literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week

search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts

mockup zone freebies

unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos

pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice

pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!

as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.

July 27, 1914: Kafka struggles to eat a peach

Ate rice à la Trautmannsdorf and a peach. A man drinking wine watched my attempts to cut the unripe little peach with my knife. I couldn’t. Stricken with shame under the old man’s eyes, I let the peach go completely and ten times leafed through Die Fliegenden Blätter. I waited to see if he wouldn’t at last turn away. Finally I collected all my strength and in defiance of him bit into the completely juiceless and expensive peach.

I saw someone compare my recent art to Alphonse Mucha and it hit me that for a lot of people he is the only slavic artist they know about, so I thought I’d use this opportunity to talk a bit about my actual inspirations : D

Lately I’ve been greatly inspired by Kazimierz Sichulski, Jan Rembowski and Stanisław Wyspiański, to the point of occasional imitation I admit.

Their art in order: Die Huzulische Madonna by Sichulski, Pochód Górali by Rembowski, Macierzyństwo by Wyspiański

Occasionally you may see me reference Ivan Bilibin’s art, although it’s mostly when I want some particular piece to be instantly recognized as slavic by general audience :P

Another painter I look up to is Adam Styka, I’m not so much influenced by his art style but I adore the way he portrays comfortable interactions between people

And lastly, I also enjoy looking at the art of Aleksander Augustynowicz or Wojciech Kossak, just to get a general understanding of “this is how artists handle painting people at rest, or people interacting with each other”
