#AND THEN I DID IT!!

beneath the brine - the family crest

honestly this art was kinda experimental for me! in both art and inspiration. kind of made a brain blast about a possible interpretation of the story of isat (below) and i will take ANY excuse to draw mal du pays

ANALYSIS BELOW

siffrin. sounds similar to suffer. or sisyphus

the image of siffrin in the first panel is directly referenced off an old painting of sisyphus. for those who don't know, he is the ancient greek king who cheated death and, as punishment, was forced to roll a boulder up a hill. but whenever he got to the top, the boulder would roll all the way back down and sisyphus would have to start again

sounds familiar, doesn't it? unsure if that was the intention but considering siffrin's love of plays and tragedy, stories, and their whole situation, i think it is an interesting reading of isat

and the king is a rock. he is literally a boulder. he is the climax of the loop's story, the top of the mountain, where after, siffrin falls all the way back down to dormant

as for the rest of this art. i have intentions but i would like to see if anyone else comes up with anything :)

can’t believe tiktok is actually getting banned, twitter is infested with bots and brainworm-infested musk bootlickers, facebook is king of QAnon, instagram caught the plague from facebook and is dying a slow death in real time… and as the dust settles… only Miss Tumblr is left standing… failing upwards once again

At least two major artists (Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan) making a point to vocally support trans people the Grammys is a big deal in this political climate.

Do you think we’re soulmates in another universe?

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

Love it when Rolling Stone puts out an article about the 25 most influential internet creators and I've only heard of 7 of them
