I've Been Making A Lot Of Bad Art Lately Which Is One Of The World's Most Healing Activities But If You

i've been making a lot of bad art lately which is one of the world's most healing activities but if you have perfectionist tendencies you really have to commit to volume (if you make ONE bad painting it's just a bad painting whereas if you make 20 it's a meditative practice!). unfortunately we live in a one bedroom apartment and now we have to commit a significant portion of our storage to bad paintings. i would recycle them but unfortunately i need spare bad paintings to weave together into bad papercraft!!

anyway so i decided to move my bad artmaking into a new, smaller sphere and make bad linocuts. and let me tell you. if you are trying to get past thinking "my art should be good," linocut is a wonderful teacher. everything can be going great and then you exert slightly too much palm pressure and WHOOPS! sliced the face off. luckily the craft is so niche that negative self-talk can't really stick to it. i'll think something like "everybody else's linocuts are perfect. nobody else fucked up their linocut of a hot lady sphinx." and this is such a patently bananas sentence that i can simply laugh fondly at it and continue hacking away at my little rubber square. recommend

brad dourif fanarts by humanpincushion

When I was first scrounging around for Bradthirst material, I came across these pieces by @anonmarleighdourif (humanpincushion on DeviantArt). They have an incredible talent for capturing his likeness, especially the eyes.

As Luther Lee Boggs, with oily black chains binding him in his red prison jumpsuit, his hands skeletal and black with oil or slime.
A skeletal Martin Klamski, in a tattered greatcoat, holding a cigarette with smoke wafting around. The look (as with most of these) is red and black on a tan base, with Victorian vampire vibes.
Brad's face with a beatific expression, atop a skeletonized, disintegrating torso
Brad in Spontaneous Combustion, with a half-melted face and expression of resigned pain and confusion.
As Raymond in Blue Velvet, holding a knife to Jeffrey's (Kyle's) throat. Both have fairly neutral expressions, Raymond with a faint tinge of menace, while Jeffrey accepts his fate.
Charles Lee Ray, mostly intact in his suit and coat, but with entrails spilling out, which he grasps along with a giant red jeweled pendant.
Skeletonized again, as Billy Bibbit looking dolefully off to the side while hugging himself, pulling a piece of flesh from his own neck.
As Robert McEvoy from The Gardener's Son, wide-eyed and wild-haired, clutching the noose around his neck, whose rope winds around his torso, binding his arms.
As Tucker Cleveland from Graveyard Shift, clutching at his own face and neck, leaving bloody finger marks. A live rat is on his shoulder, and a skeletal one climbs his hand. Style is more modern, sketchy, and abstract, on white instead of tan.

So lush, these are a huge inspiration for me. I just want to stare at them all day long.

dizzy...

This was gonna be a multi-movie montage but I started putting it together and he and the camera are just constantly spinning around in Spontaneous Combustion

I could have put in more flame clips for DRAMA, since that's the actual theme of the movie, but lbr it's just an excuse to cut together all my fave clips of BD being pretty 💕

As a person who isn't hearing-impaired and is usually terrible at reading lips, I've noticed that Brad is often very easy to understand. I've never seen Body Parts, but I'm pretty sure he's yelling something about "two hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

The way he puts his full self into every single syllable, it's so compelling. Along with each tautly controlled muscle... the amount of energy is incredible.

Genuine question, but how do you deal with knowing it’s impossible to create anything truly original? I’m a huge sci fi and horror fan, I love fucked up concepts and situations, but whenever I think I’ve come across a new concept, I eventually find something that touches upon the same or similar idea, and I lose all motivation to write. Like your story the fluid. I found it poignant and funny, but I just found ‘half a life’ by kid bulychev, and it sounds quite similar

Well I've listened to enough punk bands to know that almost everything has been done before but if you have enough fun with it it doesn't matter. I'm certainly not trying to be truly original, just to do what I like in a way that's fun for me. Sometimes I try to challenge myself to include a different kind of perspective, or an emotion I don't usually try to evoke, or to include an observation or a feeling, or to make something funny out of something that's not, but I'm not trying to think a thought that no one's ever had before. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll happen. Sometimes a wrinkle in your brain will yield something you didn't see coming. But I don't think you can try for it.

Why I do not consider Iron Widow a "feminist" book and how there's a difference between female rage and feminism, which only kicks in throughout Heavenly Tyrant as Zetian gets educated and ties the gender struggle to the class struggle

Happy International Working Women's Day! Never forget its origins in the labor movement! There will never be true emancipation for women without emancipation of the working class.
