Hi! I go by Vapor, or sometimes simply Z. I am an artist and writer from the USA who loves vaporwave, the 80s, and retrofuturism. I post fanart and original characters!
I know I mostly post just art, but I thought I would share a life update. I'm learning to repair old computers! Dell Inspiron 531, was in a building for years, no AC. I took it in and it wouldn't turn on. Some leads and deductive reasoning later...she boots!

What Could Have Been (Mixed Media)

If you know the comic panel this is based on, you get a cookie. For the rest of you, it's based on Boba and Sintas from Legends.

Day 10 of #ArtAdventCalendar. Tucked in a back alley on the east side of Toronto is a funky little art gallery in a former garage/stable. Gagne Contemporary showcases art by local a& far-flung artists. It's opening receptions often spill out into the night making a pretty scene to paint #artgallery

“writing a novel is easy!”

ⓘ official sources state that this is false and misleading

Blocking anyone who is mildly sus immediately and without particular emotional engagement is obviously the best way to go but once in a while it would be nice to have a block option that ALSO produces an animation of the profile being flushed down a toilet or maybe the text melting gruesomely away

New authors! Things you absolutely do not have to pay for:

-Being published

-Being interviewed on a podcast

-Book reviews

Things you should be paid for:

-Being published

-Your time and expertise

It doesn't matter how new you are. You never need to pay to play 🖤

“My problem is I’m a perfectionist!”

Being a perfectionist isn’t something odd or special; it’s the default setting we all begin at as writers. We all seek perfection.

Professionals know perfection doesn’t exist and is only imagined in the eyes of the viewer/reader. “Perfect is the enemy of good.”

Just daily reminder for all fellow artists. Nightshade and Glaze your stuff. It’s investment in your future.

My spiritual aspiration for 2025 is simple and singular.

To learn to be as kind to myself as I am to others, and to give myself as much grace as the Christ has already extended to me.

And in doing so, to be fully at peace when I am quietly alone with myself for extended periods of time.

The problem with being a writer is one ends up judging one's first draft against the best finished works of all time.
