My page for @destinytriofanzine! I drew something about kids always dreaming of far off places

[id in alt!]

#kingdom hearts #kh #ahh this one was so hard to draw; i never know how to combine a bunch of scenes in one picture without it looking cheesy #just threw a bunch of waves and leaves and birds on top and called it a day haha. it might be a bit too busy though #the white line going up the center is supposed to be a trail left behind by the gummi ship! it connects to the ship in the bg at the top #it's kinda meant to evoke little kids dreaming of other places-> getting older and earnestly making the raft to try to reach the dream #->the gummi ship as a premonition of how they'd actually reach the dream in the future. i guess? idk how to explain #and i really wanted to have kairi's expressions be really similar but changing subtly from wonder to worry when she's older #the boys are just max enthusiasm the whole time #but yeah. something something Symbolism and hopefully it's at least kinda pretty if it doesn't make sense #i'm just super proud to have been part of this project! everyone's work is just amazing #the destiny kids give me this soft feeling of kinda lonely nostalgia. it's nice to have a book full of that #very wistful looking through it #fan art #my art #project stuff

Initial drawings of that old man… I literally, I haven’t finished reading the book of bill yet!!! I had to stop and take a break for a week to feverishly draw fanart of myself petting fords floofy hair and giving him attention and shit…!!!! The urge was too great….!! I’ve literally. I had a crush on this guy the instant he was first REVEALED in the show, but I did not have the artistic prowess to draw good looking old men back then… but I do now… thank god… thank fucking god

#gravity falls #ford pines #stanford pines #self ship #self insert #si x canon #it me #doodles #I got a haircut! so my hair looks different now.. as haircuts tend to do lol #anyway… yeah… I LOVE HIM… GRAHHFJH #the confirmation that he rlly is just sad and lonely and insecure and craving attention and validation #OHH FORD BBY.. WE R THE SAME #like… ghghg i loved him already just w his prickly nerdy outer shell but knowing more about the vulnerable center is GREAT. ITS AWESOME #also hes a smart nerdy guy who can do science and expirements and shit which is ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS FOR A CHARACTER TO DO #u kno im all about scientists….#I couldn’t draw ship art back then 1 cuz I didn’t kno how to draw old men and 2 cuz I was like 13 lol… which would have been wierd #but I’m an ADULT NOW. GET OVER HERE FORD #also it didn’t even rlly cross my mind TO draw that stuff cuz even tho I did love ford #self ship and x reader sorta stuff was not NEARLY as popular back then.. like I specifically remember it like. booming in popularity #at some point. but being pretty rare before that. anyway. thank u passage of time and trends and new gravity falls book for introducing #me back to fictional man I love. so I can now draw myself smooching him and shit #hell yeah.#13 is probably not actually correct I do not remember exactly which year fords reveal was in…#but I was probably older then 13.. but still #the point remains lol.#also omg. the bit in the book w the goth moth. ‘ur probably into this sorta thing right?’#I AM INTO THAT SORTA THING FORD. thank u book of bill for being written specifically @ me. the immersion it’s great.#like ur so right ford I AM edgy and goth how’d u guess that tee hee. eyelash flutter #aLSO PLS IGNORE MY FINGER BEING IN FRAME IN THE LAST PIC. I was drawing in a tiny bound sketchbook #so I had to hold the paper down to keep it flat. and. I didn’t feel like censoring my fucking. pinkie finger out of the image

It’s Feral Friday!

Sometimes getting feral simply entails pondering the familiar from an unconsidered perspective and finding fascination in the everyday. This week we’ve selected a work from our Book Arts Collection that does just that. Sarah Peters’ The Moon Has No Weather is a book that posits the earth’s natural satellite as its own archivist—a celestial body with no atmosphere whose physical history is preserved on its windless, waterless surface.

Inspired by an installation of Peters’ work at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, The Moon Has No Weather was produced during her residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop and published as an artist’s book in 2013 in Rosendale, NY. The text was letterpress printed in Fox typeface (designed by Chad Kloepfer) on Magnani Arturo paper. The book also includes hand-marbled Hahnemühle Bugra, Thai Mulberry, and handmade abaca papers, as well as selected pages from scientific lab books and a 1984 Polish electronics manual.

Wanna learn more about how this book was made? You can follow along with Peters’ production process here. Wanna learn more about the thought process behind it? Check out this 1885 text The Moon: considered as a planet, a world, and a satellite (also available for loan through the UWM library catalog).

--Ana, Special Collections Graduate Intern

Some woodcuts for you from our 1541 Lazare de Baïf text, Annotationes in legem II De captiuis & postliminio reuersis. While he discusses the rights of captured soldiers and their later return to freedom, he gets a bit distracted by a reference to ships and explores Greek and Roman naval ships for most of the book.

Whenever some old wrinkly lady will come up to me asking things like "oh but what are your plans for the future? oh but are you sure about that? and what about your future career?" my answer will consist of these miniatures. This, ma'am. This is my plan. This is my future. Whatever this man's job is, it will be mine too. Do I have a clue about what it is? Not exactly, but count me in.

#magister pulls worst armillary sphere ever asked to leave the universitas #yeah that one at the center of the floating portal is the cottage I booked for these holidays #hold up lemme take my trinitary circles out #i bet listening to malice mizer while transcribing those books is fire tho #medieval art #medieval manuscripts #medieval history #middle ages #illuminated manuscripts #medieval illuminations

why did two different people who are still actively blogging and writing about harry potter in 2024 just try to follow me. this is a trans person of color blog lol can you PLEASE read another book

#rimi talks #even if you try to pull some ''separating the art from the artist bc fandom doesnt directly give her money'' shit #those books are still quite racist antisemitic and frankly transphobic #like whats all that shit about the stairs ~not letting~ BOYS into the GIRLS dormitory hm. but girls can go into the boys ofc #like if you choose to be into that shit in 2024 and its front and center on your blog i Will be blocking you. what on earth.
