Gallery Jamboree 2023

so we all agree that art is no longer being circulated on tumblr the way it used to be, and that The Youths no longer know how to reblog shit because they’re from insta-tok or whatever, and that subject-specific tags are turning into a unusable slog because so much shit gets inappropriate hashtags. and that shit is getting pretty dire.

[image id: a hand almost buried in crumpled paper, holding a sign that says “help”]

i’ve been thinking about it and i have a proposal:

WE NEED MORE GALLERY SPACES.

[image id: a fancy art gallery with red brocade wallpaper, gold picture frames, and beautiful oil paintings]

who benefits from galleries? artists benefit because their work is shown in a space that’s already attended by an expectant audience. the audience benefits because they can follow a space with the expectation of being served the curated content they want to see. and crucially, people who want to participate in creative work without having to make it themselves can become the curators who help connect artists with audiences.

[image id: a mule-drawn tour bus about to set out on an educational ride]

i propose this summer, with school letting out and a lot of bored young people ready to particpate in fandoms and other hobbies, that we start a push to make more fanblogs with the explicit, understood purpose of serving the community more gallery spaces. artists will get more exposure and fans will get to see more art.

[image id: a wall mural featuring a large hand pulling back a blank curtain to reveal a dense and complex design of overlapping words and tags. a sunbeam illuminates a bright triangle of wall that reads “hey”]

being a curator is a really fun and really valuable way to engage with your community, whether that’s the fans of a show, hobby, game, science, genre. it really can’t be overstated how cool it is to be one of the guys who find and reblog artists with limited reach and thus introduce them to a wider audience that will be happy to see something great.

THIS SUMMER, START A GALLERY SIDEBLOG AND SEE HOW IT GOES. TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO START GALLERIES. ADVERTISE IT IN THE TAGS. ADVERTISE YOUR FRIENDS. PUT OUT CALLS FOR WORK. RUN IT FOR A WEEK OR A SEASON OR TEN YEARS. FOLLOW OTHER GALLERIES. LET’S SEE IF WE CAN MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

I DID AN OOPSIE

Okay, so context is important here.

This is Spriggan.

This is Spriggan’s not-so-smol son, Captain Toebeans T. McGillicuddy Wildboi I.

Yes, their names are immaculate.  Yes, Cap has thumbs.  Also yes, if you look into one ear, you can see clear through to the other side.

Spriggan was a roughly one-year-old adult feral cat when we trapped her in our backyard on Halloween night, 2019.  We’d caught Cap about a week prior, and he was about 16 weeks old.

Cap assimilated pretty well for a kitten who was too old to be adoptable.  He loves my husband, his mother, and Alisaie beyond life.  He likes me okay.  He’s terrified of my father-in-law.  Very few other humans have ever seen him.

Alisaie isn’t relevant to this story, but here she is anyway.  You know that meme that was going around that was like “which cat is the bby and which is the criminal”?  Yeah, we got one who can do both.

So, socializing an adult feral cat is hard.  I’m not going to go into it here, because I have this handy link where I did go into it.  It includes more pictures, and also the most important video in human history.

https://www.tumblr.com/droewyn/710812951143219200/you-guys-you-guys-you-guys-you-guys-you-guys-my

The big takeaway that you need to know is that while Spriggan is part of the family, and likes being part of the family as far as we can tell, she Cannot Be Petted.  Also, that our cats look Very Similar In The Dark, particularly Cap and Spriggs.  He’s enormous but she’s very floofy, and they both can look solid black if they’re curled up or viewed from the wrong angle.

Here’s the oopsie.

It’s 1AM.  I need to use the bathroom.  I must pass through the living room to get to the bathroom, and Cap is on the loveseat.  I pet him and rub his ears.

I go to the bathroom.  I’m in there for like two minutes, max.

I come back out, and reach down to pet Cap again.

IT IS NOT CAPTAIN.

The good news is, I still have all my fingers and all my blood.  Spriggan didn’t even hiss; she just teleported across the room and GLARED at me.

She’s still glaring at me today.  I am In Trouble.

But this time last year she would have shredded my hand so yay progress.

so how old is everyone you feature here in your blog? like the main hedgies?

Sonic, Scourge, Mayhem, Zonic, Mighty and Knuckles are 29. Silver and Blaze are 27. Amy is 26. Rouge is 31. Tails is 22, Cream is 20 and Vanilla is 60.

Patch is 1, since he's baby but he grows up naturally along the way. Shadow, Mehiles, Iblis, Nazo and Seelkadoom are immortal.

💐Happy Mother's Day!🎀

Have some Dazzling kids!

So some of you may know that in my @ask-sonata-dusk universe, The Dazzlings, being immortal human-siren hybrids, have lived for centuries. Throughout these centuries, they have become mothers numerous times, resulting in many offspring. While all three have had more children than those depicted here, these are the ones I have managed to illustrate so far. I intend to present a lot more content related to the Dazzling offspring in the future.

A brief description for all of them under the cut:

Adagio Dazzle's Kids (First picture)

Darling Place Holder Name (Ancient Greece) - She bears a striking resemblance to her mother in appearance, yet their personalities are quite distinct, much to her mother's dismay. As a result, Adagio found herself drawn more to Darling's cousin, Oracle Gem, often overlooking Darling throughout her childhood.

Silver Stone Place Holder Name (Ancient Greece) - The older twin brother of Silver Shield was a young boy full of adventure and energy. Ironically, he grew up to become a Craftsman.

Silver Shield Place Holder Name (Ancient Greece) - The younger twin brother of Silver Stone, he was an average, fun-loving child, albeit somewhat more reserved than Stone. Ironically, he grew up to become a soldier.

Sonata Dusk's Kids (second and third pictures)

Oracle Gem (Ancient Greece) - Regarded as a "gem" of her era, she blossomed into a woman of great beauty and admiration, ultimately becoming betrothed to a ruler. Although she maintained care and respect for her mother, she shared a close bond with Adagio, considering they're very similar in personality.

Bright Mind (Birth Name: Moonlight Spark) (Great Britain, 1800's) - The oldest of the triplets. From a young age, was a remarkably intelligent boy who was recognized as a prodigy. He ultimately pursued a career in medicine and became a doctor.

Golden Age (Birth Name: Golden Belle) (Great Britain, 1800's) - The middle sibling of the triplets and Sonata's only daughter at that time. A remarkably beautiful young woman dedicated her brief life to assisting her peers and close friends, including her girlfriend.

Midnight Menace (Birth Name: Midnight Cresent) (Great Britain, 1800's) - The youngest triplet, possibly the favorite of Sonata, was a boy who held admiration for his mother yet despised his birth father. Although he once pursued a career in nursing, unlike his brother, he ultimately followed a dark and ominous path.

Aria Blaze's Kids (forth, fifth and sixth pictures)

Glory Vine Placeholder Name (Ancient Greece) - The older twin sister of Spartan, she was generally a tolerable person among her peers but was more honest and outspoken around her loved ones. Due to her wit, she ultimately left her home to pursue a life as a traveling merchant.

Spartan Devine (Ancient Greece) - The younger twin brother of Glory was a charming individual, well-liked by his peers, yet he possessed an air of confidence that bordered on cockiness. He was renowned as one of the finest soldiers in his town.

Sandy Flurry (Birth Name: Sandy May)  (Old West/1860s - 1890s) - The younger sister of Hightail, she was a spirited and compassionate girl who became one of her town's renowned cowgirls. Unfortunately, an injury led to her early retirement, after which she became a teacher.

Dynamite Dash (Birth Name: Hightail Dusty)  (Old West/1860s - 1890s) - Sandy's older brother, though he was kind-hearted and generally well-intentioned, he was known for standing firm in his beliefs. He often acted impulsively and could be somewhat brash. A celebrated cowboy like his sister, he specialized in explosives, earning the nickname "Dynamite Dash."

Jazz Flame (America, 1980's) - The older brother of Jam is an actor who has starred in numerous movies and shows during his prime. Although he has not retired, his pace has slowed down lately.

Jam Blitz (America, 1980's) -The younger sibling of Jazz, renowned as a musician, frequently performed in nightclubs during his heyday.

That's basically what I have for all of them for now. Feel free to ask Sonata any questions involving them!

[animaginaryartblog]

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Blaze the Cat and Tails the Fox from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is based on the "iPod Brothers" meme with the two ducklings. The background is white. Blaze stands with legs spread and arm raised as if preparing for a fight. Tails is in front of her, fists raised with an excited smile on his face. A speech bubble coming from Blaze says, "Im AU.", while Tails says "and im Tism." On the bottom of the image is large black text with a yellow border reading "The Spectrum Siblings." /end ID]

back from my Lent fast just in time for Autism Acceptance Day. this is directly inspired by a RotTMNT version of The iPod Brothers that I cannot find again for the life of me. it's out there! somewhere! it had Raph and Donnie for autism, and then a matching post with Mikey and Leo for ADHD (three guesses what I'm drawing next), and it was very good.

here's a (marginally) less meme-y version because this actually turned out pretty well considering how fast I whipped it up

[Image ID: The same drawing as was described above, but without the text. A golden infinity symbol, tilted diagonally, has been added to the background. The lineart has been changed from black to a dark gold-brown, matching the symbol. /end ID]

2024/6/22 update: added solo versions under the cut

[Image ID: The same image as above, but without Blaze and with a transparent background. /end ID]

[Image ID: The same image, now with just Blaze. /end ID]
