Color

the caramel colored corduroy

talks to me in secret

I want to be a coat, it says

and trusts my hand to make it so

with needle pushing, sure and tight

we work together to bring it to life

cut circles out of beauty

choose a preference from the past

try on the present

and if we're true...

in the end

I have warm clothes to wear

when the world is cool

he's fighting a beautiful buff lady. her shirt gets ripped and she's left in her slutty little tank top. "come on," you think. "why is the woman always wearing sexier things than her male counterparts." but fear not. now HE takes off his shirt and he's left in HIS slutty little tank top. equality. and then they kiss

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

The little long eared bat lady is finally done and colored. Now I can finally get her out of my head.

I made some weird little watercolor and gouache paintings for a sci-fi-themed exhibition. I was miles out of my comfort zone and some of my paintings were Quite Bad but I had fun

Hey! All of your drawings do not need to be completely unique from one another. Do you know how many versions and replicas of his Sunflowers Van Gogh actually did? Just draw that naked guy ten times. Reuse that colour palette. Do that pose again. Follow your heart for real, no one can care as much as you do.

no character or plotline will ever fully explore an issue from every point of view, and that's okay. art can and should be a starting point for a discussion rather than seen as a 'one size fits all'. each and every person who experiences a story will see it in a different way, will pick up on things that someone else didn't, and might find a viewpoint that speaks specifically to them that even the creator themselves didn't intend.

art is a conversation, not a textbook. it is not supposed to tell you a fact, but rather show you an inkblot test and ask what you see.
