#craft not crap

[lanatusnebula]

Refsheet I was making based on the few bits of Kraft/Craft art and spriteworks I found.

Will probably never finish it but it came out ok. Was thinking his face looked kinda caved in in the original artworks...

New junk journal page I made. I found this quote/ affirmation that I felt was really healing.

Here's the original meme but I can't read who sais/wrote it.

I think lots of new artists make the mistake of thinking good art is down to the materials. Lord knows i thought the same when i was younger, but in actuality some of the best art i’ve seen was made with dollar store acrylics and paint brushes.

Don’t get me wrong, having access to high quality materials definitely helps elevate your craft, but it’s really not as important as a lot of people think. If you’re good at what you do, it’ll translate no matter what materials you’re using. Don’t stress so much about having the best or most expensive gear, focus on building skill, technique and conceptual knowledge.

Because if you can make good stuff with $2 paints, when you finally *can* upgrade to more expensive brands you’ll already be miles ahead of everyone else.

What if, instead of being a responsible adult, I rewatched Tristamp again. What then.

Not to sound like a cranky old lady, but I am shocked and appalled every time I venture into the capitalist hellscape known as Michaels Arts and Crafts.

My Body: Okay, the headache is gone!

Me: Good! Finally! Thank you! I'd really like to be able to get important crap - like, you know, writing? Or even cleaning the house a bit - done on my days off this wee-

My Body: Now your left eye is going to itch and sting like maybe you're coming down with pink eye!

Me: ... ... ... ... OH FUCK YOU!

Check out the pendants that I have made.

I will be making more, so if anyone has any suggestions about what I should make, that would be great.

Chris Carter could've really used some lessons on complex storytelling from J. Michael Straczynski.

So I’m an English major and Idk why I thought I would escape the character arc (forgive me, my brain is half dead right now and I can’t think of the actual word I want to use) where I take a class pertaining to my major and the class and professor nearly kills my love for all things english lit, and writing.

I am struggling so hard to even show up to the class let alone write the bullcrap essays.

I’ve hated nearly everything I’ve written for the class. And all my assignments have been turned in late.

I’m in a drought right now, and I hate it so much bc I miss scribbling ideas in my poetry book. Or daydreaming about characters and making little stories in my head.

I sit in that class and all the creativity that I posses wooshes out of my head like my professor is Ursula and I’m Ariel.

I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE THIS

I like all my hobbies, kind of, but every time we move somewhere else it drives me absolutely insane how much stuff I have.

meanwhile my husband will probably end up with one box, his clothes and his computer (+ everything that goes with that).

these history and alternate history youtubers i watch sometimes use snippets of dixie when they're talking about the civil war and i've worked out why it sounds familiar to me despite having never been anywhere near the american south in my life: it sounds like the blue peter theme
