It's a bit silly that when you do art for a living, people think you don't do emotional labor, but man. I've drawn for a guy who was planning to gift his gf an anniversary gift, and she passed away in the middle of me drawing it for them. I've drawn for a woman who wanted me to draw her daughters oc, and she randomly dropped;"It's my last gift for her because I've been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor". I've drawn rabbits, cats and dogs as memorial pieces for people and their beloved pets, I've drawn dnd group shots for sessions that lasted years, Now coming to an end because the dm died. I don't know. It feels so, immense to be a part of people's lives like this. I have cried so many times because people were cruel to me over commissions, but I have cried harder because people were kind to me. I wonder if the art helped. Even a little. I hope it did.

i do have to admit frederick trumper from chess the musical is one of the characters ever written. like no matter how Good or Bad chess the musical is you have to admit that they really managed to make one of the most batshit insane character concepts ever conceived

the graphic design of the chess bway revival is so bad it spited me to make these. i made these both in like an hour on canva and while they may not be the best things out there, they're at least nicer to look at

Hi I think about this too much

They died together, Obviously. But I always think about what if one of them, maybe because the place they got shot at wasn't as fatal, stayed alive for just a bit longer. I don't know.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

I have been thinking of this Canal+ ad with napoleon in it

to anyone curious of where my notes on the les mis tour went (which i dont think is anyone but so be it): i am letting those sit for a minute! this is mainly because im actually getting the opportunity to see the show again, and in more of a comfortable travel situation, so i'll really be able to flesh out my notes. around that time, i will also be pairing my notes with a certain audio file that may or may not be from the performance that i saw :]

currently trying to parse the meaning of a dialogue line in the 1988 broadway version of the show; could anyone provide some insight into what it means when walter says "the trade show's just beginning. florence- if you feel like slumming"?

what does he mean by 'slumming' here?? i looked up the meaning of the word and it didnt really clarify anything

[marius-ponting-that-mercy]

every time i do something like this i think of the post thats like "yo socrates its a fucking cookie"
