge

[boofitz]

I'm back baby!!!! I kinda fell off from most of my social medias bc I was busy this summer with an internship, and I've been slowly adding more things back into rotation. So don't mind me spamming my backlog
