When it feels like the world's gone mad, and there's nothing you can do about it...
Check out @jadethest0ne and their fantastic work!
Was commissioned to do a lyric comic by @lunawoona11 about his version of Splinter in TMNT: Unity! I think this version of Splinter may be one of my fave fan-created incarnations of the character! Go check out her stuff, it’s rad!
It was my first time trying out a lyric comic, but I had fun playing around with the fonts and such :3 The song is Laura Palmer by Bastille

Bastille is a band that has real good songs, but once you can relate to them, they f*cking hit you with a truck of sadness and next you find yourself wondering about the meaning of life

from Laura Palmer by Bastille, Bad Blood album
and as you can see my art sucks so much its practically a black hole. but still, lyrics with actual thought put into them (including Laura Palmer’s lyrics and many, many more), should be celebrated. they spread good messages, spark meaningful conversations, and encourage people to think. i appreciate every single artist who tries to do at least one of these three things, and i hope that other listeners can do the same.
im going to try and do more of these but as i said i suck so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

July 1830: the Revolution I forgot
This is Bastille square in Paris. As anyone who's had history classes in France will know, this is Bastille as in Bastille day, 14 July 1789, when Parisians raided the Bastille prison to get weapons for their revolt against the king - the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
It's also rather well known in France that the Bastille prison was demolished shortly after, as Paris rid itself of symbols of the Old Regime. So it would make sense that this monument commemorates that, right? It's super famous, after all.
Wrong. This column commemorates the events of July 1830, some forty years later, the significance of which, I'll admit, I had forgotten.
So here's how it goes. Since 1789, France had oscillated between fragile compromises of constitutional monarchy, revolutionary fanaticism and the iron fist of Napoleon. Following the defeat of 1815, Paris entered a period of calm acceptance under King Louis XVIII, but his successor, Charles X, wanted to go back to the old ways.
So, in July 1830, Paris revolted again. Disposing of the king was a surprisingly quick affair, as in just three days, Charles X was gone. He was replaced by his cousin, Louis Philippe, who seemed more willing to placate the bourgeoisie. A new constitution was drawn up, known as the Monarchie de Juillet, or July Monarchy.
In this context, a monument to the victory of 1830 was commissioned, and this is it: the Colonne de Juillet (July Column), a 47 metre-tall column adorned with the names of the fallen revolutionaries, a mausoleum at the base and the Spirit of Freedom on the top - and is that camera surveilling the street below?
Louis Philippe had ascended to the throne after a revolution, but he would also descend from the throne after the next. In February 1848, Paris revolted for a third time, swiftly ending the July Monarchy and establishing the Second Republic... which, within just 4 years, would become the second Bonaparte dictatorship.
