#I'm worried for my community

[souptimewithfrogs]

So I work at a tool store, right? In the South. I'm mostly at register so I get to talk to all of the customers. Something that caught my attention recently is the confidence of folks to express violence after Trump's win. I was lucky enough to be off the days following the election but I was back to work that Friday.

I remember a customer coming up with a socket set that was missing a few pieces, and we had a bit of conversation. Theft is fairly common at my store, much like it is throughout all of retail. I mentioned this, and how it was especially common for this type of item. His response was, "Those people need the crap beat out of them." Honestly, I'm not sure if this man's casual call for violence was a result of the election or a consequence of being in the South, but it struck me as unusual. I didn't really have a response for him, so I just checked him out and he left. I've had a few other customers come up and talk about the election results, but that one stuck out to me.

I've seen so many people online pleading for their friends and their community to just survive and to keep living. I've had conversations with my friends who are afraid to ask who their parents voted for out of fear of knowing that they voted against everything they believe in. One of my friends has diabetes and she's worried that she'll be able to keep getting her medication after this.

I honestly don't know the most about this stuff, but what I can see is on one side people are pleading for their lives, and the other is calling for violence.

popping in to say a few kind words about your art because i never viewed your art as cutesy pretty much ever? i never saw your style is just. cute. and p much anyone who says that has a very shallow way of defining art styles

i admire your style of art so much because of the unapologetic saturation and vibrancy in color, the way you utilize them has so clearly been practiced and curated careful even when you might just have been fuckin around. your sense of color has come to a point where im pretty sure its just instinctual, but even then the attention to detail of how light bounces and how they interact with other colors is nothing less of a very talented skill.

this isnt even mentioning your understanding of form makes me want to Gnaw On My Furniture, you make it look so Easy with your linework. its so gestural but also so compact at the same time-- theres this narrow line you tend to do there there is so much clarity in a silhouette but at the same time it doesnt feel like a posed model, its just a photograph taken. the naturalism is so fantastic, i FEEL like im seeing a snapshot into a world that does not involve me and thats good.

honestly its very upsetting that people chalk up your work valuing nothing more than fanart because there is so much MORE youre clearly doing with style study, color and photo study, research into animal behaviors/biology/interpreting realism into stylized shape and form. frankly, it is a Disservice to you that people think you arent... i dont know deserving to express your goddamn feelings????

anyway this is a long way to say i hope people will stop being shitheads to you n you can find those shitheads to block fully and entirely bc they clearly arent the attentive appreciating target audience they think theyre being

HEEHEE... thank you ...... I love 2 hear detailed thoughts on my silly ocs and such .. glad you're enjoying them 👍
