My name is Thea!

I’m an artist, mainly focusing on my cutesy/soft style (though I have others!) I’m interested in many different things- one of which is insects. This is my insect/general blog. I post a lot of bug content!

I have an art account that I’m going to be posting on more often- @doodlebugboogie

And I’m going to be soft launching a shop in June, you can follow the progress here!- @softbodyshop

I tend to use she/they pronouns, but I don’t really have much of a preference. It’s nice to meet you! I’ll be on ArtFight come July, so say hi if you want to! I will follow for follow :)

It’s nice to meet you! Have a wonderful day!

Nothing more embarrassing than having somebody ask you for something and you actually have it, but when you hand it to them it’s so clearly been in your bag for a while. Like yes, I have been waiting for you to need me for a long, long time

about my current situation below the cut

a bit about my situation currently im looking to get out of a harmful living situation. i cannot get a "normal" job due to my anxiety and i need money to afford ubers to/from therapy, my therapy bills, and my medication. i also have to pay for my cat who i am trying to find a temporary home that way i can get myself out a bit easier. my step mom has two transphobic/homophobic sons and due to a recent event in the house i have found that nothing will be done about it. i get gaslit, i have to care for our 8+ cats mostly alone despite only having 1, they have too many animals to care for, etc. im currently bouncing between home and my friend's house to keep myself out of the situation at home for as long as possible

UPDATE: my family recently told me that i have to start paying for everything including food, toiletries, etc on my own, so this is much more urgent for me especially since i was hardly able to afford my medication and transportation beforehand. im trying to find a place to live in order to get out of here as soon as possible so i can hopefully save up as much money as i can before i have to spend all of my savings on my needs. they said that if any of us living here cannot do this they will be writing contracts for all of us, meaning if one of the two other people that have to pay for their own needs dont do so i also get screwed over because of it.

favorite word?

This is a tough thing to answer!! I like round words that are full of vowels and take up a lot of room in your mouth (adore, bouba, soothing). My all-time favorite word has to be "gentle", though. It's simple but it's the type of word that looks like its meaning, which I adore

[bugmuncherr]

I’ve been drawing as long as I can remember, it’s always been something that I’ve wanted to pursue. I remember when I was younger, I learned very quickly that feeling displeased with your art was a very crucial part of getting better. At the time, I bit back envy and tried to sync my art style with others. I took and clipped and crammed everything I loved about everybody else’s art style into mine, like it would turn into something I adored. Instead my art style became this Frankenstein’s-monster-esque thing that never really felt like it was mine.

For a while I felt incredibly discouraged. “Why would anybody pursue this if all it does is make you jealous and frustrated?” And yet I still carried on creating, like we all do. I couldn’t tear myself away from it, no matter how much I would sit and tear into my creations every time I drew. But I finally realized that’s not actually what art is about. Eventually, when you get a little farther, when you fall into your groove, you feel more comfortable with your failings. Struggling to draw a certain body type or a certain angle isn’t something that makes you want to stop drawing, it makes you want to learn more. I think learning how to flourish at art means learning how to make “bad” art. You become less jealous, more inspired. You become less frustrated, more challenged.

I can’t take back what I said to myself about my art when I was thirteen, but I don’t have to carry those words with me today. I am not where I want to be with my art- and what a magical thing that is. How wonderful it is, to have room for improvement. If we weren’t going to learn more then art would very quickly become boring. That frustration is fodder- it’s what makes it so satisfying when you learn. The ultimate goal of getting more comfortable with your art is not to be perfectly happy with it at all times- it’s to use that frustration to press forward and continue to learn. Your art is never going to be exactly what you want it to be- but let yourself be proud of what it is.
