Cow

Hello sorry for an ask. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

hello!! I'm so sorry, I'm not currently in a position where i can donate money! however I'll do my best to spread the word

if anybody can, please check out the gofundme in their profile!! otherwise, please help spread the word!

first big polymer clay sculpture!

of Euphoria, my DnD character I've posted art of a couple times now

in the background, a wooden posable model that I painted and decorated a few years ago to look like Azazel, Euphoria's patron

i used a wire and tin foil base, which i covered with polymer clay. i created and baked the body in one go, then the head and horns separately so they could fit in the small oven. then i painted him, added yarn for the fur and hair, and gave him a staff to help him stay balanced. finally, i inserted the antler wires into the head and glued them on, and stuck the head onto the wire post i left on the neck, and secured it all together. it took about 3 weeks worth of art classes to complete

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

this is my vest so far! I've been working on it in my spare time, and though it's slow progress since im embroidering almost all the patches by hand, im super proud of what I've managed. if anybody has any ideas for sci-fi / cryptid / queer supportive / spooky patches, please let me know!

as a side note, i do have a large back panel for this vest where the "protect trans youth" patch is. the back piece will only be attached with safety pins, so i think I'm going to put my more political patches there so if i feel unsafe i can cover them up. i made it over the summer but i recently started going back and touching it up, so I'll make a post with it soon!

ART PROGRESS:

alcohol marker coloring improvement from September 2023 to April 2024 (6 month difference)

i now have a better understanding of how alcohol markers work and how to build up the color slowly to create depth and texture, and to prevent losing the lineart. i am once again more patient in lineart, shading, background art, AND coloring

i used lineart only for the subject - the dragon - allowing the background to consist of shapes to not be distracting. i used the texture of the markers to my advantage, creating a scaley appearance on the dragon and a cloudy one for the sky. i also used a white gel pen to add bright highlights and even more texture

the 2am urge to paint

based on a screenshot of the nether in Minecraft. the basalt deltas are one of my favorite biomes. it's so simple and barren, but it's oddly calm, especially with the ash floating in the air. i wasn't really sure how to portray the glowstone, so it's a little bright, but other than that I'm very happy with how it turned out

You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.
