@berniesanders had a very good day yesterday. I mean, Bunny Sanders. (This image popped into my head this morning and I just had to make it happen.) 🇺🇸👴🏼🐰 #speakeasyillustrations #berniesanders #easterbernie #bernie2016

I never Tumblr anymore but this was a very sweet post from The Autumn Roses. Thank you!

Phosphene, “Wild Decay” and “Ride”

They orbit faithfully like moons, pale-ivory and present ghosts during the day, bright beacons at night. Both “Wild Decay” and “Ride” jangle with melancholy and a lost hope found, and they are taken from Breaker, the forthcoming six-song EP from Oakland’s Phosphene. The EP will be released both digitally and on CD from April 29th, and you can find three of their singles on their Bandcamp page now.

“Don’t let career sexiness or things other people say you should be interested in guide what you want to do…You want to be in a career that you love every minute of and you want going to work to be a joy.”

Jessica Hische (via shespeakseasy)

I first posted this over 2 years ago when I was on a failing career path. I am now a working artist. It has been a monumental year for me and I’m excited about how much more I have to learn and how much growing I still have to do. Only good things await.

2015 was a whirlwind, mainly of fulfillment. It was the first full year of doing what I want to do professionally. It is still surreal. My band finished our second record. I kept my head down a lot. Looking forward to looking up in 2016 and hope you can all do the same. ❤️ #speakeasyillustrations #2016

Bi and Pan Girls

.your attraction to women is not somehow tainted by your attraction to men

.it’s not a “half attraction” or a dirty perverted secret.

.It’s not “playing into the male gaze”

.It’s not “more heteronormative” and you aren’t automatically forcing the relationship into m/f gender roles

.your attraction to women is so pure and beautiful your love for women is so pure and beautiful from the first time looking at one of your female friends made you blush and you weren’t quite sure why to the smol tough girl you went on a movie date with and cuddled when she got scared to every girl you’ll love today, tommorow and always, no matter how many men you have and will love as well.

Remembering Elliott Smith We took this photo on Parkman across the street from Café Tropical just off Sunset Blvd. A few days later we realized the ‘Hate You’ newsstand had been a prop for some film being made down the street. Love, AdW

Starting to run out of ideas so here's a #currentlyreading sketch. Not usually much for Western-type fiction but so in love with this author's style. Her characters are unapologetically human. #inktoberday26 #inktober #speakeasyillustrations

Sometimes I work on cool stuff and sometimes I do this. 🍌😎
