Can I half-ass the art meme and do it from my phone?

I assume this is about the 30 day su art meme 

Brah, u can do whatever you want. If doing the thing from your phone makes you happy, go for it.  

I’ll tell you something about half-assing stuff. It rarely makes you feel good. 

If you’re saying “half-ass” because you’re scared that to put effort into something and fail, I’ve been there. It’s not a good. Protecting yourself from failure never lets you succeed. It makes you weaker as an individual in the end. 

Anyway that’s my take on it. What’s most important is for people to have fun. (and also be nice to each other and grow and shit like that) so if doing a funny little phone doodle from your phone is how you have fun, that’s awesome. 

But general life advice you totally did not ask for: don’t be scared to full-ass something.

Free Stuffed Animal Patterns

Here’s my personal collection of free to use plushie/stuffed animal patterns! I’ll try to update it as I find more. 

Also, just a quick reminder to look at the copyright / permissions before selling works made from these patterns! Some allow you to sell plushies made from them, some don’t. Make sure you look into that on the individual patterns! When in doubt, ask the creator. Don’t / can’t do that? Just don’t sell the plushies! Stay out of trouble!

If you have any more free patterns to add, or if any of the links aren’t working, send me a message either on this Tumblr or at skkon.tastic @ gmail.com. Thank you! <3

What we should be paying ourselves! It’s hard to work out how much to charge for your time so here is a chart, but even then customers sometimes don’t understand that art isn’t just happy fun time - it’s a job! If you get someone quibbling over your pricing then send them this: https://www.a-n.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Guidance_on_fees_and_day_rates_for_visual_artists_2015.pdf

Pro-tip for fellow voice actors and singers:

Aloe Vera Juice. HOLY LORD WHAT A MIRACLE PLANT.

My voice has been feeling a bit more throaty and scratchy than normal; I thought it might’ve been vocal nodules from voice abuse or acid reflux–both which go away in time with proper care, but still suck– and I’ve been looking for voice remedies beyond water; tea; and honey. I found out Aloe Vera juice ( and Aloe Vera in general ) is excellent for the voice and other health problems, so I grabbed some.

It tastes like garbage, but geeze; I drank 4 ounces yesterday and my voice already sounds like it’s brand new. I need to keep it up to get my voice back in tip top shape, but it’s crazy how quickly it works.

So if you’re getting ready for a gig or a long night of recording, get some of this. You won’t regret it.

New reference blog! Had one under the art account, but it wasn't useful to have it over there. It's way better to have it here. So! I'm gonna put a bunch of resources and crap on this blog. Stellar.
