Yes, I’m LGBT+, yes I’m liberal, punk for life, eat the rich. But this is an art account. I have every political term I can think of muted for my sanity, but some still slips through. I try to keep sharing of those to a minimum for the sanity of people I love. Welcome new followers if you like art 🧷

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

A psychedelic poster design with bold flowing text that reads "let's get lost" and a bust outline of a curly-haired man who has a tab of acid on his protruding tongue. Inside his outline are swirling patterns and a figures.

Quick reminder that Spotify's CEO doesn't care at all about what you think, nor artists or listeners.
If you ever want to move to Deezer (still crossing fingers they do not jump into AI too), they have a tool to import all your Spotify's playlists.

Plus : Spotify audio quality sucks.

It had a nifty little game on it, I'd play on the bus. Plus phones used to be able to be used as radios!

"Using reference is cheating, Tracing photos is cheating...."
Some people are constantly competing with other artists, and it REALLY shows.
Do we need to remind you that this is NOT a competition? Everyone has its own struggles.
Just don't steal other people's art, claiming it's yours and we good
