#art yapping

You know what I miss........ Community. I really miss it. Back when I came online in 1998 (active in communities with my art in the 2000's on the dot) back when art forums, people having personal websites, and archives were a thing. You would think building a community, and finding folks who share similar interests would be hard considering the lack of social media. But it was so easy and so much fun to just babble about art in emails, talk ocs , world building and talking about art in general, what bands you were into, and what new DIY fashion you did to wear to school the next day. Simple times. I feel I took it for granted compared to what the internet is now with art. Hell how the internet treats artists. How it kinda makes it seems like we are just here to be consumed...like we aren't people behind a screen. I feel if it wasn't for the community that is tumblr I would not post socially beyond my website. There is something about tumblr that still has a glimmer of that artist community, communication, and more for me at least , that keeps me here compared to sites I have left. I still yearn for a dead past.. so many claim to want community but tend to only want stepping stones and its deathly sad to see it play out. So many claim to want old internet community and yet it was about participation for the hell of it. It was about commenting, sharing art with friends talking to the artist.. the artist talking back. ( of course we all have lives and not everyone has time) so minus that. Lets just think in when we have time yuh know. but man the yearning for that sense of community what an adrenaline rush it was....it inspired me to do art trades and random gift arts of peoples ocs..... I miss genuine artistic friendships. Where folks would ping me on msn and go hey pal look at this new thing I drew :') MISS IT sometimes I really really want to make a discord fostering that community, so god damn badly so folks have a place to relax away from social media and actually interact. Hell Id love it too. I mean if there is an interest for it Id make it since it would be nice....

Y'know, if I had a nickel for every one of my friends that saw Captain Orca and ended up getting a crush on her, I'd have 4 nickels. It's not a lot, but I am not concerned at all, in fact I think it's kinda funny and a fun sign that I've made it as a character designer.

When I had my first period, I was very afraid. I knew what it was, but I still wasn't prepared, so i was scared

So I'm a strong believer in properly informing and preparing every AFAB (assigned female at birth) child for their eventual first period

I hate this weird ideal people have that periods are gross or sexual, and shouldn't be taught. Because it ultimately will just set up AFAB children for fear and stress when their first eventually happens

So I drew this poster that I like to imagine is somewhere in the daycare bathroom, to show all children that it's normal, and AFAB children what to do when they get one :]
