12/10/24 : “To hold the pursuit of truth in contempt by choosing to make our own path.”

To hold the pursuit of truth in contempt by choosing to make our own path" means to deliberately disregard the search for truth and instead actively decide to follow your own individual direction, even if it means going against established knowledge or accepted facts; essentially, prioritizing personal beliefs over the pursuit of objective reality.

This piece is composed of 2 separate pages. Page one has the devil, a green star of wisdom, a message, and a burnt match. The second page has a shadow of the hand of God, a blue star representing folly (biblical term), a message, and the shadow of the match. Both pages are brought together by the safety pin, this pins the green star to me.

The portrait used in this picture is one I took in a manic stage. The holidays are always hard for me, I feel like this happens every year, and it never gets easier.

I will scan this piece in later properly, but just wanted to post it early and explain some backstory to it.

If you took the time to read this thank you, it means a lot to me.

I got a portable scanner for my birthday, I'm excited to start scanning everything and making custom zine covers!

“Touched by God”

I accepted your will,

but it’s ok if I still cry right?

You could understand, right God?

My take on Cici my soulmate partner who passed a couple years ago. Inspired by Isle of Dogs by Wes Anderson.

Tender is the night for a broken heart, who will dry your eyes when it falls apart?

Started this Saturday but didn’t finish it until today, I guess the holidays are bit tough when you’re still grieving.

Space Song by Beach House is what I was listening to tonight as I painted.

“Maybe it’s safe to come home”

I get to work on my own personal art again which is relaxing. First time trying out a portrait w this color scheme and my first time using gouache paint. I don’t love it but it’s good to push myself out of my comfort zone.

[morrissforever]

Such a great turnout, I’m so happy I pushed myself to do this.

Looking forward to next years, I’ll definitely have more and better stock.

A few of the patches that will be up for sale tomorrow at Houston Zinefest. They’ll be like $15-$16 at most.

Hit me up if you’d like a custom one, or one of the patches I’ve previously made. I ship from Houston Texas :)

Zinefest is tomorrow, I’m all packed up and ready to go. I’m actually really nervous, but I’m proud of myself for making it this far. Will finally be able to bring out my “Morriss” sculpture I did during covid, this is my first solo art show.

Still working on finishing some of the patches, 4 to be exact. I’m also considering opening up a shop for them, they’d be like $16 each. We’ll see what the future has in store for my work.

Spent the last two days assembling my zine, it’s been a real pain in the ass but I managed to cut 800 squares out and put them together.

I also received my stamp in the mail today, I really like it.

[morrissforever]

finally got around to hanging the letters, I do love the color scheme I chose

[morrissforever]

Finished my shop banner for my table at zinefest this year, took me a while but it’s complete and I’m happy with the results.

Note to reader: it’s okay to take breaks between projects to feel your emotions, eventually everything will get completed.
