In honor of reaching 200 followers on instagram (and desperately needing to update my old meet the artist), here’s a brand new version straight off the grill (click on image for better resolution)
[Image ID: A Meet the artist -drawing with a light green background. The upper right corner has the text “meet the artist” in big, dark green letters, with a branch on the left side and a lily-of-the-valley on the right side. Below them is the text “Silverior968 18 any pronouns”. On the right side of the drawing are paint smears in the colors of the asexual, demiromantic, and genderfluid flags. The light green text boxes with darker green borders and text in the middle of the drawing have the following contents: “Fave artists: Radical Face, First Aid Kit, Of Monsters And Men, Fleet Foxes, Manchester Orchestra, Sleeping At Last, Kiltro, Saint Motel, Madeon, Porter Robinson”. This text box has the finnish and danish flags sticking out from under it. “Interests: Marine biology, botany, folklore, animals, genetics (especially cats), ghosts, the sea in general, languages and cultures” This text box has a few stars adorning it. “Hobbies: Draawing, animating, writing, kayaking, hiking, reading, researching obscure topics, philosophy, listening to tunes” this text box has flowers adorning it, and below it is the final text box “Fave pieces of media: Arcane, Skulduggery Pleasant, Children of the Whales, Moomins, Hilda”. Near the bottom of the drawing is the text “Fave characters” with four small simplistic portraits under it. The first is of Anton Shudder from Skulduggery Pleasant in front of a purple background, the second of Larrikin Fetter from Skulduggery Pleasant in front of a yellow background. The two portraits are set up so that the two are smiling at each other. The third portrait is of Viktor from Arcane in front of a blue background, and the fourth is of Snufkin from Adventures in Moomin Valley in front of a red background. On the left side of the drawing is a drawing resembling a photo of the back of the artist’s head, with a prominent scar on the back of their head and neck. The picture’s caption reads “ Brain surgery scar” The background of the picture is beige and the artist’s shirt is dark blue. Next to the picture, near the bottom is a rainbow infinity symbol with the text “autism + ADHD” under it. Near the top of the photo is the chiari malformation awareness ribbon, a purple ribbon with a zipper on it. To the left of it is a golden star-shaped pendant with a golden chain. The star’s middle is made of glass, with flowers inside of it. The text “fave accessory” is written next to the pendant with an arrow pointing towards it. Above them is a drawing of a death’s head hawkmoth with the label “fave moth”. In the middle of the drawing is a drawing of the artist, with the label “166cm, 5′5 ft”. The artist is a white teenager with light brown hair and moles/freckles on his chest and face. Their eyes are gray and they have gold-rimmed glasses. Her outfit consists of chunky white sneakers, blue cuffed jeans, a black top and a blue jacket with funky geometric patterns on it. They are smiling and looking at a camberwell beauty butterfly perched on their finger. The butterfly has the label “fave butterfly�� above it. To the right of the artist is a drawing of a smiling chocolate tortoiseshell cat, with the label “me, but kitty” over it. /End ID]
